GLA 27230- Rough Sleepers Services (Specialist Services for Non UK Nationals, Rapid Response Outreach)

Rough sleeping is the most severe and visible form of homelessness. The Mayor is committed to ensuring there be an immediate and sustainable route off the streets for everyone sleeping rough in London. Since he came to office in 2016, the Mayor’s Life Off the Streets programme has helped more than 12,000 people to leave the streets for good. The commissioning of City Hall’s rough sleeping services is underpinned by the Rough Sleeping Commissioning Framework (the “Framework”). Guided by the Framework, a decision has been made to procure two contracts, both of which will commence on 1st April 2023.

Lot 1: Rapid Response Outreach Team

Further Information .

Lot 1: This is an outreach service which focusses on rapidly responding to StreetLink referrals for people sleeping rough to provide them with support as swiftly as possible. The service undertakes on-street assessment with those people it meets and wherever possible, seeks to find an immediate route off the street for that person on the night. Where immediate accommodation isn’t successful, referrals are passed to the local team responsible for outreach in that borough. It is a pan-London service which currently operates in 25 boroughs.

Duration of service including possible extension (these can change in future).

Lot 1: Rapid Response Outreach Team- Three (3) years plus possible extension of 3 + 1 + 1.

For Lot 1: Note: Authority can decide to extend up to full duration of 2 years or multiple extensions of a shorter period of time. However, the maximum of all the aggregate extensions is set at 2 years.

Expected value of each project:

Lot 1: Maximum estimated value of the contract over 5 years- £8,612,500

Please note this is the estimated maximum value. Actual value of the services are likely to be

lower than this value. For lot 1 the above maximum estimated value includes core services, optional services, and extension of term.
