This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses with expertise in social research, home improvement services, and service design, particularly those with a track record of working with BAME communities. SMEs are encouraged to participate, making it a prime chance for smaller enterprises to secure a contract and expand their portfolio. The contract involves developing culturally sensitive solutions and inclusive home improvements, providing invaluable exposure and operational experience in addressing the unique needs of diverse communities. Businesses focused on social impact and community development would be well-positioned to compete for this opportunity. ## Notice The Centre for Ageing Better is please to invite you to submit a tender for 'Developing culturally sensitive and inclusive Good Home Hubs'. We want everyone to be able to live in a safe, warm and well-maintained home. But we know too many people currently live in homes that are unsuitable, unsafe and could even endanger their lives. People from Black and Minority Ethnic (BAME) backgrounds, with disabilities, living in poverty and in certain parts of the country are significantly more likely to be living in a poor-quality or over-crowded home or one that does not meet their access needs. The Centre for Ageing Better's Good Home Inquiry sought to determine the causes of, and solutions to, the poor quality of so much of our housing in England. A key recommendation was to make sure that everyone has access to local delivery bodies that provide or signpost to information and advice, finance, home repairs, adaptations and energy efficiency services. We call this model a Good Home Hub. It is essential that the solutions we promote, such as the Good Home Hub, reflect the needs of at-risk communities both in terms of design and implementation. Therefore, we would like to commission an organisation (or organisations) with specific knowledge and experience of working with BAME communities to understand what are the requirements for culturally sensitive and inclusive: home improvement services that would be accessed and used by older people in BAME communities service design processes that would enable the participation of older people from BAME communities Timelines The deadline to respond to this ITT is 5pm, 14 October 2024. The deadline for clarification questions is 5pm, 16 September 2024. Responses to clarification questions will be openly published on our website for all interested parties to view on 23 September 2024. Interviews are provisionally scheduled for w/c 21 October 2024 via Zoom or Teams. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5ee91c25-229d-4d45-943c-5ff02f8c7789 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Aug 2024 | | Submission deadline | 14 Oct 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Nov 2024 - 30 Jul 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £36,666 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CENTRE FOR AGEING BETTER LIMITED | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | WC1E 7EB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI36 Camden | | Local authority | Camden | | Electoral ward | Bloomsbury | | Westminster constituency | Holborn and St Pancras | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 20 Aug 2024 at 15:33 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5ee91c25-229d-4d45-943c-5ff02f8c7789 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5ee91c25-229d-4d45-943c-5ff02f8c7789 20th August 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://ageing-better.org.uk/sites/default/files/2024-08/Good-Home-Hub-diverse-communities_ITT.pdf Deadline 14th October 2024 at 5pm ## Notice URLs - https://ageing-better.org.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
