MARKET ENGAGEMENT EVENT - SINGLE HOMELESS PATHWAY SERVICES

Haringey Council is inviting potential providers to a Microsoft Teams virtual market engagement event, in relation to the forthcoming procurement for Provision of Single Homeless Pathway Services.

The Market Engagement Event will be held on:

Date: Thursday 29th April 2021

Time: 11:00am to 1:00pm

Venue: Virtual event

A previous market engagement event was held in March 2020, this event will offer a further opportunity to engage with the market and provide potential providers with up-to-date information about the services.

The Pathway will include the following types of accommodation-based provision:

• Intensive & Long-Term Support Provision (Multiple Disadvantage)

The Council currently commissions supported housing for adults in a combination of high support 24-hour staffed, accommodation based setting and medium to low visiting support in dispersed properties around the borough.

Services will be remodelled to provide trauma informed support that enables homeless people with histories of abuse, rough sleeping, mental and physical health, substance abuse and criminal justice involvement to access services rapidly.

The redesigned Pathway will offer a greater range of provision types, settings and support levels that enable people to build on their assets and to develop their independent living skills. The new services will form a clear and coherent pathway in which the goal of support is to facilitate a transition to independent living. Services will be focused on preventing repeat homelessness, building skills and resilience and improving health and wellbeing outcomes so that people can live fulfilling, healthy and independent lives.

The services will contribute to the delivery of the Council's Homelessness and Rough Sleeping (2018) strategies by helping to prevent and relieve homelessness, reduce the use of temporary accommodation and provide rapid exit from street homelessness for those in need.

It is anticipated that the contracts will start in March 2022 and shall run for an initial term of 4 years with option to extend for a further 3 years (7 years total).
