This procurement falls under the category of social work services without accommodation. The tender process is currently active, and interested parties must submit their proposals by 16th April 2025. The contract start date is anticipated to be 1st October 2025, with an end date of 31st March 2028, including potential twelve-month renewal periods at the discretion of the Council. The procurement method used is an open procedure to ensure broad participation and transparency. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in social work services, counselling, advocacy, and housing support. With high-quality outreach services required across four specific areas — Annandale & Eskdale, Nithsdale, Stewartry, and Wigtownshire — there is significant potential for business growth and community impact. The contract award criteria place heavy emphasis on quality (80%) alongside price (20%), encouraging organisations with a strong track record in providing support services to participate. This initiative can benefit firms capable of delivering comprehensive support, including home visits and emergency contact services, and is ideal for businesses looking to expand their regional influence and enhance their service offerings. ## Notice Dumfries and Galloway Council has a duty under Section 32B of the Housing (Scotland) Act 1987 as amended, to conduct a housing support assessment for applicants who are unintentionally homeless or threatened with homelessness and that they have 'reason to believe' need the housing support services prescribed in regulations. The 'regulations' are the Housing Support Services (Homelessness) (Scotland) Regulations 2012. This opportunity is for the provision of high-quality outreach housing support within the Dumfries and Galloway region for anyone who has been subject to domestic abuse and/or coercive control. This includes those who have been assessed as homeless or threatened with homelessness. ### Lot Information Outreach Housing Support for Anyone Experiencing Domestic Abuse and/or Coercive Control - Annandale & Eskdale Dumfries and Galloway Council are seeking organisations to deliver outreach housing support to anyone who is experiencing or have experienced domestic abuse and/or coercive control.
