The total value of the contract is capped at £102,850 annually, with a focus on delivering social value in accordance with the council's procurement framework. This tender presents a valuable growth opportunity for organisations specialising in health and social work services, particularly those with a strong background in homelessness prevention and housing advice. Firms that are well-suited to compete should demonstrate experience in delivering similar services and the capability to engage with local authorities effectively.

In particular the Provider will work with Service Users to keep their Personalised Housing Plans under regular review, to assist Service Users with the completion of any other relevant paperwork or forms and to take any reasonable steps, in conjunction with Housing Services to help prevent Service Users from becoming homeless. The Provider will work closely with the Council and the service will be seen as an extension of Housing Services' work in this area. Referrals to the service will be made by Housing Services. The successful tenderer must be able to demonstrate that it has the experience and competence to deliver the service and is able to maximise outcomes for Service Users. The duration of the contract will be for an initial term of 1 year with effect from 1st April 2020 with an option to extend the contract by 1 year at a time up to a further 2 years subject to contract performance and budget availability.
