Companies that either provide accommodation solutions, outreach support, or can demonstrate collaboration with local agencies would be well-suited to compete. As the demand for these services in South Somerset rises, this procurement is an excellent entry point for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs) looking to expand their business horizons. ## Notice South Somerset District Council's (SSDC) housing service aims to prevent homelessness and rough sleeping in South Somerset. Rough sleeping is relatively low in our district and this is mainly due to the provision of hostel accommodation in Yeovil and the proactive work of the rough sleeper outreach team, together with successful multi-agency working within South Somerset. However our rough sleeping numbers are increasing slowly, due to rising issues with active county lines within the district. There is an increased number of homeless applicants with drug and alcohol issues not meeting the criteria for alternative temporary accommodation provided by the Local Authority under homeless legislation, and there is a chronic lack of affordable accommodation in the private sector.
