Notice Title

The Provision of Housing Support Services for Single Homeless People & Childless Couples who may have Complex Needs

Notice Description

The Service to be provided by the successful tenderer is the provision of a Housing Support Service, primarily for single homeless people or childless couples who may have complex needs, residing in supported, interim accommodation at Abercorn Street in Paisley. Housing Management Services do not form part of this Contract but are required to be delivered by the Provider in conjunction with the Service to ensure its long-term sustainability, and will directly impact upon Council budgets for the provision of homeless services and the amount of government funding available to support the service. The Council looks to maximise the monies available to better assist more Service Users. The way any Provider makes formal arrangements for the lease of the Premises will directly impact upon the Council and may result in higher costs to the Council. In respect of any subsidy shortfall however, while the Council cannot mandate how a Provider arranges their commercial business, the Council seeks to maximise the funds available to it to provide appropriate services and to allow maximum recovery, by the Council from the UK Government, of Housing Benefit paid for Service Users assessed as needing Housing Support Services. Tenderers would require to arrange that they are either a Registered Social Landlord ("RSL") and enter into the occupancy arrangement (lease between themselves and the Service Users) or alternatively contract with a third party who is a RSL and that third party RSL would enter into lease arrangements with the Service Users and make separate contractual arrangements directly with the Tenderer.

The Council looks to maximise the monies available to better assist more Service Users. The way any Provider makes formal arrangements for the lease of the Premises will directly impact upon the Council and may result in higher costs to the Council. In respect of any subsidy shortfall however, while the Council cannot mandate how a Provider arranges their commercial business, the Council seeks to maximise the funds available to it to provide appropriate services and to allow maximum recovery, by the Council from the UK Government, of Housing Benefit paid for Service Users assessed as needing Housing Support Services. Tenderers would require to arrange that they are either a Registered Social Landlord (\"RSL\") and enter into the occupancy arrangement (lease between themselves and the Service Users) or alternatively contract with a third party who is a RSL and that third party RSL would enter into lease arrangements with the Service Users and make separate contractual arrangements directly with the Tenderer. More detailed information in respect of the affected Pricing for the contract is contained in the Tender Documents including the Invitation to Tender and Service Specification.. As there is a current service provider, TUPE may apply. The Contract will be for a period of 2 years with the option to extend by up to two further years subject to satisfactory operation and performance. Further information is provided in the Tender Documents including the Service Specification for this contract.",

    "description": "Full details of the exclusion and assessment criteria are detailed within the SPD and Invitation to Tender. Tenderers are required to: Complete the SPD to be concluded for the Contract. Complete a SPD by sub-contractors to be concluded for the Contract. Bidders must provide its (\"general\" yearly turnover for the last 2 financial years. The Council will use Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) to assist in its determination of the organisation's financial status and risk. The Council would expect Tenderers to have a minimum D&B Failure Score of 20%, however failure to meet this Failure Score would not necessarily merit a 'FAIL' as the D&B Failure Score is only one factor used by the Council in assessing the acceptability or otherwise of a Tenderer's financial status. The Council will take into account the Tenderer's response to the SPD Part 1V Question 4B.1.1. Further information is contained within the Tender Documents. Comply with the Service Specification; General Conditions of Contract and associated Special Conditions. Confirm if managerial staff and those delivering the service are registered with the SSSC; PVG checked. The contract may be modified in accordance with Regulation 72 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. In respect of any subsidy shortfall however, while the Council cannot mandate how Tenderers arrange their commercial business, the Council seeks to maximise the funds available to it to provide appropriate services and to allow maximum recovery, by the Council from the UK Government, of Housing Benefit paid for Service Users assessed as needing Housing Support Services. Tenderers would require to arrange that they are either a Registered Social Landlord (\"RSL\") and enter into the occupancy arrangement (lease between themselves and the Service Users) or alternatively contract with a third party who is a RSL and that third party RSL would enter into lease arrangements with the Service Users and make separate contractual arrangements directly with the Tenderer. Where the Tenderer chooses an alternative delivery model, which would reduce the subsidy recoverable by the Council in respect of the Housing Benefit paid in support of the Service Users, then the Council will add these additional costs to the tenderer price submitted to reflect the full cost to the Council.
