## Summary

The City of London Corporation has awarded a contract for Temporary Accommodation Services for Homeless Clients valued at £350,000. The procurement process involved a direct procurement method with a Single tender action (below threshold). The tender period ended on March 31, 2022, and the contract period is from April 1, 2022, to March 31, 2023. The services fall under the Social work services category, and the delivery address is in London, United Kingdom. Mitchell Walker from the City of London Corporation is the contact person for this contract.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses providing supported housing and temporary accommodation services to engage with the City Corporation. The procurement was completed to meet statutory homelessness responsibilities and respond to the Covid-19 strategy. Businesses in the social work services sector, particularly those with experience in providing accommodation for homeless individuals, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The awarded contract aims to prevent breaks in provision and ensure continuity in meeting the City Corporation's obligations to the homeless client group.

## Notice

To support the City Corporation's statutory homelessness responsibilities, and in response to the Government's Covid 19 strategy, the City has engaged a number of providers of short term supported housing and temporary accommodation in the recent past. A number of those arrangements used a procurement exemption code contained in the City Corporation's Competitive Procurement Exemption Policy for Sheltered Accommodation and Residential Services which does not extend to accommodation and services for homelessness and the contract for one provider expires on 31 March 2022. A procurement exercise must be carried out to source future supported accommodation and temporary housing. This report seeks approval of four non-compliant waivers to direct award contracts to secure the accommodation and support elements to ensure the City Corporation can meet its responsibilities and obligations to this client group whilst that procurement exercise is completed. The waivers will prevent a break in provision and avoid a risk a return to rough sleeping for those currently accommodated and those who may present themselves as homeless in the future whilst the procurement exercise is underway.
