## Summary

The Preston City Council is conducting a procurement process for the "Provision of Enabling Centre and Assertive Outreach Service," aimed at addressing the needs of rough sleepers in Preston, England. The procurement follows an open procedure and is currently at the Award stage. The tender period closed on 24 March 2017, with the contract period running from 1 April 2017 to 31 March 2018. The contract value is £50,000, with a minimum bid threshold of £30,000. This initiative falls within the health and social work services category, and it targets the North West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for organisations within the health and social care sectors, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) that focus on social services. Companies that specialise in outreach assistance, homelessness solutions, and health-related support systems would be well-positioned to engage and contribute to the delivery of services aimed at empowering rough sleepers in Preston, ultimately promoting their business growth through this critical community service.

## Notice

Preston City Council (PCC) is inviting tenders for the provision of an Enabling Centre and Assertive Outreach Service to Rough Sleepers in the City of Preston. PCC invites tenders for the provision of a service for people who are verified rough sleepers, have a history of rough sleeping or are at risk of rough sleeping or are currently street drinking. Traditionally day services for homeless people have been focused on food, clothing and health services. Whilst we recognise that there is a need to provide these, we are keen that service users do not become dependent on services which enable them to maintain a 'street' lifestyle and prevent them from tackling the larger issues in their lives. This will be a flexible, building-based day service which empowers service users to make positive changes in their lives and move away from rough sleeping permanently. The Assertive Outreach Service will actively engage with those sleeping rough/street drinking, initially referring them to the services at the Enabling Centre and integrating with other city wide health, social care and other relevant agencies.
