This procurement falls under the health and social work services category, with a total contract value of £36,608. The open procedure tender is in the active stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 9th May 2017. The contract is scheduled to commence on 1st June 2017 and will run until 1st April 2018. This opportunity presents significant potential for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in housing support services. Businesses that focus on flexible accommodation solutions and personalised support plans are well-suited to compete in this procurement process. By participating, these providers can expand their service offerings and contribute to the local community's wellbeing, in line with the objectives outlined by the Care Act 2014. ## Notice The Council recently completed the allocation of Providers to a Housing Support Linked to Short Term Accommodation Framework. Due to the limited number of Providers appointed to the Framework a number of gaps in service provision may occur as of 1 April 2016. To ensure that these gaps don't result in people becoming homeless the Council is, with significantly reduced timeframes, urgently procuring this contract. These services are identical to those procured under the Framework, yet differ in that they are being procured as a block purchase arrangement. The Council's current Short Term Accommodation Support Service is designed to meet a range of housing support needs presented by young people and adults across the county. Having conducted a thorough review of Short Term Accommodation services, Cumbria County Council has concluded that there remains a need for continued provision, especially in relation to the Care Act 2014. The Act places key duties on the local authority to prevent or postpone the need for support, while focusing on the promotion of wellbeing. In response to the Care Act 2014, Service Specifications have changed to reflect an increased emphasis on: * Equitably and flexibly allocating support for Service User types across the County. * Maintaining a joined up multi-agency approach to supporting Service Users once they enter Short Term Accommodation. * Service Users completing a pathway to independent living. * Staff work hours flexibly meeting the support needs of Service Users. * Service Users having 'personalised support plans that are actively monitored, holistic in approach and focus on the achievement of outcomes. * Service Users being supported to successfully maintain a tenancy after leaving Short Term Accommodation. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/67fe34c4-0229-4ab4-a111-ce2595716be1 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 10 Apr 2017 | | Submission deadline | 9 May 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 May 2017 - 1 Apr 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £36,608 | | 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 | CUMBRIA COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | CARLISLE | | Post town | Carlisle | | Postcode | CA3 8NA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD1 Cumbria | | ITL 3 | TLD13 Cumberland | | Local authority | Cumberland | | Electoral ward | Currock | | Westminster constituency | Carlisle | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 10 Apr 2017 at 14:17 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/67fe34c4-0229-4ab4-a111-ce2595716be1 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/67fe34c4-0229-4ab4-a111-ce2595716be1 10th April 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.cumbria.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
