The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a key milestone being the engagement end date set for 25th November 2020. Located in London, this initiative aims to address the needs of various vulnerable groups, including single homeless individuals, women escaping domestic violence, and those with mental health issues or disabilities. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that provide social support services, especially those specialising in housing support and trauma-informed care. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete, as the procurement is looking to source five to six services that include intensive support options and specialised refuge services. Engaging in this tender could lead to impactful partnerships and contribute to the Council's objectives of reducing homelessness and supporting independent living among at-risk populations. ## Notice The London Borough of Camden commissions housing related support services in hostels and supported housing for young people, people with mental health issues, people with learning and/or physical disabilities, single homeless people with support needs, and women escaping domestic violence and abuse. The services for single homeless people with support needs and women escaping domestic violence and abuse are commissioned by the Housing Commissioning and Partnerships Team and are known collectively as the Adult Pathway. The Adult Pathway plays an integral part in the Council's Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Strategy (2019-2024). The main purpose of the Adult Pathway is to prevent homelessness, to help to reduce rough sleeping across the borough and to enable those with support needs and/or chaotic lifestyles to acquire the skills to live independently. The Adult Pathway comprises 673 beds and the level of support provided varies between services, but the majority of services provide 24/7 cover and are for people with medium to high support needs. The support provided is psychologically and trauma informed. We will be procuring five to six services for the Adult Pathway: * Intensive floating support based on housing first principles * Low to medium support in shared houses * Refuge for women and children (specialist service) * Medium to high support in a hostel and self-contained flats * High support for people with drug and alcohol addictions (specialist service) and subject to approval * High support for women with multiple disadvantage (new specialist service) This soft market test does not signify the beginning of any formal procurement process. Non-attendance will not disadvantage any provider from responding to the formal procurement process in the future. Further information about the exercise can be found in the attached advert.
