The procurement method is an open procedure with a total value of £802,802 in GBP. The tender period ends on January 5, 2023, with the contract period starting on April 1, 2023, and ending on March 31, 2025. The procurement is targeted at small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations based in the United Kingdom. This tender by Cornwall Council presents an opportunity for businesses to provide essential services that contribute to creating a thriving, sustainable community in Cornwall. Businesses in the health and social work services sector, as well as those offering community and social services, are well-suited to compete. The procurement process aims to address homelessness and rough sleeping concerns, promoting safety and well-being within the community through multi-agency collaboration and service provision. ## Notice The Council has a priority for a Thriving Sustainable Cornwall that offers a secure home for all - this work directly contributes to this priority by bringing people in from the streets and supporting them into more sustainable move-on accommodation. The Mental Health service supports both of these objectives. The Council has a further priority of Vibrant, Safe, Supported Communities where health starts at home. This work directly contributes to this priority in a number of ways: rough sleeping both places individuals at risk of crime but also makes communities feel less safe due to its visibility and associated or perceived behaviours (street drinking, anti-social behaviour etc). By addressing and reducing rough sleeping and by meeting the wider needs of rough sleepers, communities feel safer and individuals are supported in safer environments. In addition, there are other projects that focus on improving the health of people who sleep rough, through addressing substance misuse, supporting hospital discharge and supporting complex females around sexual abuse and sexual violence. This project links with a wide range of accommodation and support services for rough sleepers. These services links to the Council's priorities in the Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Strategy which include prevention, intervention and recovery from rough sleeping with this service forming part of a wider pathway for rough sleepers from the streets into their own tenancies. The Next Steps team who will manage and support this provision work very closely with current CHL services with all referrals going through the Rough Sleeping Team in CHL. This will adjust to the new County Wide Hub in the RSI 5 service delivery model. This Next Steps service also works in partnership with the mainstream Mental Health and Adult Social Care services, Drug and Alcohol, Safeguarding, and Domestic Abuse Services. Employment and Training and general social inclusion will also be considered, and links will be made with local Voluntary Sector organisations. This service will also be closely aligned to Community Safety within the council and the wider Criminal Justice service ensuring a critical contribution and effective multi-agency working across a vast partnership of services. The operational team link with the Rough Sleeper Operational Groups and Safer Towns as appropriate. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8a60dacd-f6b8-4434-89ee-9b716b56d6e4 | | 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 | 29 Nov 2022 | | Submission deadline | 5 Jan 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2023 - 31 Mar 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £802,802 | | 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 | CORNWALL COUNCIL | | Locality | TRURO | | Post town | Truro | | Postcode | TR1 3AY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK3 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | ITL 3 | TLK30 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | Local authority | Cornwall | | Electoral ward | Truro Boscawen & Redannick | | Westminster constituency | Truro and Falmouth | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 29 Nov 2022 at 14:40 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8a60dacd-f6b8-4434-89ee-9b716b56d6e4 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8a60dacd-f6b8-4434-89ee-9b716b56d6e4 29th November 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.cornwall.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
