## Summary

The Renfrewshire Council is seeking tenders for the provision of Housing Support Services aimed at single homeless individuals and childless couples with complex needs. This procurement is classified under housing services and is scheduled to commence on 1st March 2022, with a contract duration of two years, extendable for a further two years based on performance. The submission period for this tender is set to close on 23rd August 2021. The council's address is Renfrewshire House, Cotton Street, Paisley, which is situated within the UKM83 region.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses that specialise in housing support services, particularly those with expertise in working with vulnerable populations. Companies that are Registered Social Landlords or those in partnership with such organisations will find themselves well-positioned to compete effectively. The contract requires a robust service delivery model, ensuring that support is accessible around the clock, which can pave the way for service providers to expand their offerings and enhance their reputational standing in the market.

## Notice

The Service to be provided by the successful tenderer is the provision of a Housing Support Service, primarily for single homeless people or childless couples who may have complex needs, residing in supported, interim accommodation at Abercorn Street in Paisley. Housing Management Services do not form part of this Contract but are required to be delivered by the Provider in conjunction with the Service to ensure its long-term sustainability, and will directly impact upon Council budgets for the provision of homeless services and the amount of government funding available to support the service. The Council looks to maximise the monies available to better assist more Service Users. The way any Provider makes formal arrangements for the lease of the Premises will directly impact upon the Council and may result in higher costs to the Council. In respect of any subsidy shortfall however, while the Council cannot mandate how a Provider arranges their commercial business, the Council seeks to maximise the funds available to it to provide appropriate services and to allow maximum recovery, by the Council from the UK Government, of Housing Benefit paid for Service Users assessed as needing Housing Support Services. Tenderers would require to arrange that they are either a Registered Social Landlord ("RSL") and enter into the occupancy arrangement (lease between themselves and the Service Users) or alternatively contract with a third party who is a RSL and that third party RSL would enter into lease arrangements with the Service Users and make separate contractual arrangements directly with the Tenderer.
