## Summary

Dorset Council has completed the procurement process for the 'The Haven' accommodation and support for women, under Lot 19 of the Dorset Care, Support, Housing and Community Safety Framework. This initiative, funded by the Single Homeless Accommodation Programme (SHAP) and the Homelessness Prevention Grant (HPG), aims to provide a bespoke support service for female rough sleepers in England. The procurement stage is now at the award stage, with key dates including the tender end date on 22nd November 2024, and the contract period running from 17th March 2025 to 16th March 2028. This project falls under the industry category of Health and social work services. The procurement process followed a restricted procedure, ensuring a selective and competitive approach.

This tender offers significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in housing-related support services. Julian House, a prominent SME, has been awarded the contract, underscoring the potential for businesses of a similar scale to compete effectively in this sector. The support service sets the stage for enhancing the welfare of vulnerable women, aligning with the government's goal to eliminate rough sleeping. Businesses adept in providing tailored support services, particularly for women, and those with experience working within high-profile, government-funded projects, will find such procurements advantageous for expanding their footprint in the public sector.

## Notice

Following a successful bid to the Single Homeless Accommodation Programme (SHAP) fund Dorset Council was awarded funding to deliver a 6 bed 'complex women's unit, with support' - breakdown below: Revenue - Yr1 - PS8,807.50, Yr2 - PS211,375, Yr3 - PS211,375, Yr4 - PS202,567.50. The Capital grant awarded has allowed the Council to purchase a suitable 6-bedroom unit which will provide accommodation for female rough sleepers. The acquisition of the accommodation is outside of the procurement process. The revenue funding is awarded by the Department of Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) and the aim of the funding is to support rough sleepers into settled accommodation and support the government's aim to eliminate rough sleeping by the end of the current Parliament. Revenue funding allocated to this project is made up of PS584,125 from the SHAP revenue support grant and PS50,000 from the Homelessness Prevention Grant (HPG). This provides the Council with a total of PS634,125 to deliver support for a 3-year period. There is a need to procure a bespoke support service for women because the Council does not have a service of this type in Dorset. Funding is high profile and is subject to monthly meetings with advisors from DLUHC. Progress will also be monitored on a quarterly basis through Key Performance Indicators set by DLUHC. This was a Further Competition via Lot 19 of the Dorset Care, Support, Housing and Community Safety Framework. Lot 19 of the Framework is 'Living Well (C) - Housing related support services.'
