Lot 1

The Service Provider will take referrals for individuals who have been found rough sleeping in Brighton & Hove for the first time from Street Outreach Service only. Client data will be managed through the Bthink IT system. The service will offer a flexible but clear referral process which allows placements to be made on the spot (including out of hours) if a vacancy is available.
