Closing the Gap 2022 - 2025
Notice Description
Reading Borough Council, along with our partners from Berkshire West CCG, are completing an ITT exercise for the provision of Preventative and Support Services - a project as a whole known as Closing the Gap 2022-2025. Closing the Gap (CTG), which was previously commissioned under the Narrowing the Gap II framework, is an established programme within Reading for the commissioning of services to: tackle poverty, discrimination and disadvantage; promote wellbeing; and support thriving communities. CTG brings together funding from Public Health, Adult Social Care, Housing and Neighbourhoods and the Resources Directorate along with additional funding from the Clinical Commissioning Group to continue support for these causes and further the good work already undertaken to date. The commissioning of CTG services will allocate funding to target inequalities in the most disadvantaged groups and neighbourhoods using an outcomes-based approach.
Lot Information
Lot 1
The total envelope is PS1.13 million investment in preventive and support services. An element of this has been removed into a separate procurement for carers' services (explained below). The remainder of funds remains within this CTG outcome-based commissioning initiative. This CTG outcomes-based procurement is constrained to a maximum budget of PS980,000 per annum for the first year. The budgets for years 2 and 3 are expected to be similar but are yet to be confirmed - successful bidders will be notified within contract management meetings of any variance to budgets in good time. The Outcomes Based Procurement: Each CTG contract awarded must be of any value from PS10,000 per year up to a maximum value of PS200,000 per year.
