New 2019 NBC — Nightly Purchased, Supplier-Managed Temporary Accomodation in Northampton (Dynamic Pu

Descriptions

Northampton Borough Council is committed to tackling, preventing and reducing homelessness, and to minimising its use of bed and breakfast and out-of-borough temporary accommodation to meet the needs of homeless families. Although the Council is in the process of identifying procurement options to help meet the demand for temporary accommodation, urgent action is also being taken to move homeless households out of bed and breakfast accommodation and into suitable self-contained accommodation within the Northampton Borough or Grange Park. The Council therefore has a requirement for nightly-purchased temporary accommodation that is partly furnished and is managed and maintained by the housing supplier. All organisations wishing to provide temporary accommodation service from 1.6.2019 onwards, will need to apply to join the DPS. This includes providers that have an existing contract.
