The tender, classified under the CPV code 50000000 for repair and maintenance services, aims to provide practical assistance to homeowners, particularly the elderly, in England. The procurement process follows an open procedure and is currently at the tender stage, with submissions due by 12:00 PM on 13th August 2021. The contract is expected to commence on 1st November 2021 and will run until 31st October 2025, with a total budget of £268,000. This opportunity presents significant business growth prospects for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in community service provision, home maintenance, and support for vulnerable individuals. Businesses that offer practical support services, alongside a commitment to fostering independence among the elderly, are particularly encouraged to participate in this tender. The successful bidder will play a vital role in enhancing the quality of life for older residents in Wigan, creating a meaningful impact in the community while expanding their operational footprint. ## Notice Wigan Council is committed to meeting the aspirations and needs of older adults to enable people to live well in their own homes and communities. A fundamental part of this is the provision of the best possible support to help people to live happy and fulfilled lives, as independently as possible. A handyperson service is a local organisation dedicated to helping people to live in safety and with dignity in their own homes. The service will work holistically to ensure that existing housing is fit for purpose and that vulnerable people, predominantly homeowners but not exclusively, are able to continue living independently as long as possible. The services will offer older people extra help with small practical jobs to make their lives easier and safer around the home and discuss the person's further aspirations or needs through a 'Healthy Home Conversation', that explores more broadly if further connections, signposting or support can be offered. The handyperson is a charged-for service using a fixed fee plus the cost of any materials used. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/813f7387-04dd-436a-92f2-c248e7931406 | | 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 | 16 Jul 2021 | | Submission deadline | 13 Aug 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Nov 2021 - 31 Oct 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £268,000 | | 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 | WIGAN COUNCIL | | Locality | WIGAN | | Post town | Wigan | | Postcode | WN1 1YN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD36 Greater Manchester North West | | Local authority | Wigan | | Electoral ward | Wigan Central | | Westminster constituency | Wigan | | 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 - 50 - Repair and maintenance services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 50000000 - Repair and maintenance services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 16 Jul 2021 at 16:28 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/813f7387-04dd-436a-92f2-c248e7931406 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/813f7387-04dd-436a-92f2-c248e7931406 16th July 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=4ff649a3-31e6-eb11-810d-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.wigan.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
