Summary of the contracting process

The North West London Clinical Commissioning Group (NWL CCG) is currently in the planning stage for the procurement of the NWL0057 Homelessness Peer Advocacy Service. This service aims to support the homeless community in North West London by facilitating access to health services, with a focus on practical assistance and empowerment. The engagement period ends on 1st March 2022, with an estimated budget of £79,000 for the initial six-month contract, which commenced on 1st October 2021. The NWL CCG is exploring options for future contract awards, potentially transitioning to an Integrated Care Board (ICB) later in 2022.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in social support services, particularly those with expertise in health and community advocacy. Enterprises that are small and medium-sized (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-positioned to compete, as the CCG emphasises building strong partnerships with stakeholders to deliver tailored support to vulnerable populations. Interested businesses should take advantage of the open invitation for expressions of interest before the engagement deadline, ensuring they can effectively meet the specific needs outlined in the procurement.

Notice Title

NWL0057 Homelessness Peer Advocacy Service

Notice Description

NWL CCG requires a homelessness peer advocacy service to serve the North West London homeless community. The provider shall offer a one-to-one engagement service for all street homeless people and homeless hostel-dwellers across the geography to enable them to make, attend and get value from health appointments. This includes: -giving people practical support (such as help with travel fares, reminders and accompaniment to appointments); -providing support in registering with a GP; -helping prepare people for appointments and, where appropriate, with understanding the content of the appointment; -explaining the roles of different professionals in the health service and enabling co-ordination of appointments; -helping individuals secure access to services; -safeguarding against individuals being disadvantaged or discriminated against because of their homelessness; and -the provider shall focus on building the skills, confidence and knowledge that will enable clients to access health services independently and appropriately. -peer advocates shall establish strong relationships with a range of stakeholders. The CCG currently has contracts in place with Groundswell to enable the continued provision of the above service. The term of this contract is 6 months, 1st October 2021 - 31st March 2022 (estimated total value: PS79,000.00), during which time, the CCG will assess the needs of the service users and consider how (if relevant) it needs to: -Secure the needs of the people who use the services; -Improve the quality of the services; and -Improve the efficiency in the provision of the services including through the services being provided in an integrated way. NWL CCG is currently of the view that the services described above are capable of being provided only by the Groundswell to service users due to it being the only charity in London that runs such a service. This has been established via discussions with the homelessness health networks in London. If it is the case that the Groundswell is the only provider capable of delivering the services described above, then the CCG will look to award a further contract to Groundswell for up to 12 months starting 1st April 2022. The purpose of this PIN is to be transparent about the CCG's intentions and to invite anyone interested in delivering the services described above to contact us by 1st March 2022. During 2022, it is anticipated that NWL CCG will be succeeded by an Integrated Care Board (ICB). Any future contract and/or procurement opportunity may therefore be in the name of the ICB.
