The Southend-on-Sea Borough Council is planning to procure a contract for a Homelessness Direct Access Nightshelter, with an estimated annual value of £76,000, totalling £228,000 over three years. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with the contract expected to commence on 1st April 2018 and end on 31st March 2021. Interested parties are invited to submit expressions of interest by Friday, 20th October 2017, via email. The delivery location for this service will be within the Southend on Sea area.
