Description

Portsmouth City Council ('the Council') is seeking a suitably qualified supplier to provide a flexible supported service to support care experienced young people leaving hostels and foster care and transferring into their own flats provided from the Council's housing stock.
       
      The Service shall provide housing-related and life skills support to care experienced young adults with the aim of developing essential living skills, resilience and increasing independence, to maintain their tenancy themselves. The service will also work with those who are on the waiting list for their flat, to develop their independence skills to ensure they have a certain level of knowledge and skills prior to moving in to a flat. The overarching aim of this service is to reduce the incidents of eviction and homelessness across the Portsmouth area through empowering tenants to learn the skills and demonstrate the behaviours to maintain their tenancy successfully.  
      
      The initial contract term will be for 4 years with possibility of extending the term by a further 2 years to a maximum total term of 6 years in increments to be agreed, subject to the agreement and performance of both parties.
      
      The estimated total contract value is IRO £66,389 per annum offering an estimated total of £285,556 over an initial 4-year term. In the event that the maximum extension opportunities (2 years) are utilised, the contract value could increase to IRO £398,334 over the 6-year maximum term.
      
      The council is using a two-stage restricted procedure for the procurement of this contract. The initial selection stage will be undertaken using the standard selection questionnaire (SQ), from which successful candidates will be shortlisted, who will then be invited to submit tenders.
      
      The deadline for submissions of this initial selection stage will be 31st October 2023 at Midday.
      
      Following evaluation of the completed SQs within the first stage of the procurement procedure, only the top four candidates who have scored the highest weighted percentage overall in relation to the quality of the answers provided for the project specific questions  (this includes bidder's responses to the project specific questions and references), will then be shortlisted and invited to the tender (second) stage. Additionally, any bidder who scores within 2% of the fourth placed bidder and meets the minimum requirements within the SQ, will also be shortlisted in the same manner.
      
      Suppliers that would like to take part in this initial selection stage, are invited to 'Express interest' upon which they will be given access to the 'call for competition' and accompanying documents through this e-tendering system.
      
      When the tender documents have been made available, involved providers will receive notification via email, and the relevant documents can be accessed from the 'My Tenders' area of this  website by selecting the 'View Details' button of this project.

Flexible Light Touch Framework Agreement for Support Worker / Navigator Services

Birmingham City Council (the "Council") wishes to establish a Light Touch Open Framework (LTOF) for the provision of Support Worker/Navigator Services. The framework will be available to the Birmingham Children’s Trust (BCT). The scope of the procurement is to establish a framework agreement with a range of providers to deliver support worker/navigator services for Birmingham citizens with multiple disadvantages; for more information see the framework specification document reference 003 P3358 Service Specification. The services will provide a person-centred approach to support and advice in relation to self-management within the systems and services provided. This includes, but is not restricted to, housing, recovery from homelessness (or risk of) and any associated support needs, recovery from substance misuse, trauma-informed support and health care advice and interventions. Some citizens may be rough sleeping, are at risk of rough sleeping or being made homeless. The framework will commence on 1st April 2026 and will be in place for a period of 6 years with the opportunity to extend for a further 2 years plus 2 years subject to funding and satisfactory performance. The scale and scope of this framework will be reviewed and potentially expanded at various stages during the term of the agreement. Contracts called-off from the framework may extend beyond the expiry date of the framework. The Procurement Process to appoint organisations to the Light Touch Open Framework will be conducted in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 as permitted by Section 9 and Schedule 1. This procedure allows for a more flexible approach to the procurement of certain social and health services to undertake a bespoke procurement process that considers elements of the Open Procedure, Framework and Open Framework procedures. The framework may reopen at various intervals linked to commissioning requirements, funding cycles and extension periods. This will enable commissioners to update the framework as necessary to respond to funding and market developments for the duration of the framework. The LTOF has been divided into the following Lots. • Lot 1: Young People aged 16-24 years • Lot 2: Adults Singles & Couples aged 25 years and over • Lot 3: Female Only aged 18 years plus Tenderers may bid for one or more or all Lots and all tenderers who meet the minimum quality criteria will be appointed to the framework. Where new Lots are introduced onto the LTOF, provision will be made for those providers that have demonstrated appropriate capability to be awarded to the LTOF to transfer to other Lots as appropriate; subject to meeting any additional criteria. This will provide efficiencies in both reduced bidding and evaluation time. This principle will be applied to new and refreshed Lots where appropriate. There are two procedures the Council can utilise to award Call-Off Contracts for the services required, Call Off With Competition or Call Off Without Competition. Additional commissioning requirements may be added during the term of the LTOF. The following services and values been identified as potential additions: - Support for people who have multiple disadvantages - Support for people with disabilities - Support for survivors of domestic abuse - Support for people requiring recovery activities - Support for families - Market development for micro companies - A specific lot for support for families There may be additional requirements. Any increase in value will be subject to the Council’s governance arrangements, market engagement and, where appropriate the re-opening of the LTOF. This may result in additional Lots being added to the LTOF.
