Above Threshold Smoking Grant V3

Trafford Council is looking for a service to help roll out 'Stopping the start: The Government's Plan to Create a Smokefree Generation' . In October 2023, it was announced by Government that additional grant funding would be awarded to support local authority lead stop smoking services. The defining features of the service are: • The ability to identify and engage people who smoke and are living within Trafford. • The ability to deliver smoking cessation interventions to the population with the overall aim of reducing smoking rates. Trafford Council have already commissioned targeted projects for: • Care Leavers • Criminal Justice/Probation Service Users • Substance misuse clients • Homeless community • Unpaid carers In our third round of applications, with this funding, we are hoping to target the following population groups: • Deprived communities (targeted geographies in Trafford) • Gypsy, Irish Traveller and Roma Communities • Employers with higher smoking rates i.e. route and manual workers • Wider groups. Any other group you can show has higher smoking (or other tobacco products) rates than the general population Trafford Council is looking to target as many of these groups as possible and will look to allocate funds in a way that allows the maximum number of groups to be targeted. Procurement is being undertaken under the Light Touch Regime. Please note this tender will be restricted to VCSE organisations. This includes non-profits, charities, social enterprises, community interest companies or other organisations that prioritise social impact over profit. VCSE status of organisations will be checked as part of the evaluation process.

Framework fo Supported Living Services for Adults (Phase 1 - Building based schemes with multiple tenants)

This tender is applicable to selected Supported Living Schemes located within the boundaries of the Borough of Stockton-on-Tees. The Supported Living Provider(s) will be registered with the Care Quality Commission for the regulated service - Personal Care, as this is likely to be a required part of the majority of commissioned care and support services. Supported Living Services in Stockton-on-Tees Borough are delivered under a number of models: (Lots 1 & 2) Large Building-based schemes, (Lots 3-6 = Direct Award) schemes where the Care and Support Provider is also the owner/landlord of the Supported living scheme (and therefore holds an "exclusive right" to deliver services from the scheme), and various smaller Core and cluster schemes. This tender relates to the first two types of scheme only, with the Core and cluster schemes being programmed for a further tender, in February 2026. For the larger Building-based schemes, we are making it a Condition of Participation that bidders can demonstrate equivalent experience in delivering a scheme of a similar size and scale. If equivalent experience is not evidenced, then bids would be considered unsuitable and would be rejected and any submitted award questionnaire would be immediately disqualified. The Phase 1 (larger Supported Living Schemes) are: Acorn House - 14 tenants (Lot 1) Kirkdale House - 23 tenants (Lot 2) Phase 2, Lots 3-6 (Direct Award) Future Phase 3 - Where potential bidders are delivering smaller schemes that are not equivalent to larger building-based schemes, we would welcome bids in the February 2026 tender.
