Description
City of Wolverhampton Council has commissioned rough sleeper services for a number of years. Following learning from the 'Everyone In' initiative and the reduction in the numbers of people sleeping rough in Wolverhampton, proposals have been reviewed to move focus towards prevention work.
Wolverhampton has a history of strong partnership working between organisations that support the rough sleeper cohort. This joined up approach has proven to be very successful and has achieved significant outcomes for people rough sleeping or at risk of rough sleeping in the City. City of Wolverhampton Council and its partners are committed to continuing this work to ensure that no individual feels that they have no choice other than to bed down on the streets, and that anyone who does sleep rough is provided with an immediate response and the appropriate support.
The Rough Sleeper Services contract will be split into three lots as detailed below. The three lots will provide essential services to prevent and relieve rough sleeping for people sleeping rough, people at risk of rough sleeping and people with a history of rough sleeping. Partnership bids that draw on the existing successful partnership working with this cohort and demonstrate added benefits of secure information sharing within the services will be welcomed. If a partnership bid was successful, a lead organisation would be expected to sub-contract other organisations for delivery against specific lots and/or outcomes. Fast mobilisation will be mandatory for all three lots with a start date of 1st January 2023.
