In June 2019 the Mayor of Greater Manchester
announced that the A Bed Every Night (ABEN) rough sleeping
initiative was to be continued, with new ABEN ‘Phase 2’
provision in place from 1st October 2019 to 30th June 2020. GMCA
have confirmed that £213,000 will be made available to Oldham
Council to deliver ABEN during this period, alongside reimbursing
£30,000 still outstanding from Phase 1.
Following a competitive tender process for the delivery of ABEN in
Oldham, the successful tenderer was DePaul with a quotation of
£185,821. This report therefore seeks authorisation to award
the contract to DePaul.
