## Summary

The North Somerset Council is seeking a provider for its Handypersons Service, with a contract value of £400,000. The procurement process is currently in the Award stage, having published on 25 June 2018, with the anticipated contract start date on 1 October 2018. The service will run for two years, with the possibility for two additional one-year extensions. Suppliers should be prepared to deliver a variety of tasks, including small repairs and safety installations, with completion expected within 2-3 weeks of request. The deadline for tender submissions is 19 July 2018, and the service will be delivered across the South West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the repair and maintenance sectors, particularly those specialising in plumbing, electrical work, carpentry, and home security. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs) are especially suited to compete, given the emphasis on delivering flexible and transparent services tailored to community needs. The awarded provider will have the chance to collaborate closely with the Council to enhance service delivery and responsiveness to local demands.

## Notice

The Council has an existing contract for handypersons services that is due to end on the 30.9.2018, and therefore the Council is seeking to find a provider(s) for this service. The Council would welcome interest from individual provider or a collective / consortium of providers that would be interested in delivering these services. The provider will undertake a variety of jobs examples are listed below: - Small building repairs / improvements - minor plumbing / carpentry / electrical work, securing loose carpets, putting up curtain rails, shelves, - Safety measures - fitting key safes, smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors, grab rails, clearing and cleaning paths, - Home security - door and window locks, door chains and door viewers, - Energy efficiency checks - installing draught excluders, radiator heat reflectors and energy efficient light bulbs, - Other jobs: Moving furniture, installing standalone telecare, signposting to other care and support services as required. The jobs should take no more than 2-3 hours. The expectation is that jobs would be completed within 2-3 weeks of the initial request. There will also be a small amount of urgent hospital discharge work which will need to be completed to a tighter timescale. The provider should have systems in place to receive referrals from the general public and organisations working with the community, as well as receiving referrals directly from the Council. It is important that the cost of the service is easily understood and transparent to members of the public who may use the service. The Council are looking for a flexible, innovative service, which can meet the diverse needs of the community. The service will be for a two years with a possibility of two one year extensions. The Council will work closely with the successful provider(s) to shape and promote the handypersons provision. The Handypersons service is currently delivered to the Council via an existing provider, therefore TUPE may be applicable to one or more posts.Bidder Day: 12/07/2018 (8am-1pm); Town Hall, Weston-super-Mare
