Following a full open tender process to award a contract to Caring for Communities and People (CCP) for the general management and staffing of the winter provision emergency accommodation for people experiencing rough sleeping, £90,000 for the period 2nd December 2024 up to 31st May 2025 with a total contract value not exceeding £180,000 over 2 years.

The contract will be issued for the period 2nd December 2024 up to 31st May 2025 with the option to extend for up to 12 months. This approach has been taken as the Council has not yet had confirmation of the continuation of the Rough Sleeper Initiative funding from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government beyond 2025.

The provision of emergency accommodation will provide an immediate solution for those people at immediate risk of or currently experiencing rough seeping in the county.
