Inverclyde Out of Hours Homelessness Service

Inverclyde Council is initiating a procurement process to commission an 'Out of Hours Homelessness Service' as part of its general public services. The process is in the planning stage, with a market research questionnaire released on 16th June 2025 to inform the procurement strategy. The service will cover Inverclyde (region UKM83) and is classified under CPV code 85000000, representing health and social work services.

This procurement aims to transition to community-based temporary accommodation by closing the existing 24-bed hostel. A key date to note is 1st August 2025, when future notices are set to be published, indicating further progress into the procurement stages. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses in the health and social service sectors, particularly those experienced in providing community-based support services.

It is well-suited for businesses capable of managing out-of-hours support services and those interested in supporting individuals and families experiencing housing crises. Organisations with expertise in flexible service delivery models and a passion for community engagement may find this opportunity aligns with their business growth strategies. The market research phase signals an open field for potential providers to influence the final service offering.
