## Summary

The Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government is currently planning a tender titled "Housing First Pilot Evaluation", which is part of the research services industry category. This project aims to evaluate a £28 million initiative designed to support entrenched rough sleepers across Greater Manchester, Liverpool City Region, and the West Midlands Combined Authority. Key dates for this tender include an engagement end date set for 28 March 2018. The procurement process is in the planning stage, focusing on commissioning impact, economic, and process evaluations alongside the scoping work.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in research services and socioeconomic evaluations. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) could find this project particularly aligned with their capabilities. The procurement aims to engage suppliers who can effectively devise evaluation strategies for impactful social initiatives, making it a potential avenue for growth in sectors related to housing and social care. Businesses well-versed in public sector engagement and evaluation frameworks would be particularly suited to compete.

## Notice

MHCLG has committed PS28 million to pilot Housing First in the 2017 Autumn Budget. This includes funding for a robust evaluation. Housing First is targeted towards helping some of the country's most entrenched rough sleepers. The Pilot will take place in three regions, Greater Manchester, Liverpool City Region, and the West Midlands Combined Authority. The Pilots are currently developing their implementation plans. MHCLG are seeking to commission an impact, economic and process evaluation of the Housing First Pilots, as well as work to scope and agree the design of the impact evaluation with the Pilot areas. The implementation timetable for the Pilots means we would like to commission the scoping work, and the impact, economic and process evaluation at the same stage to the same supplier. The main purpose of this pre-market engagement is to test the feasibility of this approach.
