Opportunity overview

Exeter City Council seeks to establish a four-lot framework under the Light Touch Regime to secure accommodation and support services to meet statutory duties relating to homelessness prevention, relief, and placement; safeguarding of vulnerable adults and families; and delivery of outcome focused support. The framework will enable call offs (Mini competitions or direct awards, where permitted) across the following lots: Lot 1: Temporary Accommodation (TA) - Short-term, reactive placements, to include placements out of hours, (incl. nightly paid) for individuals/families pursuant to duties under Part 7 of the Housing Act 1996 (as Amended). Lot 2: Off the Streets Accommodation - Emergency beds and rapid access units (including respite provision) for same day placements for rough sleepers, people at immediate risk of rough sleeping and those not eligible for statutory support. Lot 3: Accommodation-based Services - Accommodation with intensive housing management function; will support tenants with pathway progression to independence. Lot 4: Floating Support - support that is not linked to any specific property; will support individuals to sustain tenancies and prevent homelessness.
