  Procurement strategy for the Camden rough sleeping outreach service (formerly Routes Off the Streets

  

  Report of the Cabinet Member for Safer Communities

   

  This report sets out a proposed approach to the recommissioning of the Camden Outreach Service currently known as Routes Off the Street (RTS) service. The outreach services are Camden’s core delivery supporting people rough sleeping within the borough. The service is delivered through a multi-disciplinary hub and assertive outreach model and works to achieve the following outcomes:

   

  1.     Support people rough sleeping to rapidly access appropriate services and sustainable accommodation solutions 

  2.     Increase the wellbeing of and minimise harms to people rough sleeping in Camden

  3.     Reduce rough sleeping across Camden

  4.     Coordinate an integrated response for people with multiple disadvantage that relieves their homelessness

   

  The current contract is due to expire on 31st March 2026 with no provision to extend further. The strategy recommends recommissioning the current model with specific changes and additions from its current specification. The contract is proposed for a duration of 72 months at the sole discretion of the Council. The estimated total value of all contracts including extension is £10,416,000.

   

  An Open procedure will be used to procure this service in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 to procure contracts for these services. The process will incorporate responses to service specific scenarios, rota and staffing structures, the approach to equality, diversity and inclusion, and lived experience involvement.

   

  The report is being submitted to the Cabinet in line with Contract Standing Orders, which stated that the Cabinet must agree procurement strategies for contracts over £5,000,000 (CSO C4.1).
