This project falls under the health and social work services category and is defined as an open procurement process. The tender is currently at the planning stage, with submission deadlines set for 3rd September 2018, and the contract is expected to commence on 8th October 2018, lasting until 30th September 2023. The procurement value is estimated at £1,025,000 and will take place in the South West region of the United Kingdom. This initiative presents significant opportunities for organisations specializing in social services, particularly those focused on community support and women's health. Businesses with experience in delivering bespoke interventions, especially those versed in collaborating with local authorities and impact investors, would be well-suited to compete for this tender. The involvement of Bridges Fund Management as a co-commissioner indicates an innovative funding approach that could appeal to companies looking to engage in social impact work while fostering business growth through sustainable practices. ## Notice The Council is therefore seeking a Supplier to implement the licensed Pause intervention model http://www.pause.org.uk/aboutpause/model in Plymouth, so that women experiencing, or at high risk of experiencing, recurrent care proceedings will receive an offer of intensive bespoke support which has not previously been available to them through existing universal, early help or specialist services. The Council is working in collaboration with Bridges Fund Management ('Bridges') to implement Pause via a social investment funding model. Bridges is a specialist sustainable and impact fund manager based in the UK http://www.bridgesfundmanagement.com/. The Council and Bridges are acting as Co-Commissioners to procure a Supplier to deliver Pause within a contract known as a 'Social Impact Bond' (SIB). The SIB will be a tripartite contract between the Council, Bridges and the Supplier, within which Bridges will pay the service fee to the Supplier, and the Council will pay Bridges for the achievement of 2 primary outcomes: 1. Women 'pause' from pregnancy during the 18 months of the Pause programme. This outcome is considered of pivotal importance as it enables each woman to focus on herself - often for the first time in her life - and take control over her life, develop new skills and responses, and improve her wellbeing, resilience and stability. This break from pregnancy creates the space for women to pause, reflect, learn and aspire. 2. Women do not experience further care proceedings for a period of 3 years after 'enrolling' onto the Pause programme. This outcome will show that the support women have received through the Pause programme and during the follow-on 'post-Pause' period has enabled them to make sustainable life changes, creating the foundations on which they can move forward to build a more positive future and break cycles of poor long term outcomes, which can be trans-generational for some families. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/93c09565-8d58-4b4c-8785-a5158b569c96 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Aug 2018 | | Submission deadline | 3 Sep 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 7 Oct 2018 - 30 Sep 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,025,000 | | 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 | PLYMOUTH CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | PLYMOUTH | | Post town | Plymouth | | Postcode | PL6 5UF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK4 Devon | | ITL 3 | TLK41 Plymouth | | Local authority | Plymouth | | Electoral ward | Budshead | | Westminster constituency | Plymouth Moor View | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 14 Aug 2018 at 09:20 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/93c09565-8d58-4b4c-8785-a5158b569c96 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/93c09565-8d58-4b4c-8785-a5158b569c96 14th August 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.bridgesfundmanagement.com/ - http://www.pause.org.uk/aboutpause/model - http://www.plymouth.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
