The procurement method is an open procedure with a value of £32,000 GBP. The tender period ends on September 2, 2022, and the contract period is from September 26, 2022, to February 6, 2023. The tender is classified under services and falls within industry categories related to social work and community services. The project is designed to create a collaborative approach with rough sleepers to shape service provision strategies and improve service delivery. This opportunity is well-suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations. Businesses that specialise in social work, community services, and service provision to vulnerable populations would be ideally positioned to compete for this tender. By participating in this tender, businesses can contribute to innovative service delivery approaches that leverage co-production principles. This tender offers businesses the chance to work closely with the City of London Corporation to support homelessness teams and services in an agile and flexible manner, ultimately enhancing service outcomes. ## Notice The RSI funding round has supported a bid to develop the co-production of services with current and former Rough Sleepers, for those based in the City of London as well as those now housed outside of the area. The City's objective is to ensure that the voice of those with lived experience contribute to the review of existing service provision and help shape our future commissioning strategies. A particular focus will be women and a better understanding of the common causes of women becoming homeless. The funding will see an initial consultation phase in 2022/23, building on the work of the City Voices research report on the impact of the Everyone In campaign during the Covid pandemic. This initial stage will provide the framework which will support the City's Rough Sleeping and Pathways team to develop a 3- year Co-production plan, which will be incorporated into the Rough Sleeping Strategy 2023-27. The outcomes of the co-production plan, once approved, will be the basis of a two -year commissioned service to bring to life the commitments agreed in the strategy. The current expectation is that this is likely to be a peer advocacy team who will ensure rough sleepers: - can better navigate key services - have their voices heard in professional and partner forums, - can work with staff to develop new commissioned services with their needs at the forefront of service delivery. However, to ensure the approach adheres to the principles of co-production, ensuring ownership and support by the homeless community, the final picture of the service may differ from initial expectations. Rather than being seen as a risk, this represents a genuine opportunity to innovate service delivery in an agile and flexible way. Current research on collaborative approaches suggests the approach improves the chances of successful service delivery, which lessens the risk of service failure. The final commissioned service will be working closely with current City homelessness teams and services, supporting a systems approach to working with homelessness. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bed67f37-b364-4f67-a9ee-b1415eb97e12 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 Aug 2022 | | Submission deadline | 2 Sep 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 25 Sep 2022 - 6 Feb 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £32,000 | | 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 | CITY OF LONDON CORPORATION | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | EC2P 2EJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI43 Haringey and Islington | | Local authority | Islington | | Electoral ward | Clerkenwell | | Westminster constituency | Islington South and Finsbury | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services - 85 - Health and social work services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 75200000 - Provision of services to the community - 85300000 - Social work and related services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 16 Aug 2022 at 09:36 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bed67f37-b364-4f67-a9ee-b1415eb97e12 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bed67f37-b364-4f67-a9ee-b1415eb97e12 16th August 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.capitalesourcing.com/web/login.shtml To bid for this opportunity, suppliers must be registered on the Capital E Sourcing online tendering portal. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
