Desirable Components of the Service:

viii. health-based support
ix Support for individuals or couples where there is no clear perpetrator

The elements which are listed as desirable components will, ideally, all be provided as part of the Services. However, it is recognised that the current budget may not be sufficient to fund the delivery of all of these components. If the Provider identifies that a Services element cannot be provided within the budget then the Provider must develop proposals and seek external funding opportunities in order to deliver them, working with commissioners and other stakeholders. Further detail can be found in the specification.
The current units of accommodation will not be transferring as part of this contract. New providers will have to as part of their implementation and mobilisation plan detailed in the method statement questions, state how they will deliver the accommodation units described in the contract from the start date of the contract.
