This initiative falls under the health and social work services category and is set in the UK, specifically within the Southend-on-Sea area. The procurement process is currently at the tender stage, with submissions accepted until 8th September 2022. The project aims to address rough sleeping issues and spans a contract period of 900 days, with the potential for renewal depending on future funding availability. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in social services, healthcare, and outreach initiatives. Companies that can demonstrate expertise in administering supportive housing solutions, assertive outreach services, and emergency relief programmes would be particularly suited to apply. Engaging in this tender could facilitate the expansion of such businesses, especially those focused on community welfare and homelessness alleviation, whilst contributing to meaningful societal impacts. ## Notice In spring 2018 Southend-on-Sea City Council (SCC) were invited to co-produce a funding bid with Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (now DLUHC (Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities)) from the newly launched Rough Sleeping Initiative. Since our initial award of PS425,000 for the winter of 2018/19, we have continued to be successful every year for a range of initiatives totalling investment over PS2 million. Our most recent bid for the period of 2022-2025 will enable us to continue to provide: * A team of assertive outreach/ inreach officers, * A 12-bed rapid assessment hub providing emergency relief and wraparound support * A full time Rough Sleeping Coordinator * A team of Rough Sleeper Navigators, including a focus on people with restricted eligibility * Personal budgets to increase engagement opportunities and allow individuals to access accommodation/appointments/comfort * Additional B&B capacity for surge periods * Specialist Housing Solutions Officers and Private Sector Solutions Officer The above underpin the aims of the Rough Sleeping Initiative which when announced were to have an immediate impact on the reduction of rough sleeping - halving it by 2022 and eliminating it altogether by 2027 ### Lot Information Lot 1 In spring 2018 Southend-on-Sea City Council (SCC) were invited to co-produce a funding bid with Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (now DLUHC (Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities)) from the newly launched Rough Sleeping Initiative.
