## Summary

The Greater Manchester Combined Authority has initiated the procurement for the Greater Manchester Housing First Programme, which falls under the health and social work services category. This open procedure tender is currently in the award stage, with a substantial contract value of £6,321,714 aimed at providing continued support to individuals with complex needs who have experienced long-term homelessness. The procurement process has key dates, including the contract signed on 22nd June 2022, and a potential extension for 12 months available after the initial 21-month service period.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for organisations specialising in housing services, particularly those focused on social care and support for vulnerable populations. Businesses with experience in managing complex care and accommodation solutions would be well-suited to compete for this contract, given the emphasis on quality and technical capabilities over price in the award criteria. Collaborating with local authorities and leveraging existing networks in the Greater Manchester region could further enhance a bid's competitiveness.

## Notice

In 2019 the Department for Levelling Up Homes and Communities (DLUHC) commissioned a programme of three pilots with Greater Manchester Combined Authority, Liverpool City Region and West Midlands Combined to pilot the large-scale delivery of Housing First in England. The service is for people who have multiple and complex needs who have experienced long term recurrent periods of homelessness and exclusion from services leading to them having difficulties in finding and sustaining suitable accommodation. The pilot has been delivered for 3 years supporting 444 people to date across the 10 Greater Manchester Local Authorities. This tender is to procure a Housing First service for a further 21 Months ( with a further 12 month extension available) to continue to support those individuals on the pilot including housing those that are yet to secure a permanent offer of accommodation.
