Street Outreach and Move On Service for Rough Sleepers
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
Hastings Borough Council has initiated a procurement process under the title "Street Outreach and Move On Service for Rough Sleepers" to support ending rough sleeping in partnership with local housing authorities across East Sussex. This tender is classified under public authority sub-central government and aims to deliver services in the guidance and counselling sector, community action programmes, and community health services. The procurement method was a direct award due to specific time constraints and supplier requirements.
The contract was signed with Southdown Housing Association on 11 November 2025, with the contract period running until 1 April 2026. This procurement stage is marked as 'complete' with an overall contract value amounting to £890,750, carrying out its services in the UKJ22 region of the United Kingdom. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in social services, particularly those aligned with housing and community support operations.
Due to the nature of the project, which includes proactive and specialized support pathways, businesses with expertise in delivering holistic housing solutions, health services, and community support functional capabilities are well-positioned to contribute effectively. Given the project's focus on partnership with organizations such as the NHS and local councils, those companies experienced in collaborative frameworks and multi-agency operations would find great potential in this contract, particularly in view of its objectives to address homelessness comprehensively and sustainably.
MHCLG confirmed an extension of government grant funding to Hastings Borough Council, to continue (in partnership with all East Sussex Local Housing Authorities), services to support an end to rough sleeping. This new allocation has been renamed the Rough Sleeping Prevention and Recovery Grant (RSPaRG). This grant has been awarded for one-year to allow the continuation of existing services aimed at responding to and preventing rough sleeping, and to support a long-term systems wide transition towards rough sleeping prevention and recovery.
Hastings Borough Council, in partnership with all other District and Borough Authorities in East Sussex, are seeking a provider to deliver on the programme's key priorities of assertive outreach and proactive move on support to clients who are, or will be, at risk of rough sleeping. The programme will respond both to rough sleeping demand and provide a range of housing support services dedicated to moving clients off the street and into accommodation. The programme will also have a greater focus on long-term prevention of homelessness and rough sleeping, through greater partnership working and contributing to long-term systems change.
To support this approach, local authorities and the contract provider will also work in partnership with Sussex Partnership Foundation Trust (SPFT), Change, Grow, Live (CGL), NHS, East Sussex Healthcare Trust (ESHT), East Sussex County Council and National Probation Services (NPS) to provide holistic support to those rough sleeping experiencing multiple disadvantages. The Programme will also be tailored to address a range of diverse needs across East Sussex and benefit from specialist pathways into short and long-term housing solutions. This will include pathways into off-the-street (OTS) accommodation, as well as pathways into the local authority managed Housing First Units, or other specialist/supported accommodation facilities (separate to this contract).
