No First Night Out

Lewisham Council (the Council) invites you to submit a Tender for No First Night Out, a DCLG funded early-intervention homelessness prevention service to cover the boroughs of Lewisham, Bexley, Bromley and Greenwich. The SE London No First Night Out Shared Accommodation Scheme will prevent single people, over the age of 18 who are homeless or at risk of homelessness in SE London from spending a single night on the street through multiagency early identification and the provision of accommodation supplemented by support around key issues for tenancy sustainment.

By up streaming prevention activity the scheme will address future rises in rough sleeping and increase the capacity of outreach services and supported accommodation pathways to deal with current levels of demand. The contract will commence in January 2018, for a for two year period, with an option to extend for an additional year. Tenders above £145,000 per annum will not be considered.
