This tender is classified under health and social work services and is being conducted through an open procedure, with a total value of £3,000,000. The tender period is set to conclude on 16 August 2018, and the contract is expected to commence on 5 November 2018, lasting until 4 November 2020. The services may be supplied in London and potentially across various locations in the UK, depending on service provider availability. The tender consists of three lots, offering different levels of accommodation and support. This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in social work services, both with and without accommodation. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) will find this tender advantageous, particularly those with experience in high, medium, or low support units, as well as outreach support. Companies looking to expand into the social services sector, particularly those with a framework to provide flexible hourly support, are particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. ## Notice The required service is Semi-Independent Accommodation and Support provision for 16-25 year old Looked After Children and Care Leavers for the London Borough of Lewisham and Royal Borough of Greenwich. This will be delivered through a Preferred Provider Framework (PPF) structured around three lots: Lot One - Accommodation Plus Support: This lot is for accommodation that is fully compliant with all statutory regulations and health and safety checks, with support in; o High support units: 24 hour staffed units that are shared or standalone; and/or o Medium support units: partially staffed units that are shared or standalone; and/or o Low support units: unstaffed shared or standalone units with outreach included. Lot Two - Accommodation only. This lot is for accommodation that is fully compliant with all statutory regulations and health and safety checks. Lot Three - Outreach support (no provision of accommodation). This lot is for the provision of outreach support. It is open to Service Providers that do not provide accommodation, or are only willing to provide support. This will be a PPF spot-purchase framework for hourly support, quoted for in blocks of 5, 10 and 15 hours and/or at an hourly rate. While the preference for Lewisham and Greenwich will always be to place in or near to our boroughs, we do have need for semi-independence accommodation and support across the country. Providers should identify their operational areas. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5786e7ba-eecf-40c4-b8f9-6f0237040a9b | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Jul 2018 | | Submission deadline | 16 Aug 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 5 Nov 2018 - 4 Nov 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £3,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Cancelled | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LONDON BOROUGH OF LEWISHAM | | Locality | CATFORD | | Post town | South East London | | Postcode | SE6 4RU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI44 Lewisham and Southwark | | Local authority | Lewisham | | Electoral ward | Rushey Green | | Westminster constituency | Lewisham East | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 85311000 - Social work services with accommodation - 85312000 - Social work services without accommodation ## Release History - 12 Jul 2018 at 14:56 - TenderCancellation - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5786e7ba-eecf-40c4-b8f9-6f0237040a9b - 12 Jul 2018 at 14:42 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8d01e6fd-40c8-4058-a678-11b0717cd73b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5786e7ba-eecf-40c4-b8f9-6f0237040a9b 12th July 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8d01e6fd-40c8-4058-a678-11b0717cd73b 12th July 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.lewisham.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
