Original Criteria: Curriculum Vitae of personnel that will be working on the contract New Criteria: Identification of Key skills of personnel to be actively working on the contract and how this supports delivery of the objectives of the overarching strategy
The Borough Council of Kings Lynn and West Norfolk is committed to ending homelessness, person by person. It is about to launch its new Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Strategy, which outlines the steps that the Council (and its partners) should take to work towards this aim. The Council also intends to let a contract for an Early Intervention and Prevention Support Service that will support households (who may have children) at risk of homelessness predominantly (but not exclusively) from private rented accommodation and those living with family and friends who are at risk of homelessness. This support is intended to be short term and may assist people to access settled accommodation or (where appropriate) sustain their current accommodation. This should reduce the Council's reliance on temporary accommodation and positively affect individuals' wellbeing. The service should complement existing homelessness prevention services commissioned in the borough. The services will work across King's Lynn and West Norfolk and will support people to access and maintain suitable, safe accommodation. The Council is open to creative ideas as to how the service(s) could be delivered and how you could bring any added value to these services. The tender has been split into two lots, one for a Intensive Homelessness Support Service and the other a Early Intervention and Prevention Support Service. Bids can be made for one or both lots.
