Notice Information

Notice Title

Rough Sleeping Initiative 22/23: Spot Purchase Fund

Notice Description

The WMCA, through the work of the Homelessness Taskforce, is in the process of securing funding from the Rough Sleeping Initiative (year 5 22- 25), for the region. This funding, to be finally confirmed, for the WMCA from the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) is in addition and adds value to any funds allocated to individual Local Authorities. The WMCA will liaise with partner Local Authorities to ensure relevance and strategic fit of services commissioned. The WMCA is seeking submissions from relevant organisations to deliver outcomes through the RSI Fund 2022-25 in the financial year 2022-23. This is being done through a single tender process. Organisations who have previously had investment may tender for this opportunity in 2022-23. We also encourage submissions from those who have not previously had this investment. Bids for the Spot Purchase Fund are being limited to PS7,500.00 (+ VAT if applicable) in order to assure a spread of provision and outcome and there is a total of PS60,000.00 (+ VAT if applicable) available. The WMCA is seeking bids that are outcome focused and the Spot Purchase Fund is available to organisations to enable individual solutions for people at risk of sleeping rough, those currently rough sleeping or to sustain recent transitions away from sleeping rough. The investment should be used to promote flexible, personal planning and delivery to ensure rough sleeping is prevented wherever possible, so it is rare, and where it occurs it is brief and non-recurring. The contract for this project will be based on the Memorandum of Understanding document provided and bids are being assessed on the evaluation criteria outlined in the Specification document. Only those organisations that respond satisfactorily to the Standard Selection Questionnaire will have their tenders assessed. Please note that the deadline for tender returns is 1700 on 22nd July 2022. In order to access the documents and submit a bid please do so through BravoSolution, the WMCA's e-tendering portal (https://wmca.bravosolution.co.uk). The tender reference is itt_1125, if you are not already registered on BravoSolution it is free and usually only takes a few minutes to do so.
