## Summary

The Kent County Council has initiated a tender process for the provision of the Kent Integrated Homeless Support Service. This service, classified under social work services, aims to support adults with complex needs facing homelessness. The Council's budget, approved on 10 February 2022, incorporates a proposal to conclude the service's contract on 30 September 2022. Following this, the Council has pledged protection funding from reserves to ensure sustained support until the end of the financial year 2022/2023, while developing transitional plans with various authorities and stakeholders for future support arrangements.

This procurement opportunity presents potential business growth prospects for service providers well-versed in social work services for homeless individuals with complex needs. Businesses with experience in delivering support services to vulnerable populations and expertise in transitional care planning could find this tender suitable for tendering. The procurement stage for this opportunity involves transitioning and planning for alternative support arrangements, signifying the need for providers capable of facilitating smooth transitions while ensuring continued quality services for vulnerable individuals in need of housing support.

## Notice

The Kent Homeless Connect (KHC) service was commissioned by the Council in October 2018 to support adults with complex support needs who are facing homelessness. To meet the financial challenge posed by the budget this year and in years to come, the Council's budget, agreed on 10 February 2022, included the proposal to allow the service to end when the contract expires on 30 September 2022. After this date, the Council agreed to provide protection funding, drawn from its reserves, to ensure continued support for people who use the service for at least the remainder of the financial year (2022/2023) whilst transitional plans are drawn up with city, district and borough authorities and other stakeholders, in order that alternative arrangements for support in the future can be put in place.
