The City of Edinburgh Council is currently managing a public procurement process for a contract titled "Homelessness Prevention - Visiting Support Service for Young People". This contract falls under the general public services category and aims to provide support services aimed at preventing homelessness among young people aged 16 to 25 in the Edinburgh area. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the tender period ended on 12th October 2017.

Businesses that can offer quality outreach services, independent living skills training, and employability support are particularly well-suited to compete.
