Description

Derby City Council is seeking to appoint homecare Service Providers, registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) for regulatory activity of 'personal care', to provide care and support services to adults living within Extra Care Housing (ECH) schemes. The provision is required 24 hours a day 7 days a week, and there are several distinct definitions and functions to service delivery that, to clarify, differ from regular Homecare services.  

The Service Provider(s) will be required to staff an onsite and exclusive team at each of the schemes to ensure provision of a 24/7 core wellbeing service. The Service Provider must occupy an onsite office space and be registered as a specific location with the CQC.

Residents will have access to the 24/7 Core Wellbeing Service which must be adequately staffed and available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In summary, this service consists of the following key elements:
•	Temporary unplanned care, day and night, for all Residents
•	Emergency response during the day and night for all Residents
•	Partnership working with the Housing Provider and other partners 

The Framework is split into three Lots as detailed below. Each Lot will be awarded to a single Service Provider.

Semi-Independent Supported Housing for Homeless People

The Council wishes to procure units of semi-independent supported housing for homeless people, aged 18+ For some homeless people, a hostel is not the optimal setting in which to develop independent living skills. A protracted stay in a hostel, particularly as independence develop and grows, can be counter-productive for some vulnerable people. Similarly, a hostel may not always be the appropriate environment for those residents that have fewer, or less complex presenting issues, or those that already have some degree of independent living skills, as the time spent by staff providing support can often be monopolised by those residents that present with chaotic behaviours. It is expected that the target Service User profile for this service will have fewer or less complex support needs than their peers in other homeless services. This is not to say that the target service user profile will not present with any support needs, but rather it is intended that this service will be aimed at those that may have already spent time in more intensive supported housing but who no longer require that level of support; or that they may have previously held a tenancy. The service will be expected to deliver housing-related support that is designed to maximise a person's ability to live independently and will cover aspects such as Physical/Mental Health, Finance & Budgeting, Employment, Training or Education etc. The Council is seeking bids that propose the use of dispersed single-occupancy accommodation, rather than group living. The opportunity is lotted as follows Lot 1 - 14 Units of Semi-Independent Supported Housing for Homeless People Lot 2 - 50 Units of Semi-Independent Supported Housing for Homeless People Tenderers may respond to one or both Lots

Research Partner for Community Led: Supporting young people directly affected by interpersonal violence

London’s Violence Reduction Unit (VRU) is seeking to commission a Research Partner to collaborate on an important research project aimed at assessing the landscape of tertiary support[1] available to young Londoners impacted by interpersonal violence – both statutory and non-statutory. In recognition of the importance of embedding community voice and lived experiences throughout the research process, the VRU are commissioning both a research partner and a community partner to work in collaboration. This approach ensures the research appropriately and meaningfully reflects the experiences of those it aims to serve and that research findings will be relevant and informed. The community partner contract has been awarded to Wipers Youth CIC after a competitive tender process. Wipers Youth are a social enterprise which provides youth provision for young people, with specialism in working with disenfranchised and marginalised young people. Their range of services includes Specialist Mentoring, Workshops & Programmes, Employability, Youth Voice & Policy. Their tertiary support focuses on young people transitioning away from offending or at risk of re-engagement due to community tensions, unstable housing or peer associations.  Referrals come through local Probation, Youth Justice Services, safeguarding and community partners and their delivery spans across multiple boroughs including Westminster, Southwark, Tower Hamlets, Hackney, Islington, Camden, Newham, Ealing and others.  We are seeking to commission a research partner who understands the nuances of the criminal justice system and existing services aimed at supporting young people who are most impacted by interpersonal violence, and who genuinely understand the lived experiences of young people most impacted by violence. The researcher must take a trauma-informed and culturally competent approach, ensuring the research is non-extractive and supports the young people involved. This project will involve two core elements: Building a London-specific Evidence Base for Tertiary Provision: Development of a London-specific evidence base to improve the effectiveness of services and organisations in engaging those most at risk of violence. This includes a needs assessment of tertiary provision in London, a review of the existing literature, gathering insights young people who have experienced the support systems (statutory and non-statutory). Systems change: Facilitating learning and developing recommendations for statutory services and commissioners relating to improving provision and engagement for youth at risk of interpersonal violence in London. In close collaboration with the community partner, the role of the research partner will involve: Holding the project management responsibility of the project Convening and facilitating the Systems Stakeholder Learning Group Ensure the voices of those most impacted by violence and the systemic barriers to support are embedded within the research in a trauma-informed and non-extractive way Co-design research questions, methodology and participatory research methods Conduct primary and secondary research, utilising qualitative and quantitative analysis in line with the research methodology established Co-designing research outputs that reflect community needs This collaborative commissioning approach underlines the VRU’s commitment to partnership, inclusivity, and ensuring research outcomes genuinely inform policy and commissioning decisions. The findings will help to shape more effective, responsive tertiary support services for young people affected by violence across London. We invite researcher provider(s) who are committed to producing research which aims to genuinely understand the lived experiences of young people most impacted by violence, with particular interest in researching structural inequalities and tertiary provision, to produce insightful, sensitive and actionable findings which meaningfully inform policy and practice. The value of the contract is £52,500, duration 12 months from the contract award date; estimated commencement date March 2026. 1 Tertiary support is defined by the World Health Organisation as: ‘approaches that focus on long-term care in the wake of violence, such as rehabilitation and reintegration, and attempts to lessen trauma or reduce the long-term disability associated with violence. Tertiary prevention also seeks to prevent further acts of violence’. Clarification deadline is the 12th January 2026. Clarification received after this date will not be considered. Deadline for submission of tenders is the 21th January 2026 by 1pm, tenders should only be submitted via Delta.
