Invitation to Tender For the provision of a Rough Sleeper Street Outreach Service

Huntingdonshire, East Cambridgeshire and South Cambridgeshire District Councils are inviting tenders for a Street Outreach Service that will cover the whole of their geographic areas.

The primary objective of the Rough Sleeper Initiative (RSI) is to reduce and ultimately eliminate rough sleeping by 2025. The Service that is appointed will support the three Councils to build on the successes already established over the past 4 years, continuing the work to reduce the number of people sleeping rough and enhance services for them and those at risk of sleeping rough.

The contract will be awarded for a 12-month period with the option to extend for two additional periods of 12 months. The option to extend the contract will be subject to: - Satisfactory performance of the contract as assessed via the monitoring data and outcomes achieved, provided for the quarterly contract review meetings (see section 6 Performance Requirements). - Factors outside of the Council's control such as the availability of Government grant to continue funding the service.
