## Summary

The procurement process for the "Housing First for Women Service" is managed by capitalEsourcing, the buying organisation based in Westminster, London. This service falls under the social work and related services category, aimed at providing permanent housing to women experiencing homelessness and those affected by violence against women and girls. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, which was completed following the tender period that ended on 1st March 2019. The total contract value is £179,000, with the contract period running from 1st May 2019 to 30th April 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the social services and housing sectors, aiming to expand their services to vulnerable populations. Organisations such as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-suited to compete, as the contract requires extensive support capabilities for the successful integration of women into permanent housing. Competitive tenders must demonstrate an understanding of the needs of this demographic and an ability to provide tailored support services in partnership with housing providers.

## Notice

Housing First is a homeless assistance approach that prioritizes providing permanent housing to people experiencing homelessness, thus ending their homelessness and serving as a platform from which they can pursue personal goals and improve their quality of life Building on the emerging national data around Housing first for women, and the local capacity building work done over the last year, funding has been secured to procure a dedicated Housing First service for women affected by VAWG and multiple disadvantage, which will enable 10 women to move into permanent, independent tenancies provided by four housing providers on a partnership basis. Intensive, wrap around support will be delivered by the successful provider to enable women to maintain their tenancies, and work towards safety and stability. Referrals to the project will be pan London, but Westminster referrals will make up at least half of the cohort (reflecting London trends). The Housing First element of this service will be delivered in line with the Housing First 'fidelity principles' and MHCLGO domestic abuse quality standards.
