The Integrated Singles and Outreach Services will be procured in three (3) Lots:
Lot 1 Assertive Outreach Services: To build strong, ongoing relationships and offer consistent support to people who face long-term homelessness and multiple challenges. The Provider will provide support for complex cases, engagement strategies, and long-term recovery planning.
Lot 2 First Contact Team: The Provider will act as the first point of contact for the dynamic movement of individuals into and out of rough sleeping (FLOW) and those at risk of rough sleeping. The Provider will deliver rapid and trauma informed support and early interventions to prevent and move Service Users away from Rough Sleeping at the earliest opportunity.

The Provider will triage Service User needs and co-ordinate support and multi-agency planning. The Provider will actively collaborate with the Authority’s services through a hybrid delivery model, helping to coordinate joined-up planning and support. The Provider will need to provide a building with working space for 20 Council staff and those commissioned to provide support functions for this Lot, as well as having the capacity for Service Users walk-in’s and confidential meetings
