Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Peterborough City Council is initiating a soft market testing process for the provision of floating support services aimed at approximately 240 former rough sleepers. This procurement falls within the health and social work services industry category, specifically focusing on guidance and counselling services. The tender period is set to conclude on 6 April 2021, and the contract is expected to commence on 30 April 2021, lasting until 3 May 2021. The indicative budget for this service is estimated at up to £350,000 for a duration of 12 months, although actual funding will depend on annual allocations from the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG).

This tender presents a significant opportunity for growth for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in providing outreach and support services. Businesses with expertise in welfare services, particularly those that can effectively engage and assist individuals transitioning from temporary accommodation to settled housing, would be well-suited to participate. This process will allow service providers to influence the design of service specifications by contributing feedback through the soft market testing questionnaire.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Soft Market Testing for Provision of Floating Support Services for c.240 former Rough Sleepers

Notice Description

Peterborough City Council wishes to gather information to gain a better understanding from the market, to inform consideration for future planning regarding short term and targeted support to former rough sleepers who are being housed in emergency and temporary accommodation settings to support them in the resettlement and transition to settled accommodation. The information gathered will enable informed decision making on how best to design this service in the future, to achieve desired outcomes and to gauge whether there is interest in the market to deliver this service for the council. The feedback gathered from this Soft Market Testing questionnaire will constitute market consultation on the delivery of rough sleeper outreach services in Peterborough. This is the opportunity for service providers to feed into the decision making process and to inform the design of service specifications. The indicative budget to provide this service is estimated to be in the region of up to PS350,000 for 12 months, however, actual funding will be dependent on the annual Rough Sleeper Initiative Grant determination allocated to Peterborough City Council by the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG). Decisions regarding contract length have yet to be decided, and duration is wholly impacted by MHCLG's allocation of funding to local authorities, which is decided and allocated to local authorities on an annual basis only. This questionnaire welcomes the views of the potential market in relation to contracting periods, in addition to wider service provision considerations and challenges.
