The London Borough of Harrow is re-procuring its contact for the Domestic Abuse and Safe Accommodation Service

The London Borough of Harrow wishes to engage prospective suppliers that have the capacity and expertise to source suitable and affordable accommodation for the purpose of housing homeless applicants and provide a supportive service that helps individuals and families successfully sustain their tenancies. In addition to securing properties, the Council requires the appointed organisation to offer tenancy sustainment support for a minimum period of 12 months. This should include assistance to help residents stabilise their circumstances, maximise their income, and improve their longer-term housing prospects. Support services may include guidance with job searching, CV preparation, and connecting applicants to relevant employment or training opportunities. Any accommodation sourced should be affordable and aligned with Local Housing Allowance (LHA) rates or otherwise be financially viable for the individual households being referred. Payments to the supplier would be structured on a delivery basis, meaning that fees would be paid per successful letting rather than provided upfront. The objective of this approach is to establish a reliable pathway into sustainable PRS accommodation for households experiencing homelessness, while ensuring affordability and appropriate support mechanisms are in place.

Provision of fencing installations, maintenance, security works, welding/fabrication and associated groundworks across the London Borough of Harrow's estate (parks, open spaces, cemeteries, allotments, car parks, corporate buildings and highway boundaries). Harrow has 22 wards and approx. 261,000 residents according to 2021 census information. We are responsible for maintaining around 160-200 parks buildings (including outbuildings), 57 parks and open spaces, around 20 nature reserves, around 10 cemeteries, 34 allotment sites and 1615 roads covering 457 km of highways within the Borough boundaries. There is an ongoing requirement to support the Environmental service areas within the Culture, Environment and Economy Directorate. The types of work undertaken are varied and include all types of new fencing installation, reactive security welding repairs and maintenance, telescopic bollard installations, removal of playground equipment, and groundworks. Services are predominantly performed at Council owned Parks and Open Spaces, Car Parks and boundaries adjacent to Highways. Work volume is variable with seasonal peaks and troughs in demand or triggered by specific projects and initiatives the Council are working on. The appointed supplier/s would have the ability to react quickly in certain circumstances to secure sites that have been targeted by vandals or thieves or that may pose an urgent health and safety risk. As such this aspect of the service would suit locally based suppliers with readily available resource in the area. We are currently considering how to approach the market to ensure we can deliver the services to offer the best possible outcomes for our residents. To assist us with developing a market compatible tender we would welcome your feedback through market engagement participation.
