## Summary

Derbyshire County Council is currently seeking tenders for the "SSD 19 03 Independent Living Service," aimed at providing community-based housing support services for individuals aged 55 and over. This procurement is classified under health and social work services, and the tender process is at the active stage, with a submission deadline set for 15 April 2019. The total budget for this project is £1,600,000, and it is intended to be executed within the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, facilitating broad participation from interested suppliers.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in health and social care services, as well as small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies experienced in delivering low-level housing support and services that enable vulnerable populations to live independently will find this tender well-suited to their expertise. Engaging with this opportunity allows businesses to contribute positively to community welfare while expanding their operational scope within the public sector.

## Notice

Derbyshire County Council are inviting tenders from organisations experienced in the provision of community based housing related support services to people aged 55 and over. The provision is currently known as the Older People's Floating Support service. The existing service is delivered across Derbyshire and currently supports 3,800 people across eight areas. The service also provides an out of hours and Falls Recovery Service (FRS) response utilising the same staff, the latter attended over 3,800 incidents in 2018. Funding for the FRS element (currently PS34 per call-out but this figure is reviewed annually) is additional to the housing related support service budget (see Specification for more detail). We intend to re-procure the service in 2019 with a more outcomes focused approach and rebranded as the Independent Living Service (ILS). We also wish to engage with providers on the delivery of the service. The service will provide low level housing related support to enable vulnerable people to develop the skills needed to gain and maintain a tenancy, and live independently in the community.
