## Notice

Support will be focused on enabling and empowering individuals whilst not creating further dependency on statutory services. The successful provider will be expected to work in partnership with health and social care service and the voluntary and community sector to prevent homelessness and events leading to homelessness and reduce factors leading to repeated homelessness. The contract start date is 2nd July 2018. The contract term is 3 year with the option for two further extensions of 12 months each. A budget cap has been set for the Provision of a Buckinghamshire Community Housing Support Service for the contract period at PS713,336 per annum, and a total of PS2,140,008 for the three year contract period.
