The contract, with a maximum budget of £25,000, spans from 31st October 2022 to 31st December 2022, extendable for up to three months. The closing date for Quotes submission is 14:00Hrs on 17th October 2022. The procurement falls under the Research and Development services category. This tender opportunity presents a chance for SMEs and VCSEs to engage in a project that involves research, development consultancy, and administrative housing services. Businesses that specialise in these areas, especially those with experience in social housing or housing needs assessments, are well-suited to bid for this contract. The open procurement method allows for fair competition, offering growth opportunities for eligible suppliers looking to contribute to addressing housing challenges in the Isle of Wight. ## Notice The Isle of Wight Council ("the Authority") invites Quotes from suitably qualified suppliers ("Potential Suppliers") for the provision of a RightSize project on the Isle of Wight. Residents over the age of 65 account for 40% of 'under-occupied' homes, compared to those residents who are under the age of 35, who account for just 4% of under-occupied rented properties. A property is considered to be 'under-occupied' if it has a single tenant or a couple living in a three-bedroom house. There are a significant number of households (2501) currently identified as having a housing need on the Isle of Wight (IoW). This has been exacerbated due to factors associated to the Covid 19 pandemic, which has reportedly led to an 82% reduction in Private Rented Sector accommodation being available. To manage this increasing need it is vital to ensure housing stock is used effectively and efficiently. The creation of this project follows analysis of under and over occupation of social rented properties on the IOW whereby it has emerged many households are not appropriately matched to the right sized properties in accordance to household need. The Authority wishes to commission a supplier to undertake this project to ensure maximisation of social housing units is achieved to help the Isle of Wight address the shortage of such units. Through this project we plan to identify households looking to RightSize and understand the support needed to achieve this.

There is a maximum budget of PS25,000 available for this contract. Tenders submitted over this value will be rejected. The closing date for receipt of Quotes is 14:00Hrs on 17 October 2022. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8e8bd4d3-5390-4fa9-9ece-114aa4c59d72 | | 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 | 3 Oct 2022 | | Submission deadline | 17 Oct 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Oct 2022 - 31 Dec 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £25,000 | | 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 | ISLE OF WIGHT COUNCIL | | Locality | NEWPORT | | Post town | Portsmouth | | Postcode | PO30 1UD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ3 Hampshire and Isle of Wight | | ITL 3 | TLJ34 Isle of Wight | | Local authority | Isle of Wight | | Electoral ward | Newport Central | | Westminster constituency | Isle of Wight 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 - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services - 73300000 - Design and execution of research and development - 75123000 - Administrative housing services ## Release History - 3 Oct 2022 at 15:49 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8e8bd4d3-5390-4fa9-9ece-114aa4c59d72 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8e8bd4d3-5390-4fa9-9ece-114aa4c59d72 3rd October 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=552d4570-3243-ed11-811a-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.iwight.com - https://www.insidehousing.co.uk/comment/comment/right-sizing-could-be-the-answer-to-the-housing-crisis-76439 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
