WAYfinder will support people face to face, on the street, in their accommodation or their community This Service has been designed as part of 'All in For Glasgow'. The 'All in For Glasgow' design team is made up of people with experience of homelessness, third and independent sector service providers, and Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership. The WAYfinder name was suggested following an 'All in for Glasgow' event. A participant with lived experience observed that a support service’s main aim should be understanding the person they are supporting, and to do so should simply ask ‘Who Are You (WAY)?’ The General WAYfinder Provision will: - Employ the principal of the ‘sticky’ support team. This team of named workers will support people through their entire homeless journey - Help to join up the commissioned, community and statutory service interactions, to deliver a whole-system response - Adopt a Trauma & Psychologically Informed Environment (PIE) approach to support - Embody the no wrong door approach and people will be able to access the service at any stage of their homeless journey - Support people face to face, on the street, in their accommodation or their community This contract is being tendered under the Light Touch Regime Schedule 3 to the Public (Contract) Scotland Regulations 2015. The contract length will be 4 years with an option to extend for a further 2 years. The service will have 6 lots, lots 1-4 will be single supplier awarded block contracts. Lot 5 will be cost and volume. In Lot 6 bidders were invited to join a Lot of approved WAYfinder suppliers. This lot will be used for any additional funding or new requirements that cannot be met through a modification of Lots 1-5.
