Guildford Borough Council awarded a contract to The Riverside Group for the management and staffing of the Guildford Homelessness Outreach & Support Team (HOST), a service providing assertive outreach to rough sleepers, support to people in HOST assessment beds, eviction prevention interventions, and resettlement support.

The contract, valued at £725,673, covers the period from 1 July 2016 to 30 June 2021 and follows the Council's agreed funding of £819,600 for the service.

The service operates primarily in and around Guildford town centre but also responds to needs across the borough and, where required, delivers resettlement support outside Surrey.

The provider is expected to follow good practice guidance from the Department of Communities and Local Government and local policies, and to work alongside the Council and other agencies.

The Council anticipated that four employees from the previous contractor, Home Group Ltd, would transfer under TUPE to the new provider.
