## Summary

The procurement process involves Gloucester City Council as the buying organisation, along with several other councils and agencies in Gloucestershire. The contract titled "Gloucestershire Rough Sleeper Needs Assessment" falls under the industry category of community, social, and personal services. It involves assessing rough sleeping needs within the region, supported by funding from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government. The project was initiated through an open procurement method, indicating open competition below the threshold. The contract commenced on 6th March 2026 and is set to conclude by 5th March 2027. This crucial assessment aims to inform commissioning decisions for local strategies regarding homelessness and rough sleeping. Key participants include public health authorities, police, and commissioning partners across the county, unified under the Gloucestershire Housing Partnership.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in social services, particularly those with insights into housing and outreach programmes. Companies that focus on health and social work services, as well as those with experience in community engagement and analyses, will find this contract suitable and promising for growth. The procurement underscores a commitment to refining and implementing strategies for rough sleeping intervention, thus necessitating expertise in evidence-based assessments and data-driven decision-making. Businesses that can offer innovative solutions to improve outcomes for rough sleepers and collaborate with governmental and non-governmental entities in Gloucestershire will have a competitive edge. This partnership opens doors for businesses to expand within the public sector, enhancing their footprint in social improvement initiatives across the specified regions.
