Description

Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council is inviting tenders from experienced organizations to provide Domestic Abuse Safe Accommodation Services, including Refuge, to support domestic abuse victims and their children with safe accommodation and support.

The service will run for four years, starting on 1/10/2025, with an option to extend for up to two additional years.

The core contract includes a minimum of 8 units in a refuge and 2 dispersed properties. The refuge is a single-sex space for women and their children, while the dispersed properties have no exclusion criteria. The services will offer specialist domestic abuse support, helping victims and their dependents stay safe, live independently, build confidence, and participate in group work and social activities to combat loneliness and isolation. Individuals will also receive support to manage their tenancy and engage in the local community. The service will assist victims and survivors in assessing move-on options and navigating positive, managed moves to long-term, settled homes with safety plans.

The service is short-term, averaging three to six months. The core contract is a block contract valued at £250,000 per annum.

In addition to the core contract, the Council seeks to establish a Single Provider Framework for non-core activities. These non-core requirements will be negotiated with the successful provider and will form part of a framework contract for additional services, subject to additional funding. There is no commitment from the Council to place orders for non-core activities. The non-core activity value can be up to 100% of the core contract value.

The total value range for all activities over the six-year contract duration is between £1,000,000 (core contract for the initial four-year term) and £3,000,000 (including core and non-core activities over six years).

Full details are available at YORtender, with the specific reference YORtender Ref 94332. Please note, it may take up to 3 hours for the notice to appear on the YORtender portal.

Framework for The Provision of Suitable Housing for Separated Young Adults 18+

Cumberland Council is looking to procure a (closed) framework for providers with the capacity, required skills and experience to deliver a service for the Provision of Suitable Housing for Separated Young Adults 18+. Separated young people are aged less than 18 years arriving in the UK unaccompanied by a parent or guardian, and who claim asylum. On entry to the UK, these young people become cared for by Cumberland Council. When a separated young person reaches the age of 18, (become a young adult), under Sections 23C-E and 24 of the Children Act, as amended by the Children Leaving Care Act 2000, Local Authorities continue to have duties and powers in respect of separated young adults. Before receiving right to remain, the young adults have no recourse to public funds and therefore cannot enter into tenancy agreements for a home. This service seeks to provide suitable accommodation for these young adults. In addition to accommodation an element of low level support will also be required to negotiate the right to remain process, and once acquired, to support the young adults to find permanent homes and access all benefit entitlements. The council proposes to enter into the framework from the 1st March 2026 with the successful tenderers. The initial framework period is from 1st March 2026 - 28th February 2029. The framework end date of 28th February 2030 is the date the framework will end if the potential 12 months extension is used. Use of this extension is at the absolute discretion of the council. Any extension will be confirmed with the successful suppliers if implemented. The highest estimated value is £1,076,400 excluding VAT. This is for the initial term and the potential 12 months extension period. The Framework is divided into three Lots: • Lot 1: Flexible Block The Authority guarantees a minimum number of beds with the ability to add/reduce that level (where there is a change in demand) upon notice. • Lot 2: Fixed Block A block contract for a specified number of beds for the life of the contract. • Lot 3: Direct Award A contract for an individual to be used in the event of an emergency, extenuating circumstances, service user choice, or in other circumstances that the Authority considers it appropriate for meeting the needs of the young adults. For further details and to access the tender documents, including the service specification, use the council's online procurement portal - The Chest - https://www.the-chest.org.uk. Registration on The Chest is free. All bids must be received electronically via The Chest by the closing date stated in the ITT. Any clarifications you have about the tender must be sent via messaging on The Chest by the closing date stated in the ITT.
