This procurement process, classified under the Health and Social Work Services industry (CPV code: 85000000), aims to provide essential support for Afghan families temporarily housed in local authority hotels as they transition to permanent accommodation. The tender was published on 11 March 2022, with a deadline for submissions set for 1 April 2022. The expected contract period for the selected organisation will run from 25 April 2022 to 24 April 2023, with a total estimated value of £300,000, allocated below the procurement threshold through an open procedure. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social care services, particularly those that are small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies capable of delivering on-site support, translation services, and assistance with local integration will be well-suited to compete. This initiative not only addresses a pressing community need but also allows successful bidders to contribute positively to the resettlement of vulnerable individuals, ultimately fostering business growth in the sector. ## Notice UPDATE JUNE 2022 Following a potential substantial change in the scope of the requirement the Council has decided not to proceed with this opportunity. Hampshire County Council, alongside the 11 District, Borough and City councils, are supporting work which is underway across the whole of Government to ensure the Afghans who stood side by side with us in conflict, their families and those at highest risk who have been evacuated, are supported as they now rebuild their lives in the UK. This includes those who assisted the UK's efforts in Afghanistan and stood up for values such democracy, women's rights and freedom of speech, rule of law; and vulnerable people, including women and girls at risk and members of minority groups at risk. We are seeking a supporting organisation, or group of organisations, to help provide necessary temporary support and assistance to families who have arrived in the UK and are accommodated temporarily in a hotel in the local authority area to help them to adjust to life in the UK, until a transfer to permanent housing and the care of another local authority is found. Support should be provided in a way that empowers individuals into independence, to build their skills and access services independently and deal with everyday issues themselves. This will involve both some on-site presence, coordinated by the provider even where other statutory and voluntary organisations are involved, but consideration should also be given to how families can be supported remotely. It is proposed to procure a single provider, or consortium of providers, to deliver services across all Hampshire Afghan hotels over a 12 month period. We welcome approaches from organisations who may be interested in working alongside Local Authority staff to support families through: * Providing meet and great services for new families, and regular onside support within the hotels * Supporting families to be ready to move into longer-term accommodation * Support families and other organisations supporting them to access appropriate translation arrangements * Support residents to access local transport themselves * Support Health and Social Care colleagues to enable families to be referred to, and access services, and share the latest Covid-19 advice and support * Support families in accessing documentation and key services, such as Biometric Residency Passes, National Insurance numbers and setting up bank accounts * Support families to access offers of donations ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2ed165b8-cab9-43c9-9ffe-a1e0615e2004 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning, Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Jun 2022 | | Submission deadline | 1 Apr 2022 | | Future notice date | 21 Feb 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 24 Apr 2022 - 24 Apr 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £300,000 | | 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 | HAMPSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | WINCHESTER | | Post town | Southampton | | Postcode | SO23 8ZB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ3 Hampshire and Isle of Wight | | ITL 3 | TLJ36 Central Hampshire | | Local authority | Winchester | | Electoral ward | St Michael | | Westminster constituency | Winchester | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 7 Jun 2022 at 10:57 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2ed165b8-cab9-43c9-9ffe-a1e0615e2004 - 11 Mar 2022 at 10:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2ed165b8-cab9-43c9-9ffe-a1e0615e2004 - 8 Feb 2022 at 11:32 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/94fb0840-bd7d-4902-b557-65461af05da1 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2ed165b8-cab9-43c9-9ffe-a1e0615e2004 7th June 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/94fb0840-bd7d-4902-b557-65461af05da1 8th February 2022 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
