A Bed Every Night Phase 5 Contract Award

Oldham Council, as part of the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA), is committed to continuing to deliver the A Bed Every Night (ABEN) initiative until 31st March 2025. Upon confirmation of funding to facilitate this a decision was taken by Oldham Council to continue contracting an external organisation to deliver the project.
Following a competitive tender process for the delivery of ABEN in Oldham, the successful tenderer was DePaul. This report therefore seeks authorisation to award the contract to DePaul.
