## Summary

The tender titled "Approved Provider List for Trusted Partner Process for Homeless Services in Luton" was initiated by Luton Council, located in Luton, United Kingdom. Classified under the industry category of community services (CPV code 75200000), this procurement process is at the Award stage, having been published on 25 August 2020. The procurement method utilised is a selective restricted procedure, with the tender period closing on 7 September 2020, and contracts expected to commence on 24 September 2020, lasting until 23 September 2025.

This procurement represents an excellent opportunity for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and charitable organisations, to engage in the provision of services aimed at supporting vulnerable community members, including those experiencing homelessness. Companies with expertise in social services, community outreach, and housing solutions will find this tender particularly suited to their capabilities, promoting collaboration with Luton Council to address pressing social issues, such as reducing rough sleeping in the area.

## Notice

This procurement falls under the light touch regime and will be treated in the same way as an Approved Providers List with prospective Providers applying to be on the Approved Providers List. Luton Council is committed to providing a fair and equitable procurement process for services that we commission. The council provides a range of services for vulnerable members of the community that are funded from central government grants. The charitable and voluntary sector, and in some cases the private sector, are able to provide the skills and experience to provide these services more appropriately than the council and therefore the council will want to enter into contracts with these organisations to provide the services. Luton Council Housing Department have therefore designed this Trusted Partner Process in order to maintain a transparent and competitive tender process for short term, quick turnaround, grant funding which will be open to all those successfully accepted onto the Approved Providers List. This procurement falls under the light touch regime and will be treated in the same way as an Approved Providers List with bids to be submitted for individual services which are grant funded. The Luton Housing Strategy outlines a clear commitment to reduce rough sleeping and work in partnership to tackle entrenched rough sleeping.
