Tender: No Second Night Out Accommodation-Based Project for Rough Sleepers – London Borough of Waltham Forest

About

The London Borough of Waltham Forest is seeking a provider for the delivery of a No Second Night Out Accommodation Based Project (NSNO-ABP) to provide short-term, supported accommodation for single adults currently sleeping rough, with the aim of facilitating rapid assessment, stabilisation and transition into longer-term housing. The service must provide immediate safe supported accommodation, conduct holistic assessments within 72 hours of entry, develop personalised support and resettlement plans, facilitate access to health, social care and housing services, and support residents to transition into sustainable accommodation. The target group is adults aged 18+ who are rough sleeping, including individuals with complex needs such as mental health issues, substance misuse or offending history, and referrals will be accepted only via the Council's Rough Sleeping Coordinator through Pathway Planning meetings. Accommodation requirements specify 14 self-contained or semi-self-contained units, communal space for meals and social interaction, office space for staff and confidential meetings, and secure access with CCTV.
