The brief

The café should be situated within the community it serves, and to ensure it becomes a community asset should not be situated within a statutory building.

It is expected that there will be a full range of services provided at The Haven by a full range of organisations through a multi-agency approach.

The Service is expected to be open from 11.00-23.00 (Monday-Friday) and 12.00-23.00 (weekends and bank holidays).

The contract is for 3 years initially (with the option to extend for a further 2 years).

The estimated maximum value of the contract will be £350,000 a year.
