## Summary

Aberdeen City Council has concluded an open tender process for the provision of joint Outreach and Housing First support services to address the varied needs of homeless clients. The initiative consolidates two separate contracts, Outreach Housing Support and Housing First, into a single flexible contract aimed at increasing service adaptability. The contract, valued at GBP 1,275,150 annually with an option to extend up to five years, totalling GBP 6,375,750, was awarded to Turning Point Scotland Services Ltd. The procurement process applied the criteria of Most Economically Advantageous Tender (MEAT) with an 80:20 quality to price ratio. The award was signed on 17th December 2024, marking the transition to the implementation phase.

This integrated service tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in support services for homeless populations, particularly those able to deliver a flexible and responsive approach to varying client needs. Companies with experience in high-tier housing support or complex needs sectors are well-suited to compete for similar future tenders. Winning this contract not only bolsters a business's portfolio but also enhances its standing in the public sector, potentially leading to more opportunities within local authorities looking to implement comprehensive homelessness support solutions. Additionally, the scalability and flexibility required for such contracts encourage innovation and continuous service improvement.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Aberdeen City Council requires a joint Outreach and Housing First Support Service within Aberdeen City. The Service Provider will be required to meet the needs of homeless clients with a wide range of support needs ranging from those with medium level, or high tariff housing support needs, to those with severe and multiple disadvantage, or complex needs as defined by the Scottish Government Rapid Rehousing Transition Plan (RRTP) documentation, as benefitting from intensive wrap-around support and a Housing First approach to re-housing. The aim of the service is to allow a flexible and person-centred approach to support, to give the service provider the ability to adapt the level of support provided as the needs of service users change. The Outreach Housing Support service will initially provide for 500 participants over the course of a contract year who are either threatened with or experiencing homelessness; or identified as needing medium to high need housing support to sustain their mainstream council tenancy. The Housing First service will initially provide for 50 participants who are receiving a Housing First approach to their identified support needs and have been housed. Over time it is expected that the service will take new referrals as program spaces are vacated. Similarly, it is expected that the service will be flexible in adapting to changes in demand between the varying levels of support. The Service Provider will maintain fidelity to the Housing First principles for those receiving Housing First support. The initial contract term is 3 years, plus two optional one year extension (3+1+1). The estimated value provided, i.e.,GBP6375750 is based on the maximum 5 year period. The estimated contract value for the initial 3 year term is GBP 3825450
