The service will provide housing needs assessments, homelessness prevention, and relief duties aligned with the Housing Act 1996 and the Homelessness Reduction Act 2017. The Council aims to achieve Domestic Abuse Housing Alliance Accreditation (DAHA) by adopting a rights-based approach, offering survivor-led support and perpetrator accountability. Interested suppliers must submit their tender by noon on 20th December 2022. This tender opportunity, issued under the Health and social work services category, is suited for businesses specialising in social work services, housing services, and provision of services to the community. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise organisations (VCSE) are particularly encouraged to participate. The contract, running for an initial 2-year period with the possibility of extension based on performance, presents a chance for businesses to contribute to a vital social cause and potentially expand their service offerings in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. ## Notice The Council wishes to establish a contract for a domestic abuse housing solution and support service for those who are homeless or threatened with homelessness due to domestic abuse. The service will undertake statutory housing needs assessments and deliver homelessness prevention and relief duties in accordance with the Housing Act 1996, as amended by the Homelessness Reduction Act 2017. The service will support the Council in its ambitions to achieve Domestic Abuse Housing Alliance Accreditation (DAHA) and will therefore adopt a rights-based approach to support that facilitates access to a range of domestic abuse and wider support services in line with DAHA's values and principles, which include safety-led case management, survivor-led support, perpetrator accountability, and intersectional and anti-racist practice. This will involve administering statutory homeless applications and decision letters, undertaking housing needs assessments, and developing holistic personalised housing plans alongside proactive case management. The Contract will last for 2 years (unless terminated under the terms and conditions of contract) with the option to extend for a period 1 year for the following two years subject to funding availability and performance on a 12-month review. The contract will be awarded to a single provider although consortium bids led by a lead applicant are welcome.
