## Summary

The procurement process involves the CapitalEsourcing authority seeking proposals for the "Housing First for Women Service," aimed at addressing homelessness among women affected by violence against women and girls (VAWG) and other disadvantages. This service falls under the social work sector and is based in London. The tender is currently in the open bidding stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 1st March 2019. The successful provider will deliver a wraparound support service to enable women to secure and maintain permanent housing from July 2019 to June 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those involved in social services, housing provision, and support for vulnerable populations. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to apply, as their innovative approaches can help meet the specific needs of the target demographic. Collaborations with local housing providers may enhance proposals, providing a stronger basis for supporting eligible women and contributing to their long-term stability and success.

## 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.
