    "description": "Westminster City Council (WCC) are recommissioning Housing First Services in two Lots:\n-\tLot 1 Housing First Support Service\n-\tLot 2 Housing First Violence Against Women and Girl (VAWG)\nThe service is a pivotal and strategically aligned provision at the \nheart of the WCC\u2019s Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Strategy 2024. \nThis service is a cornerstone of our ambition to prevent \nhomelessness, enhance recovery, and transform lives through a \ndynamic, tailored, and outcomes-driven approach.\nHousing First is a widely renowned homelessness intervention strategy that prioritises providing permanent housing with high quality wraparound support. Its aims are for service users to retain their tenancies and graduate from intensive floating support to independence, therefore ending recurrent cycles of homelessness. \nHousing First has been an established commissioned service in Westminster since 2017. This procurement aims to continue delivering this service primarily for clients who are currently in social tenancies through Housing First and to allow flexibility to accommodate new service users where new tenancies become available.  \nThe overarching aim of this tender is to commission an intensive floating support model for Housing First, structured into two distinct lots: one providing a specialist service for women affected by Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) to support up to 36 women, and the other delivering a generic Housing First mixed gender service supporting up to 48 service users. \nThe estimated Commencement Date of this contract is 03/02/2026. The \nestimated Service Commencement Date is 01/04/2026. The Initial \nContract Period is 3 years, with provision for extension, at WCC\u2019s discretion, for up to a further 3 years (1+1+1 years), providing a total contract period of up to 6 years (calculated from the Service Commencement Date), expiring no later than 31 March 2032.\nDuring the Contract Period the Authority may, at its sole discretion, require additional Services to be delivered by the Provider, i.e. should additional tenancies or funding opportunities become available, in excess of the existing 48 Services Users, the Provider will liaise with the Authority to agree provisions. Any increase above the 48 places will be subject to funding availability and to the Authority\u2019s governance procedures.  Any agreed scale-up of the Service would be aligned to Housing First model e.g. one extra worker per five to seven Service Users plus management support consideration. During the contract period the service may be scaled up to support an additional 10 -14 Service Users, this is subject to clause 47 of the Contract and is at the Authorities\u2019 discretion. The budget published does not include this additional capacity.\nThere will be a tender event held via Microsoft Teams \non Monday 20th October 2025. This is an excellent opportunity to \ngain insights into the tender requirements, ask questions and provide \nfeedback.",
