## Summary

The procurement process involves Oxford City Council, which is seeking to contract for an "Engagement and Assessment service" aimed at homelessness services. This contract falls under the category of “Other community, social and personal services” and is based in the South East of the United Kingdom. The tender is currently active and will conclude on 21st July 2021. The contract will run for a period of eight months starting from 18th August 2021 and is valued at £1,200,000. The procurement method used is an open procedure.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses focused on social services and community support, particularly those capable of delivering engagement and assessment services for vulnerable populations. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) will find this a fitting opportunity, especially those with experience in homelessness support or related fields, as the initiative seeks to enhance service delivery and prevent rough sleeping in Oxford.

## Notice

Oxford City Council needs to recommission its engagement and assessment service for a period of eight months prior to the wider countywide recommissioning of homelessness services which will incorporate this service. The Service incorporates established services to support rough sleepers, as well as new services that were established in response to the Covid19 pandemic. Both functions are designed to better meet the needs of single homeless people and to deliver on Oxford City Council's ambition to ensure that nobody should have to sleep rough in Oxford. The Service is expected to play a major role in preventing and relieving rough sleeping and single homelessness.
