The contract, valued at £2,100,000 GBP, is expected to start on 1 November 2023 and run for 4 years. The procurement method is an open procedure with a tender deadline of 21st August 2023. The service falls under the Health and social work services category and is located in England, United Kingdom. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses with a track record of innovative partnership working in the healthcare and social services sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are encouraged to apply. The contract is outcomes-based, with payments tied to successful outcomes at specific trigger points. Businesses that can offer tailored responses to single homeless households' needs will be well-suited to compete for this opportunity. ## Notice The London Borough of Brent (the Council) is seeking a Service Provider to deliver a Single Homeless Prevention Service (the Service) to prevent and relieve homelessness for single people and other households without dependent children, with low to moderate support needs, who currently fall below the threshold for major assistance by the Council either through the homelessness legislation or by provision of council funded supported housing. Under the Homelessness Reduction Act 2017, the Council has a statutory duty to take "reasonable steps" to prevent or relieve homelessness for anyone at risk of homelessness within 56 days, regardless of their support needs. This includes single people and couples without children. This cohort tend to have a range of low to medium vulnerabilities, ranging from issues with mental health, drug and alcohol abuse or being exoffenders. Dealing with single homeless households therefore requires a different, more tailored response than homeless families, the majority of whom have no vulnerabilities beyond the fact that are in housing need. The Council intends to commission a single organisation or consortium to deliver services; the Service will need to respond innovatively and creatively by working in partnership with service users, housing, other agencies and key stakeholders in order to meet the needs of service users and to achieve positive outcomes. As an outcomes based, payments by results service, payments will only be released based on successful outcomes, measured against three trigger points: Completion of a Personal Housing Plan (PHP), Prevention or Relief of homelessness achieved; 8 months' sustainment stage. The contract is anticipated to start on 1 November 2023 for a period of 4 years (referrals will be made by the Council in the first 3 years). We are looking for a track record of innovative partnership working, driven by the ambitious aim of preventing and relieving homelessness for single people in the borough. The chosen Provider will be able to show that it has achieved these targets by adopting a range of approaches. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e9947016-e0bb-4b74-bf2d-fbe38da25c61 | | 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 | 18 Jul 2023 | | Submission deadline | 21 Aug 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Nov 2023 - 31 Oct 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £2,100,000 | | 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 - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 18 Jul 2023 at 18:18 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e9947016-e0bb-4b74-bf2d-fbe38da25c61 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e9947016-e0bb-4b74-bf2d-fbe38da25c61 18th July 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=e27c43ed-ef23-ee11-8123-005056b64545&p=2241eb95-058a-e511-80f7-000c29c9ba21 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.brent.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
