Published requirement description

Under Temporary Accommodation legislation Luton Borough Council (LBC) have a duty to provide the basic essentials when housing the homeless of Luton. LBC are required to provide cooking and sleeping essentials in means of a fully installed and working cooker, bed with mattress and white goods to each homeless client. Next day delivery and occasionally same day delivery is an essential requirement of this contract.

Same day delivery for the bed and mattress is required. The client group can be very vulnerable with medical issues, mental health concerns and other vulnerabilities and therefore care and reassurance is required when delivering items to properties. The clients must be treated with respect regardless of their needs.
