This tender is classified under health and social work services, falling within the broader industry category of services. The procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with a submission deadline of 2nd September 2019. The estimated contract value is £150,000, and the successful provider will commence service delivery on 1st April 2020, concluding on 31st March 2024, located in the North West region of England. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in providing social services, particularly those focused on housing support for young individuals. Companies that can demonstrate experience in flexible accommodation solutions and strong partnership approaches, as well as those offering tailored support for vulnerable youth, would be particularly well-placed to compete. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with a commitment to improving outcomes for young people are especially encouraged to engage in this tender process, leveraging the Authority's recent service review findings to align their proposals with the updated service specifications. ## Notice The Authority's current offer to young people in housing need consists of a number of separate elements; these include a Nightstop Emergency Temporary Accommodation offer, Short Term Accommodation and personalised support delivered through the Authority's Youth Homelessness and Housing Team. The Authority's current Nightstop Emergency Temporary Accommodation Service is due to end 31st March 2020. Under the Children Act 1989, the Authority has a statutory duty to provide suitable accommodation to a 16-17 year old who requests help; it also a duty to provide support in finding and keeping accommodation to formerly looked after children until they are 21 years old (or 25 if in education or training). The Authority has no statutory duty to offer housing related support to people who are not in these groups. Having conducted a thorough review of Short Term Accommodation services, Cumbria County Council has concluded that in addition to its statutory responsibilities, it will continue to offer provision to young people to whom they do not owe a statutory duty as an early prevention measure to reduce the need for support or intervention in the future. In response to the findings of the service review, the Authority has adapted the principles of the St Basil's Positive Pathway model to meet the needs of young people in Cumbria. As a result there are significant changes to the Service Specifications which now reflect an increased emphasis on: * A clear and effective referral Pathway into supported accommodation or flexible support, accessed through a single point. * A Pathway to enable young people to make the transition from requiring intensive support through to independent living. * Support, which is delivered flexibly and based on the assessment of individual needs; for example a young person might require intermittent levels of high support when they first enter the Pathway, followed by periods of reduced support. * Strong partnership working, based on the need to deliver clear outcomes, which add value to a young person's journey through the Pathway. * Enhanced Contract monitoring and Contract management arrangements. * Continuous improvement. These changes are taking place within a national context of reduced central government funding to local authorities. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8796d997-6e6a-46e7-9516-796b1b569bd1 | | 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 | 5 Aug 2019 | | Submission deadline | 2 Sep 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2020 - 31 Mar 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £150,000 | | 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 | CUMBRIA COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | CARLISLE | | Post town | Carlisle | | Postcode | CA1 1RZ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD1 Cumbria | | ITL 3 | TLD13 Cumberland | | Local authority | Cumberland | | Electoral ward | Castle | | 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 - 5 Aug 2019 at 12:20 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8796d997-6e6a-46e7-9516-796b1b569bd1 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8796d997-6e6a-46e7-9516-796b1b569bd1 5th August 2019 - 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.
