## Summary

Bristol City Council is currently conducting a procurement process for "Supported Family Accommodation" within the social work services sector. The open procedure, classified under the CPV code 85311000, is set to create an Open Framework for providers to deliver supported accommodation for families facing homelessness. The deadline for submitting tenders is on 20th November 2017. The procurement will involve an initial call-off contract, commencing on 1st April 2018, with a planned duration of three years. The Council is aiming to secure a minimum of 20 units of accommodation in the south of the city, which includes family hostels and dispersed flats/houses. The estimated value of this procurement is £485,000.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the social services and accommodation sectors, particularly those specialising in support services for families. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, especially if they possess experience in managing short-term support for households and securing relevant planning consents. The requirement for good quality accommodation and support to assist families in transitioning to sustainable housing presents a strategic chance for growth in this niche market.

## Notice

The Council wishes to appoint provider(s) for Supported Family Accommodation. The open framework will provide supported accommodation for families. Appointed providers will provide and manage good quality accommodation and provide short term support to households referred into the accommodation to help them recover from homelessness and move on to sustainable housing (usually to meet VII Homelessness Duty). The majority of households will have low support needs, however, some may have a range of needs including mental ill health, substance misuse and psychological trauma. Providers will also need to assist families to settle into new tenancies and make their move out of supported accommodation successful. The Council is seeking accommodation in family hostels (mainly for smaller families) and dispersed flats and houses. Providers will need to have access to suitable accommodation, including relevant planning consent. The procurement process being used for this project is that of a revised Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). The revisions are that new bidders will be periodically evaluated instead of evaluation commencing as soon as bid is submitted. Council intends to let an initial call off contracts in conjunction with letting the Open Framework. These contracts will commence on 1st April and will be for three years. The Council is seeking a minimum of 20 units in a hostel located in the south of the city. The remaining units will be dispersed accommodation with no more than 20 units in the south of the city.
