## Summary

Inverclyde Council has completed the procurement process for the "Provision of a Housing Information and Advice Service," aimed at providing accessible and independent housing advice to individuals facing homelessness. The procurement was conducted using an open procedure and falls under the services category. This process took place in Greenock, UK, with a significant contract value of £55,000 confirmed on 4 November 2021, following an award decision made on 15 October 2021.

This contract presents excellent opportunities for organisations specialising in social services, housing advice, or related legal services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly those with experience in providing independent advice related to homelessness or housing issues, would be well-suited to compete for future tenders in this area, particularly as Inverclyde Council plans for subsequent contract opportunities in 2026.

## Notice

The service is aimed at providing easily accessible, independent housing advice and assistance to those who are homeless or threatened with homelessness. Independent advice should be targeted at those who are either homeless or potentially homeless and who have already sought or received advice and assistance from the mainstream housing agencies. Queries relating to the prevention of homelessness should also be afforded priority by the service.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Inverclyde Council operates a Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) together with NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde. The Housing Scotland Act 2001 confers the duty on local authorities to provide a comprehensive housing advice and assistance service which may assist a homeless person or assist in the prevention of homelessness, free of charge for any person in the authority's area. Therefore, Inverclyde Council is seeking a Provider to provide a Housing Information and Advice Service.

Renewal: Next Tender opportunity will be in 2026
