What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe Camden Respite Rooms service is a 15-bed supported short stay hostel for women who are sleeping rough or homeless with complex needs and who are unlikely to approach statutory services or the national domestic violence helpline. The service is fully funded though a grant from the Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime and the grant requires a named supplier as part of the application.
The Contracting Authority is not awarding a new contract, but is proposing a short term extension of 12 months for the services to continue. See section II2.4 for further detail.
