The Provider will work collaboratively alongside the Council’s Housing Solutions team to support and advise people who are homeless or threatened with homelessness or otherwise have a housing need on issues, including:

  • Notice seeking possession
  • Possession proceedings (including potential defences / counter claim)
  • Unlawful eviction
  • Adhering to Reasonable Steps as set out in Personal Housing Plans
  • Income and expenditure
  • Debt advice
  • Housing Benefit

There is just one “Lot” or contract available to bid for.

The service will be embedded within BCBC’s Housing Solutions team and will support and create capacity within BCBC’s Housing Solutions and Customer Services teams, who will be the primary referrers.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
