## Summary

The London Borough of Camden Council has awarded a contract for the delivery of the Respite Room project, which aims to provide emergency accommodation for women with complex needs facing homelessness or domestic violence. This tender falls under the social work services category and involves a direct procurement method as a single tender action. The contract commenced on 4th October 2021 and will conclude on 3rd October 2022, with a total contract value of £491,388. This project was initiated following the launch of the Respite Room Trial Programme by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) in June 2021, which seeks to enhance local authorities' response to homelessness issues in the UK.

This procurement presents valuable opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary or community sector enterprises (VCSEs), particularly those specialising in social services and support for vulnerable populations. Businesses that offer services related to emergency accommodation, social work, and support for individuals affected by violence against women and girls would be well-suited to engage with this tender. The successful delivery of this project is intended to facilitate the crucial support needed for women at risk, which could enhance the reputation and impact of participating organisations in the community.

## Notice

The MHCLG launched the Respite Room Trial Programme in June 2021 to enable local authorities to provide emergency accommodation and support in partnership with organisations specialising in homelessness and in issues surrounding violence against women and girls (VAWG). Camden was one of 11 local authorities across the UK chosen to launch the programme and has received a grant of PS491,388, to deliver the pilot project in partnership with the Single Homeless Project (SHP) who will be the provider. As part of the programme MHCLG have required local authorities to commit to starting their projects from 4th October 2021. The aim of the project is to support women with complex needs who are unlikely to approach statutory services or the national domestic violence helpline and who are living on the streets or in precarious situations where they are at risk. The scheme in Camden will be overseen by the Rough Sleeping Team, based in the Housing Support Services Directorate. Delivery of the scheme enhances the rough sleeping strategy, Routes off The Street (RTS), with its over-arching objective of ensuring that all rough sleepers in the borough receive a service that means they no longer have to sleep rough and are able to rebuild their lives away from the street.
