Purpose:

In Barnet, supported accommodation services are offered to young people aged 16 – 21, who live within the boundaries of the London Borough of Barnet and meet the eligibility criteria of either being homeless or at risk of being homeless. 

 

The purpose of commissioning supported accommodation services is to provide young people who are vulnerable to homelessness with secure accommodation whilst supporting them to live independently and help them with their personal, social and educational development into adulthood.

 

 

A Part B one-stage open procurement process was undertaken to award contract for the provision of supported accommodation. In total, five tender submissions were recorded on the e-portal, www.barnetsourcing.co.uk.

 

As part of a comprehensive tendering exercise, all five submissions were evaluated and ranked in accordance to their scores for quality and price. The highest ranking was awarded the contract.

 

This report seeks approval to award the highest scoring provider CentrePoint the contract for supported accommodation for young people aged, 16-21 (Lot 1) for the period of three years from 1 April 2015, with the option to extend two further times for a period of one year each time.
