Published requirement description

Market engagement for the provision of Accommodation Based Housing Support.

Buckinghamshire Council are seeking to commission a new accommodation-based housing support service for 40-45 single individuals who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. This service will be for people aged 18-70 years with high support needs, and / or those with medium support needs who may present with high risk.

The Council doesn’t have a property to offer the support service from and is therefore seeking an organisation to provide both the support service and the accommodation.

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION. IT IS NOT A TENDER PROCESS.
