This open procedure tender has an estimated value of £800,000 and the submission period is open until 23 August 2021. The contract is expected to last for a minimum of two years, with the possibility of a further two-year extension, subject to satisfactory performance. The procurement process is currently in the active tender stage. This opportunity is ideal for businesses that specialise in housing support services or those that are Registered Social Landlords (RSLs). Companies that can provide comprehensive support systems tailored for vulnerable populations would be particularly suited to compete for this contract. Notably, partnerships with existing RSLs may also be beneficial, aligning with the council's objectives to maximise available funding and resources for the delivery of these essential services. ## Notice The Service to be provided by the successful tenderer is the provision of a Housing Support Service, primarily for single homeless people or childless couples who may have complex needs, residing in supported, interim accommodation at Abercorn Street in Paisley. 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. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Service to be provided by the successful tenderer is the provision of a Housing Support Service, primarily for single homeless people or childless couples who may have complex needs, residing in supported, interim accommodation at Abercorn Street in Paisley.
