In plain English
Camden Council is recommissioning its Respite Rooms, a 24-hour supported accommodation service for women experiencing domestic violence and abuse, homelessness, or multiple disadvantage. The supplier would run at least 16 bedspaces, helping residents feel safe and move on to longer-term housing within about 56 days (up to 3 months for women with No Recourse to Public Funds). The current service ends on 31 March 2027, and the new contract would start on 1 April 2027.
What the buyer wants
• Provide 24/7 supported accommodation for at least 16 women, using a gender-informed and trauma-informed approach to support their safety and wellbeing. • Work with referral partners such as Camden Outreach Service and Camden's Homelessness Prevention Service, and manage move-on into safe, longer-term accommodation within the target timescales. • Maintain safeguarding, staffing, and quality standards throughout the contract, including managing the transition from the existing provider.
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
A small business with no track record of running 24-hour supported accommodation for women fleeing domestic abuse, or without the capacity to staff and manage at least 16 bedspaces around the clock, would most likely be disqualified.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
