Provision of Off-the-Streets Direct Access Hostel Accommodation and Management

Descriptions

Bath and North East Somerset Council is testing the market to better understand what the market could provide in relation to Homeless Off-the-Streets Direct Access Hostel accommodation, that will also include housing management and support. The primary purpose of the accommodation is to provide an alternative to rough sleeping for people at risk of or already doing so.

We are currently testing the market for:

Option 1: Organisations with:

a. Premises, that they currently own, and which are suitable for use for the hostel provision within

the B&NES area; or

b. Premises suitable for the hostel provision, that they can acquire through leasing/partnership

agreement within the B&NES area; or

c. A site that can be developed into hostel premises within the B&NES area, by the supplier

organisation.

Option 2: Organisations that could:

d. Source a site/building within the B&NES area and, in partnership with the council, develop a

hostel to meet current and future needs of homeless population.

e. In the event that the council is able to secure a suitable site, work in partnership to develop and

deliver a hostel to meet current and future needs of homeless population. The organisation will

then provide support and housing management.

The Council are continuing to engage with the market and are open to any further responses to their market engagement questionnaire.

The deadline for receipt has been extended to Thursday 31st July, 12 noon.
