The Housing Act 1996 part 7 and the Homelessness Act 2002 set out the legal responsibilities of Local Authorities (LA) in respect of homeless households. A key duty is the requirement to provide temporary accommodation to homeless households. Emergency interim accommodation is needed to be used by the LA whilst they carry out enquiries to establish what duty is owed to the household. Homeless households can present to the LA 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year. The LA has a duty to provide access to service, including emergency accommodation, out of normal office hours. Referrals into the accommodation will be via each respective LA or the Out of Hours Team. The duration of the contract will be initially a 12 month contract from 1st July 2019 with the option to renew for a further 12 months depending upon satisfactory outcomes, sustained demand and available funding ## CPV classification Accommodation and office services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/82463dae-308c-44f3-a7d8-50cdfda15036) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
