## Summary

The procurement process involves Torbay Council, which has issued a tender for "Rough Sleeper / Homelessness Provision and Wider Services for People with Complex Lives." This initiative falls under the health and social work services category and is located in Torquay, South West England. The procurement is currently in the Award stage, with the contract having been awarded on August 28, 2018, and an active contract period running from August 29, 2018, to August 25, 2023. The initial funding for the project amounts to £500,000, and while the procurement method is not specifically detailed, it operates under the light touch regime, with future opportunities for partners expected as the project progresses.

This tender presents significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in health and social services, homelessness support, and community engagement. Businesses adept in implementing Housing First models or providing rapid re-housing solutions will find themselves well-suited to respond to this contract. As the project develops and additional funding becomes available, further collaborations with diverse service providers can create additional avenues for SMEs looking to expand their services in the social care sector.

## Notice

Torbay Council is currently engaged in an alliance contract with Shekinah and Westward Housing for a project to reduce rough sleeping and homelessness. Shekinah are also the support provider for the Torbay Council's Engagement and Resettlement Service. They have been working in partnership with the Torbay Council to develop a new model of delivery for homelessness services and Shekinah secured the funding for the feasibility study into Housing First in Torbay undertaken by Crisis in early 2018. This has resulted in Torbay Council making a decision to move to a Housing First and Rapid Re Housing model and initial funding of PS500k has been made available to commence this work. Due to their current work within Torbay and strategic involvement in the development of Housing First to date Shekinah are integral to ensuring the initial phase of work, in relation to restructuring of homelessness/rough sleeper services, can commence. The Council is therefore intending to form an alliance partnership with Shekinah to enable them to deliver the restructuring phase of the project. Whilst the initial spend is below the current EU threshold for services under the light touch regime, this notice is being published because it is likely that Shekinah will access further funding as the project develops. Any further funding will be allocated through a wider alliance partnership and Torbay Council will tender for additional partners once the scope of the requirements have been developed and further funding secured.
