## Summary

Gloucester City Council, in collaboration with the Gloucestershire Consortium of six district councils and the Gloucestershire Clinical Commissioning Group, is conducting a tender for the Gloucestershire Entrenched Homeless Social Impact Bond (SIB). The initiative, aimed at addressing homelessness, has a budget of £990,000 and will be active from 1st October 2017 until 31st March 2021. The open procurement process allows participants to submit their bids until the tender closing date of 14th August 2017. This project is classified under health and social work services within the South West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on social services and community support, specifically those that are experienced in working with vulnerable populations such as entrenched rough sleepers. Organisations, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs), with innovative approaches and sustainable funding strategies, would be well-positioned to engage in this procurement. The successful bidder will be required to implement a results-based payment system and secure additional funding from social investors, thereby creating opportunities for collaboration and growth in the social impact sector.

## Notice

The Gloucestershire Consortium of 6 district councils, Gloucestershire County Council, and Gloucestershire Clinical Commissioning Group (led by Gloucester City Council) is one of 8 areas across England recently approved by the Department of Communities and Local Government for funding to commission an entrenched homeless Social Impact Bond service. Please see https://www.gov.uk/government/news/pm-announces-areas-to-benefit-from-50m-fund-to-tackle-homelessness for DCLG overview press release. The new service will provide intensive support to a fixed cohort of 110 entrenched rough sleepers and repeat users of homeless services across Gloucestershire, with an expectation to develop innovative practice such as approximation of 'Housing First' methodology. Caseworkers will facilitate engagement with their clients and maintain long-term support - along every step of their journey from street to accommodation, including through setbacks. This innovative support will help those who have not responded to previous and traditional services. Its purpose is to help each individual to access and sustain housing and wider outcomes. Payments will be made by result, with maximum underwritten funding from DCLG to be 990,000 over 3 1/2 years. Outcomes and outcome rates are pre-determined by DCLG, which include outcomes related to access and sustainment of accommodation, healthcare services, training and employment, etc. The service provider will need to secure funding from a social investor to deliver the service; quarterly results will lead to quarterly payments from the DCLG via the commissioner, for the provider to pay the investor. Summary of agreement between provider and investor will be requested in the forthcoming invitation to tender.
