## Summary

Bristol City Council has completed the tender process for the "GR/HLN/Singles and Childless Couples Flexible Level Supported Housing Framework" within the South West region of the United Kingdom. This procurement focuses on providing housing-related support for childless couples and single individuals, complementing existing services for homelessness and family accommodation pathways. The framework began on 1 October 2023 and will run until 31 March 2026, with an optional extension of up to two additional years. This open procedure under the light touch regime allows providers to join the framework at any point during its validity. The total contract value is £3,390,533 GBP, and key dates include periodic reviews of applications throughout the duration, with the Round 1 deadline having been on 11 September 2023.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), as Bristol City Council aims to attract a diverse range of service providers. The awarded suppliers include Julian House, ACH, Addiction Recovery Agency, and Places for People Living Plus Ltd. Businesses specialising in social work, supported housing, and community services are well-suited to compete and benefit from this framework, enhancing their service delivery and expanding their local footprint. The framework structure supports innovative approaches to meeting varying support needs, creating a sustainable alternative to temporary accommodation and fostering long-term partnerships with the Council.

## Notice

We are developing a supported housing framework commissioning Registered Providers to provide housing related support at units of accommodation they bring to the framework for childless couples and single people. BCC does not currently have a supported housing service for this cohort, and it is intended to complement the services we do currently commission for our homelessness pathways and supported families accommodation framework. This supported housing is a sustainable and fully funded alternative to Temporary Accommodation, which we currently procure from predominantly private landlords. The RPs will deliver the housing, and BCC will commission the RPs to deliver a housing related support service to the clients, and it is this support service that we are looking to procure. Homeless childless couples and singles present with differing levels of support need from low to high, and we would like this framework to reflect that variation by enabling flexible delivery of support according to client need. Please note this is being tendered under the light touch regime and will result in the formation of an "open framework" whereby providers can apply to join, or resubmit if unsuccessful, throughout the duration of the framework. PLEASE NOTE - The closing date on this notice is set as 11/09/2023. This was the closing date for Round 1. As this is an open framework providers are invited to apply for a place on this framework at any point. The Council will be reviewing applications periodically, the closing date for each round can be viewed on ProContract. This notice is being published a voluntary basis with the Services being exempt from Part 2 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 by virtue of Regulation 10(1)(a), but with a view to attracting as many Service Providers as possible. This Framework is valid for 2 years and 6 months, with the option to extend for a further 2 years.
