Temporary Accommodation supports those at-risk of homelessness by providing short-term accommodation while a longer-term placement is found. Any placements made under this DPS will be made from the 10th March 2025 onwards. The maximum duration of the DPS is approx. 4 years. The DPS arrangements will expire on 23rd February 2029 12:00. The Council cannot guarantee or commit to spend year on year and is actively progressing initiatives to reduce spend, including sourcing properties for direct use. In 2023 the total amount spent on temporary accommodation providers was in excess of ?5,000,000. Over the next 4 years, anticipated spend via this DPS may be in the region of ?20,000,000. Placements with suppliers, and determination of their suitability, will be made by Housing Needs officers on the following basis (please note that points are non-exhaustive): o When the placement is required (can be immediate/same day) o Risk factors relating to the person/s to be placed (i.e. substance misuse, risk to life, capacity, age, location) o Level of accessibility required (e.g. for persons with mobility impairments) o Composition of family unit (e.g. those with children and pregnant persons will generally require self-contained accommodation) o Cost of placement, either on a per-night or per-placement basis o Acceptance of Council Purchase Order Terms & Conditions and associated payments conditions Suppliers may submit applications for admission to the DPS from 21st February 2025.
