    Brief

    Reading Borough Council is undertaking preliminary market engagement ahead of procuring rough sleeping and homelessness support services in early 2027. The Council is developing a new Preventing Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Strategy (2026-2031) with a vision to make homelessness rare, brief and non-recurring. The strategy recognises that homelessness is driven by multiple factors including housing affordability, health inequalities, trauma, financial hardship and social exclusion, requiring coordinated responses across housing, health, social care and community services. The Council's strategic priorities are to: intervene early to prevent homelessness, break cycles of rough sleeping, and ensure access to safe, settled and affordable housing. As part of this engagement, the Council is reviewing and redesigning its current homelessness support services to be prevention-focused, housing-led and able to support people experiencing rough sleeping, homelessness and multiple disadvantage. The Council is seeking supplier feedback on proposed service design, inter-service interfaces, delivery models and indicative funding levels. This exercise will inform the development of service specifications, procurement documents and future commissioning arrangements. This is a market engagement activity and does not constitute a formal procurement process.
