Note refugees and individuals from migrant communities may fit into any of the above client groups.

Client Groups o Lot 1 - Young People aged 18-24yrs; 16-24yrs for the Youth Hub. o Lot 2 - Older Adults 25yrs plus; 18yrs plus for the Discharge to Assess (Health and Homeless) Service. o Lot 3 - Victims of Domestic Abuse; 18yrs plus; 16yrs plus for the Domestic Abuse Hub o Lot 4 - Offenders; 18yrs plus.

The desired number of providers is stated as either Single or Multiple. Where there will be multiple providers the Council will decide the number of providers.
