## Summary

The Scottish Government is currently running a public procurement process titled "Housing Insecurity and Hidden Homelessness." This procurement falls under the category of services and aims to address homelessness challenges in Scotland. The buying organisation is the Scottish Government, with the procurement being conducted in the UK, specifically in Glasgow. The procurement stage is active with a value of £75,000. The submission deadline is set for April 4, 2023, and the procurement method is an open procedure.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses involved in providing services related to homelessness prevention and support to engage with the Scottish Government. The focus is on understanding and addressing hidden homelessness issues. Businesses with expertise in social services, housing policies, and homelessness support are well-suited to participate in this tender. The procurement process aims to improve Scotland's response to homelessness challenges by gaining a better understanding of the underlying issues and solutions.

## Notice

The Scottish Government is committed to preventing and ending all forms of homelessness and we want our homelessness policies to meet a broad range of needs. It is challenging to develop housing and homelessness policies and allocate the right level of resources to solve problems when we do not fully understand the range of people's experiences and the scale of the problem. Some people may be experiencing homelessness or are at risk of homelessness - and would meet the legal definition of homelessness - but do not appear in official homelessness statistics. This type of homelessness is hidden from view. The overarching aim of this research is to reach a better understanding of those people who are homeless, at imminent risk of homelessness or who face housing insecurity but do not appear in Scotland's official figures. This includes people who do not approach their local authority for help; people who approach their local authority but do not get a response that meets their needs; those who find alternative solutions; or those who do not see themselves as homeless. An improved understanding of the different routes into and out of homelessness will help us address gaps in provision and make Scotland's homelessness system more responsive to people's needs.
