About

The Council is seeking a supplier for an accommodation service available to persons rough sleeping or at risk of rough sleeping in the Watford area across the winter months to act as a targeted accommodation pathway and to respond to its duty under the Severe Weather Emergency Protocol (SWEP). The service must align with Homeless Link guidance for planning SWEP and winter provisions and aims to ensure no one is found to be rough sleeping in periods of severe weather by providing winter accommodation and support. The primary objective is to deliver accommodation services in Watford each winter that reduce rough sleeping and repeat homelessness, support service users to address health inequalities, and increase successful move-on into sustainable accommodation to prevent return to rough sleeping; refer to the Specification document for full details.
