    Brief

    Cornwall Council is seeking an independent organisation to conduct a comprehensive review of its Housing First service, which has provided support to individuals with histories of long-term rough sleeping and complex needs since 2019. The review should evaluate service performance across multiple dimensions including: outcomes achieved, tenancy sustainment rates, reasons for unsuccessful tenancies, impact on the wider community, and operational effectiveness. The review must assess alignment with established Housing First principles and fidelity standards used nationally. The successful supplier will gather and analyse both quantitative data (such as housing outcomes and tenancy statistics) and qualitative evidence (through stakeholder interviews and engagement). The review should include benchmarking against best practice examples of Housing First services across the UK. Findings and recommendations should directly inform Cornwall Council's future commissioning decisions, service improvements, and strategic planning for homelessness services.
