## Summary

The Sefton Council has awarded a contract for the "Homeless Review and Strategy 2023" project to Imogen Blood & Associates Ltd. The contract has a value of £34,920 and is active from 1st April 2023 to 31st August 2023. This procurement process was initiated as part of a tender and falls under the main procurement category of services. The tender period ended on 10th February 2023, and the contract period starts on 27th February 2023 with a deadline of 31st August 2023. This opportunity was published on 27th March 2023.

This procurement by Sefton Council for a comprehensive review of homelessness services presents an opportunity for organisations specialised in research consultancy, development consultancy, business consultancy, and related services. The Council aims to engage with service users and providers on homelessness issues, aligning the project with Communities and Local Government guidance. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise organisations (VCSEs) are expected to actively participate in this open procedure to support the community's needs and statutory obligations under the Homelessness Act 2002 and the 2017 Homelessness Reduction Act.

## Notice

A review of homelessness and homelessness services in Sefton was conducted in 2018 which formed the basis of Sefton's current Homelessness & Rough Sleeping Strategy (published in January 2019). This Strategy clearly sets out the strategic framework for Sefton by bringing together policies and initiatives agreed by stakeholder partners in one document, setting out a clear direction for preventing and reducing homelessness. The Strategy also informed subsequent decisions and actions for commissioning of homelessness services. To continue to meet its statutory obligations under the Homelessness Act 2002, and to engage with service users and providers on homelessness issues, Sefton Council wishes to commission a further comprehensive review of homelessness services and its Homeless Strategy and is inviting submissions from qualified and experienced organisations capable of undertaking this work. The successful organisation will be required to undertake this work in accordance with Communities and Local Government guidance and best practice. Please note that the Council will expect the successful organisation to take into account the additional duties introduced through the 2017 Homelessness Reduction Act.
