Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, commissioned by The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London, revolves around the Rough Sleeping Outreach Service, classified under the Health and social work services (CPV Code 85000000). This tender, currently at the Award stage, involves a modification to extend the Street Outreach Service contract originally awarded on 1st November 2020, now set to expire on 31st October 2026. The extension is crucial in ensuring the continuity of support for rough sleepers within the City of London. This limited contract expansion provides a safety net for vulnerable individuals while the service undergoes a redesign to align with new challenges and innovation in the sector. The procurement method followed is a limited award procedure, executed without prior publication of a call for competition, justified under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, Regulation 72(1)(b).

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for entities specialising in health and social work services aimed at homelessness solutions. The existing contract holder, Thames Reach Charity, exemplifies the type of organisation adept at fulfilling contract requirements. Businesses equipped with expertise in outreach services, resettlement solutions, and support programs for the homeless will find this procurement especially relevant. As the service redesign unfolds, there will likely be significant opportunities for innovative solutions enhancing the overall aim of reducing rough sleeping in the City. This service contract offers not just continuity but also a potential competitive edge for businesses poised to deliver compassionate and effective outreach services in the urban environment of London.

The Rough Sleeper Street Outreach Service will work to identify and support street homeless individuals within the City of London to engage and prepare for a resettlement pathway.

Procurement Information

Modification for 12 months in addition to the current contract under the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 72(1)(b) Negotiated without a prior call for competition New works/services, constituting a repetition of existing works/services Explanation: This VEAT notice relates to a modification to the contract originally awarded in 01/11/2020 following a competitive award process. The contracting authority considers that the modification is permitted by Regulation 72(1)(e) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 as a modification which is not substantial. The proposed extension of the contract is based otherwise on substantively the existing terms and conditions and does not render the contract materially different in character, change the economic balance of the contract or considerably extend its scope. The contracting authority does not consider that if the contract had originally been advertised to include this extension that it would have attracted any different participants or candidates or that the outcome of the original procurement would have been any different Any change of contractor at this time would be for a limited period of time due to the ongoing need for a service re-design to meet the current and future challenges and take advantage of innovations within the sector. Service re-design is ongoing but dependent on a number of unresolved factors and the conclusion of such is therefore not possible at this time. o Opportunities of a future government funding program are not yet known o A commissioned review of City Corporation rough sleeper services is not due to report back until July 2025 o Elements of the service are currently being co-produced with a host of stakeholders with lived experience of using Outreach Services With the plan being to re-tender this service in early 2026 following redesign. A change of contractor at this time would result in a full duplication of costs and resource expended by the City Corporation as it would not eliminate the necessity for this service to be re-tendered once the service re-design is complete. Updated total contract value before the modifications (taking into account possible earlier contract modifications and price adaptions and, in the case of Directive 2014/23/EU, average inflation in the Member State concerned) Value excluding VAT PS1999607.56 Total contract value after the modifications Value excluding VAT PS3134127.11
