This initiative, classified under business services, aims to create a national support framework for HIAs across England, focusing particularly on delivery efficiency for Disabled Facilities Grants (DFGs). The tender is at the 'active' stage and the deadline for submissions is 25 May 2021. The contract period is set to commence on 1 October 2021 and will extend until 31 March 2024, with a total budget value of £2,640,000. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in services related to law, consulting, training, and community support, particularly those aiming to engage with local authorities and non-profit organisations. With the emphasis on expertise in home adaptations and social care integration, companies with a proven track record in housing services, public health, or grant management are strongly encouraged to apply, as their involvement can significantly contribute to enhancing service delivery outcomes across England. ## Notice This requirement is for a new two-and-a-half-year contract for an organisation to act as a national body for HIAs on an England-wide basis. HIAs are typically locally based, non-profit services, providing around 50% of Disabled Facilities Grants (DFGs). We are seeking to ensure coverage of vital national body support to HIAs as well as all local authorities - both in the 71% of local areas in England that have HIA coverage and for local authorities that administer DFGs in house - to help drive efficiency, effectiveness and value for money in local DFG delivery. Government funding for the DFG in 2021-22 totals PS573 million. We are therefore seeking proposals from Tenderers that can demonstrate the necessary expertise and experience to: - act as a centre of expertise and central point of coordination for all local authorities and HIAs; - provide expert information, advice, training and accreditation to local authorities, HIAs and the wider home adaptations sector around their DFG delivery; - help promote the integration of housing, health and social care through sharing best practice around the inclusion of home adaptations in local strategies, commissioning and investment planning; - represent the sector, co-ordinate views and offer leadership as well as steering the sector in dealings with outside stakeholders, including Government; - maintain websites and social media, which should include a publicly available database of all HIA services available in England, e-Newsletters, e-Bulletins, e-Briefings, reports and sharing good practice guides; - gather front-line intelligence around local DFG delivery across England for Government and develop, maintain and analyse the data; and - provide insight to inform MHCLG about the home adaptations policy delivery landscape and advise on policy development around home adaptations as required.
