Notice Information

Notice Title

EOI - Provision of Support Vouchers (inc Fuel, Clothing, Food) and Voucher Management Platform.

Notice Description

This is a call for Expressions of Interest ("EOI") pertaining to a potential future procurement exercise by Together Housing Association ("THA"). Such Expression of Interest exercise pertains to the "Provision of Support Vouchers (including Fuel, Clothing, Food) and Voucher Management Platform." Interested parties should review and complete the document attached to this Notice, in advance of the close of the EOI response deadline. A brief contextual description of the Summary of Requirements is included below, with further information available in the document appended to this notice. Summary of Requirements: Together Housing operates the provision of "Support Vouchers" (including but not limited to Fuel Vouchers, Food Vouchers, Transport Vouchers, Clothing Vouchers) for Tenants and wider community members (henceforth "citizens"), to support with access to these provisions for Citizens who are in crisis need, or may otherwise be disadvantaged and/or experiencing limited access to such provisions. Such Support Voucher provision has historically been delivered through multiple agreements with individual providers, tracked centrally by THA employees in a variety of methods. Review of such provision has identified a potential opportunity for both the consolidation of the Support Voucher provision, and the modernisation of Voucher allocation tracking through a consolidated Digital platform. Together Housing are thus seeking to develop, modernise and expand upon its Support Voucher provision, through the identification and award of a single, consolidated contract for the Provision of Support Vouchers and a Consolidated Support Voucher management platform. This expression of interest has thus been developed to engage with the market, to understand both the capability of the market to meet such requirements, and to provide further information (commercial/operational/etc) as to inform any future planned procurement activity in this regard. Such Expression of Interest exercise is intended to inform Together Housing's Planned Procurement Activity, and response in no way constitutes any form of agreement or assurance from Together Housing regarding the development of its procurement process or selection of Procurement "Route to market" for this provision. Any contract arising from such procurement, if progressed, will likely be multi-year.
