GCC013 - Gloucestershire Rough Sleeper Needs Assessment Specification

2026-11-03

This is a restricted procurement for selected bidders only. Please do not try to express an interest unless you are invited to tender via email from Hannah Locke at G.C.C. We have used this UK4 notice for transparency purposes only. The Gloucestershire Housing Partnership (district councils, public health, County Council NHS, Police, Probation, VCSE, and commissioned providers) seek a robust, insight-led assessment that improves outcomes for people who sleep rough. The work will inform local implementation of the national Rough Sleeping Strategy and local Homelessness and Rough Sleeping strategies, and provide a clear evidence base for commissioning over the next 3 years. Critically, this work must not duplicate existing or planned assessments: Supported Housing Needs Assessment, Adult Social Care Needs Assessment, Housing Economic Needs Assessment and Housing Commission work. Instead, it should drill down on the specific experiences, trajectories and needs of people who sleep rough and the effectiveness of the rough sleeping pathway (including outreach, verification, access to health and substance use support, emergency access, assessment hubs, supported moves, Housing First, and move-on).
