This is a re-opening of the Framework for ‘Community Based Support and Accommodation Based Services for homeless people (and those at risk of homelessness) CPU3880’, which was previously advertised on the Find A Tender Service on the 4th October 2022. As this is a re-opening of an existing framework, this process will be conducted under the Public Contract Regulations 2015 but with the flexibility provided by the Light Touch Regime (Regulation s74 to 77).
