HAC6053 Core Rough Sleeping Services

" This procurement, set in the health and social work services category, aims to address the complex challenge of rough sleeping within the borough, and possibly on a broader scale across London and the UK. A preliminary market engagement session will be held online on 5th June 2025, divided into two events focusing on Rough Sleeping Outreach and Advice and Support Services, respectively. Interested suppliers are encouraged to register by 3rd June 2025.

The project is aligned with the borough's Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Strategy 2024-29, highlighting the urgency and strategic importance of this initiative, which is expected to commence on 1st April 2026 and conclude by 31st March 2030. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), that are capable of delivering support services to individuals experiencing rough sleeping. Firms specialising in health and social work services will be particularly well-suited to benefit from this opportunity, as the contract aims to leverage a responsive and professional support framework.

Given the emphasis on collaboration and market engagement, businesses that actively participate in the preliminary engagement events stand to enhance their understanding of project requirements and strategic goals, thereby increasing their chances of developing strong bids and contributing to an impactful public service initiative.
