Housing Related Support Contracts

The request was partially successful.

Dear Orkney Islands Council,

I would like to request further information about the Council's Housing Related Support services.

Could the Council provide details of individual contracted services they have for Housing Related Support (including accommodation based, floating support, rough sleeper and Housing First services)

For each individual contract over £100,000 per annum, could the Council please provide the following information:

• Contract name
• Contract start and end date
• Contract value (please indicate total or annual)
• The current contract provider
• Owner of the building the contract is delivered from
• The client group (please include contracts for single homeless, families, young people and rough sleepers)
• Number of clients supported under the contract
• Whether there is an intention to extend or reprocure the contract
• Lead commissioner name and contact details

Yours faithfully,

A Hare
