TRHS0001 Administration of the Shimmer Relocation Appreciation Loan Scheme

The contract will require the Tenderer to work with both the DfT and HS2 Ltd. While the DfT will perform the role of Contract Manager, delivery reports will need to be distributed to both organisations. The RAL will provide a capped loan to homeowners who cannot purchase a replacement local property independently.

Caps will apply to the loan amount and to the equity share in the replacement property, which will be confirmed at the contract award stage. RICS valuation of the applicant’s current property, and their chosen alternative property, as well as a RICS assessment of whether the alternative property is considered “local” and “comparable” will be carried out by another third party (estate agent or similar) organisation in line with the scheme’s criteria. The winning contractor will be able, and expected, to use valuations commissioned from this third party organisation when assessing RAL applications, and when administering repayments during the loan’s life. The tender response must make reference to how loan applicants will be financially assessed, including checking for interests in other properties (both here and abroad), and savings held.The Contract term will be for an initial term of 36 months, with an option to extend at the DfT’s sole discretion for 12+12 months if required.

Housing Insecurity and Hidden Homelessness

The Scottish Government is committed to preventing and ending all forms of homelessness and we want our homelessness policies to meet a broad range of needs. It is challenging to develop housing and homelessness policies and allocate the right level of resources to solve problems when we do not fully understand the range of people’s experiences and the scale of the problem. Some people may be experiencing homelessness or are at risk of homelessness – and would meet the legal definition of homelessness – but do not appear in official homelessness statistics. This type of homelessness is hidden from view.The overarching aim of this research is to reach a better understanding of those people who are homeless, at imminent risk of homelessness or who face housing insecurity but do not appear in Scotland’s official figures. This includes people who do not approach their local authority for help; people who approach their local authority but do not get a response that meets their needs; those who find alternative solutions; or those who do not see themselves as homeless. An improved understanding of the different routes into and out of homelessness will help us address gaps in provision and make Scotland’s homelessness system more responsive to people’s needs.
