## Summary

The Birmingham City Council is conducting a public procurement process for the "QU133 - West Midlands Housing First Pilot - Initial Mobilisation Support" contract, aimed at providing innovative housing solutions for vulnerable individuals. The procurement falls under the social work services industry category (CPV Code: 85311000) and is currently at the Award stage, with the contract period scheduled to commence on 1st October 2018 and conclude on 30th June 2019. Interested providers were invited to submit their quotations by noon on 5th July 2018, and the project aims to leverage £9.6 million in funding awarded to the West Midlands Combined Authority to support 675 individuals over three years, with an additional two years of legacy support.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in social work, homelessness prevention, and community services to engage in a transformative programme in the West Midlands. Companies with experience in delivering complex, cross-agency initiatives, particularly those that demonstrate an understanding of local government practices and the issues surrounding homelessness, would be well-suited to compete. The selected provider will play a crucial role in mobilising support for an impactful service that aims to reduce rough sleeping in the region.

## Notice

Dear Providers, Housing First is an innovative and intensive approach to housing people who sleep rough, and other very vulnerable people, in safe and secure accommodation, with as few barriers as possible. Intensive, ongoing support is then provided to help sustain accommodation, and provide a foundation from which other issues may be addressed. The West Midlands Combined Authority has recently been awarded Housing First Pilot status by the Department for Communities and Local Government. To accompany the pilot status the West Midlands has been awarded an additional PS9.6m in funding to implement the Housing First approach. The pilot will run for 3 years with a further two years of legacy support. Over this time the pilot will seek to accommodate and support 675 of the most vulnerable individuals across the West Midlands to substantially reduce levels of rough sleeping. Birmingham City Council is the Accountable Body for the delivery of the Housing First Pilot and now needs to put in place a structure to establish a programme for delivery of the Pilot.
