two.1.4) Short description
The Greater Manchester Combined Authority is seeking suitable organisations to deliver a
Greater Manchester Restricted Eligibility Support Service, which will provide person-centred
and joined-up support and advice to people with restricted eligibility in Greater Manchester
who are facing, or at risk of, homelessness. Providers will also be expected to work with
GMCA to facilitate system change, supporting the improvement of mainstream
homelessness provision for people with restricted eligibility and contributing to GMCA’s
policy change priorities. The programme will be procured as two separate–but closely
interconnected– Lots:
• Lot 1: Immigration and Legal Advice. Provider(s) will deliver immigration and other legal
advice and casework to support people with restricted eligibility to regularise their status
and/or gain access to welfare benefits, where possible, in order to prevent and/or support
move-on from homelessness. Provider(s) will work collaboratively in partnership with other
support providers in the Service, to deliver a holistic offer for the client. Through training,
collection and sharing of data, good practice and intelligence, Provider(s) under this Lot will
also facilitate wider system change, to improve the accessibility and effectiveness of public
and voluntary services across Greater Manchester for people with restricted eligibility.
• Lot 2: Practical Support, Advice and Co-production. Provider(s) will deliver an integrated
and flexible support service, alongside Provider(s) in Lot 1, that helps people with restricted
eligibility to overcome practical barriers and gain access to the specialist support they mightneed. This should include a Homelessness Prevention Floating Support service, working in
communities and with other agencies to identify and support people with restricted eligibility
who are at risk of homelessness, as well as accessible support for people in ABEN
accommodation or waiting to enter. Provider(s) under this Lot will also work with people with
lived experience of restricted eligibility to develop and deliver training and advocacy aimed
at wider system and policy change.
