They also provide recommendations for housing application reviews on medical grounds. The services are required in order to seek recommendations from medical professionals, who are not involved in the initial assessment of housing applications. This enables the Council to have a better understanding of the nature of a housing applicant's medical condition and how this medical condition affects their current housing circumstances. Additionally, it assists in determining the type of housing that would be suitable for households in need. There is also provision for a second opinion which would be required for those cases where a client challenges the initial medical recommendation. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f2e6ae23-87f1-48c8-b214-c7047ec6a384 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Competitive quotation (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Oct 2024 | | Submission deadline | 4 Nov 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Feb 2025 - 30 Apr 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £208,000 | | 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 | LONDON BOROUGH OF BRENT | | Locality | WEMBLEY | | Post town | Harrow | | Postcode | HA9 0FJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI7 Outer London - West and North West | | ITL 3 | TLI72 Brent | | Local authority | Brent | | Electoral ward | Wembley Park | | Westminster constituency | Brent West | | 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 ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 28 Oct 2024 at 10:33 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f2e6ae23-87f1-48c8-b214-c7047ec6a384 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f2e6ae23-87f1-48c8-b214-c7047ec6a384 28th October 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=e97505e5-4f86-ef11-8130-005056b64545&p=2241eb95-058a-e511-80f7-000c29c9ba21 Link to the opportunity ## Notice URLs - http://www.brent.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
