## Summary

Renfrewshire Council is planning to procure housing support services aimed at single homeless individuals and childless couples with complex needs. The tender, titled "The Provision of Housing Support Services for Single Homeless People & Childless Couples Who may have Complex Needs," is currently in the planning stage, with the anticipated contract start date set for 1st March 2022. The service will be provided in the Paisley area (postcode PA1 1JB). Interested parties can expect the future notice date to be 14th July 2021, thereby enabling them to prepare for the impending procurement process.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for organisations specialising in housing support and management services, particularly those familiar with working with vulnerable populations. Registered Social Landlords (RSLs) and providers with a solid understanding of the legal and operational requirements for such services will be especially well-suited to compete. The focus on a continuous, accessible 24/7 service underscores the need for businesses that are capable of delivering high-quality housing support, thereby fostering community rehabilitation and stability.

## Notice

The Service to be provided by the Provider is the provision of a Housing Support Service, as defined by Law and Guidance, primarily for single homeless people or childless couples ("Service Users") who may have complex needs, residing in supported, interim accommodation. The Provider will also provide a Housing Management Service as defined in Law and Guidance for the accommodation at specific Premises and will enter into such associated lease arrangements with the owner landlord of the Premises as may be necessary for this purpose. Such Housing Management Services do not form part of this Contract but are required to be delivered by the Provider in conjunction with the Service to ensure its long-term sustainability, and will directly impact upon Council budgets for the provision of homeless services and the amount of government funding available to support the service. The Council looks to maximise the monies available to better assist more Service Users.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The Service to be provided by the Provider is the provision of a Housing Support Service, as defined by Law and Guidance, primarily for single homeless people or childless couples ("Service Users") who may have complex needs, residing in supported, interim accommodation. The Provider will also provide a Housing Management Service as defined in Law and Guidance for the accommodation at specific Premises and will enter into such associated lease arrangements with the owner landlord of the Premises as may be necessary for this purpose. Such Housing Management Services do not form part of this Contract but are required to be delivered by the Provider in conjunction with the Service to ensure its long-term sustainability, and will directly impact upon Council budgets for the provision of homeless services and the amount of government funding available to support the service. The Council looks to maximise the monies available to better assist more Service Users. The way any Provider makes formal arrangements for the lease of the Premises will directly impact upon the Council and may result in higher costs to the Council. In respect of any subsidy shortfall however, while the Council cannot mandate how a Provider arranges their commercial business, the Council seeks to maximise the funds available to it to provide appropriate services and to allow maximum recovery, by the Council from the UK Government, of Housing Benefit paid for Service Users assessed as needing Housing Support Services. Tenderers would require to arrange that they are either a Registered Social Landlord ("RSL") and enter into the occupancy arrangement (lease between themselves and the Service Users) or alternatively contract with a third party who is a RSL and that third party RSL would enter into lease arrangements with the Service Users and make separate contractual arrangements directly with the Tenderer.. The Provider shall ensure that the Service is accessible to Service Users seven days a week, 24 hours per day, 52 weeks per year, irrespective of local or bank holidays.
