Award outcome

Description

**PLEASE NOTE** This is an Award Notice and the opportunity is now closed The Department of Community and Children's Services of the City of London wishes to commission a Service Provider to provide an RSI Psychotherapy service for current and former rough sleepers The aims of the service are to help rough sleepers face past trauma, manage anxiety and begin to exercise the freedom of choice they have, while learning to take responsibility in their current situations. For 2022-25, the City, London Borough of Tower Hamlets and London Borough of Hackney have developed a new partnership to commission a tri-borough service of three Psychotherapists (including a women's specialist worker) and a Service Manager. The Service Manager will be responsible for developing and sharing this new accessible and flexible model, which challenges the norm of psychotherapy services and operates without the barriers many such services face. The numbers of individuals who will benefit from the tri-borough psychotherapy service over the three-year period across all three boroughs are: 2023: 180 2024: 220 2025: 260 There will be an expectation that the service will contribute to the decrease in Rough Sleeper numbers in each of the authority areas over the next 3 years, whilst continuing to support those that come off the streets to maintain their accommodation and not return to the streets. The duration of the contract is 36 months, subject to the right of the City (at its sole discretion) to exercise its right to extend the contract by up to 24 months. The maximum length of the contract is therefore 50 months subject to performance and funding availability.
