In plain English
Gloucester City Council wants to appoint providers to run two emergency accommodation hubs for people sleeping rough or at imminent risk of rough sleeping across Gloucestershire, one in Cheltenham and one in Gloucester. Each hub will offer a safe place to stay along with assessment, stabilisation and help to find housing. The work is split into two lots worth £1,360,000 each, and a provider can bid for only one.
What the buyer wants
• Run a direct access emergency accommodation hub for rough sleepers or those at imminent risk, in either Cheltenham (Lot 1, covering Cheltenham, Cotswold, Forest of Dean, Stroud and Tewkesbury) or Gloucester (Lot 2, covering Gloucester City) • Provide assessment and stabilisation for people entering the hub • Deliver housing-focused support to help people move towards settled accommodation
Lots
- Lot 1: Cheltenham Somewhere Safe to Stay Hub (serving Cheltenham, Cotswold, Forest of Dean, Stroud and Tewkesbury)
- Lot 2: Gloucester Somewhere Safe to Stay Hub (serving Gloucester City)
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice does not list specific qualification or financial thresholds, but each lot is worth £1,360,000 under an above-threshold open procedure and requires running a complete accommodation and support service, so a small business would most likely be ruled out by the scale of the contract and the need to deliver the full service alone.
Always check the tender documents.
