## Summary

Herefordshire Council has awarded a contract for the general management and staffing of emergency winter accommodation for rough sleepers. The contract, valued at £180,000, covers the period from 2nd December 2024 to 31st May 2025. The winning bidder, Caring for Communities and People, will operate within council-owned premises in the West Midlands region.

The tender process concluded on 21st October 2024, with the award announcement made on 31st December 2024.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in social and community services, particularly those experienced in managing emergency accommodation and collaborating with outreach teams and community partners. Such contracts not only provide steady revenue but also enhance the service provider's reputation in the public sector. Organisations that are small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are especially well-suited to compete, given the project's focus on collaborative and community-driven approaches to support vulnerable populations.
