This framework, valued up to £60 million over a 4-year period starting in April 2023, seeks experienced providers to deliver various services classified under nine lots, ranging from supported accommodation to employment support for homeless households. Interested parties must submit their applications by 12 noon, 14 May 2025, via www.eastmidstenders.org. This open procedure is part of the Health and Social Work Services category and the key procurement stages currently active involve the invitation to tender, with the contract period expected to commence on 14 July 2025. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses in health and social services, particularly those specialising in support for homeless individuals and those at risk of homelessness. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are especially encouraged to apply, as the framework aims to foster diverse participation. By securing a place on this framework, businesses can expand their services and contribute to significant social impact within the community, positioning themselves as pivotal partners in addressing homelessness in Nottingham and beyond. ## Notice This is a re-opening of the Framework for 'Community Based Support and Accommodation Based Services for homeless people (and those at risk of homelessness) CPU3880', which was previously advertised on the Find A Tender Service on the 4th October 2022. As this is a re-opening of an existing framework, this process will be conducted under the Public Contract Regulations 2015 but with the flexibility provided by the Light Touch Regime (Regulation s74 to 77). Providers currently on the Framework do not need to reapply, unless they wish to tender for a Lot they are not currently on. Nottingham City Council is seeking tenders from sufficiently experienced and qualified providers to add to an existing multiple provider framework for Community Based Support (CBS)and Accommodation Based Services (ABS) for homeless people (and those at risk of homelessness). Both ABS and CBS services will include (but not limited to) the following: * Single people aged 16+ * Families * People with protected characteristics * Rough Sleepers * People from abroad * People discharged from hospital * People leaving prison * Care leavers * Survivors of domestic abuse * Individuals with specialist needs * Individuals who have/are experiencing Severe and Multiple Disadvantage (SMD) Services have been classified into Lots (detailed below), each with an additional specification outlining further detailed requirements. Providers will apply to be registered on the procurement framework against the Lot(s) of their choice. ABS and CBS Services will then be called off from the Lots with exacting details. Lot Lot Description 1 Supported Accommodation for Homeless Individuals 2 Transition Services for Homeless People from Abroad 3 Temporary Accommodation for Homeless Households 4 Homelessness Prevention and Assessment Hub 5 Outreach, Navigation and Engagement Services for Homeless Households 6 Homelessness Prevention and Resettlement Services 7 Youth Homelessness Prevention Services 8 Employment Placements and Support for Homeless Households 9 Vulnerable Renters Support Services The framework contract duration is for 4 years and commenced in April 2023. The call-off contracts made under the framework could be for longer than the framework term. The total value of the framework agreement is estimated at up to a maximum of PS60 million.
