Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Oxfordshire County Council is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for "Market Engagement - Recommissioning Services for Adults who are, or are at risk of Homelessness". The engagement session is scheduled for 31st March 2021, from 10 am to 12 pm, via Microsoft Teams, with the deadline for confirming attendance set for 30th March 2021. This initiative falls under the social work services industry category, focusing on providing comprehensive support to homeless individuals, with an overall budget of approximately £3.1 million per annum. The targeted commencement for these services is 1st April 2022, with a proposed contract length of five years and an option for a three-year extension.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in social services and housing support, particularly those with a focus on integrated care models. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as the procurement approach seeks collaborative partnerships for better service delivery. Companies with expertise in intensive case management, flexible support services, and outreach strategies for rough sleepers will find this an ideal opportunity to expand their market footprint while contributing to social impact in Oxfordshire.

Notice Title

Market Engagement - Recommissioning Services Adults who are, or are at risk of Homelessness

Notice Description

Host Oxfordshire County Council on behalf of its commissioning partners Oxford City Council, West Oxfordshire District Council, South and Vale District Council and Oxfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group When Market engagement session Wednesday 31st March 10am - 12pm Platform Microsoft Teams Please confirm attendance via the portal providing a word attachment with organisation name, contact name of attendee(s), email and telephone contact details. A Teams link will be provided in advance of the engagement session. Purpose This session is intended to provide information to the market about how the partnership of six Oxfordshire councils and the Clinical Commissioning Group intends to recommission services to support people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness including rough sleepers. Services will start 1st April 2022. The overall approximate budget is circa PS3.1m per annum. The proposed contract length is 5 years with the option to extend for up to 3 years. Summary The Crisis housing led feasibility study for Oxfordshire (Full report) completed in November 2020 concluded that if we want to put an end to rough sleeping in Oxfordshire we need to change how we commission services, what we commission, and how we work together as a housing, social care and health system that prevents and resolves homelessness. Oxfordshire will adopt a Housing Led approach to ending homelessness which aims to move people into their own homes as quickly as possible and provides them with the support they need to make it work. We are working towards an Alliance approach to commissioning and contracting where we will be looking for a group of providers to come forward, setting out how they will work with commissioning partners to deliver outcomes. The approach will require the development and deployment of flexible and interdependent working relationships, embracing the differences between existing practices and enabling truly collaborative behaviour. The overarching areas that we propose to commission include: intensive case management for Housing First; a proportion of shared / dispersed housing with a clear identity and function; with support that is flexible and responsive; specific provision e.g. gender, substance misuse; floating support - including cohorts that may require a specialist approach for example for Adults Survivors of Sexual Exploitation; outreach services to rough sleepers; stepdown houses and embedded housing workers to support discharge from hospitals.
