This includes those already homeless, those in private rented accommodation, homeowners, and travellers. The Council wishes to identify a partner organisation who will co-locate and work collaboratively with the Council’s Housing Team and wider Council services to: • Support people with housing need in Rutland through proactive and preventative interventions that lead to: o Retention of their existing home. o Successful management of their new home (e.g., tenancy). o Increased capacity to participate and contribute to society. • Collaboratively design and develop responsive, flexible services which adapt to changing need. • Identify and draw in external funding that meets needs, strengthens the service, maximises delivery, value for money and enhances Rutland’s provision for vulnerable people. The deadline for completed tender submissions to be received on the eTendering Portal is 12:00 noon on 4th November 2021. The Contract is due to commence on 1st April 2022. Please note that the Council believes that the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 do apply to this contract at its commencement.
