The buying organisation, Centrepoint Soho, is a leading charity dedicated to supporting homeless young people across various regions in the UK, including Greater London, Yorkshire, Lancashire, and the North East. This tender aims to provide locum support for staffing shortages in frontline services and is meant to address both emergency and planned staffing needs as they arise. Interested parties should note that the future notice date is set for 25th March 2019. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the recruitment and staffing services industry, particularly those specialising in temporary personnel provision. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-suited to compete for this contract, as the buyer is keen to partner with organisations that can deliver locum workers across various geographical lots and adapt quickly to the changing needs of Centrepoint's services. Businesses that can demonstrate reliability and flexibility in providing skilled temporary staff will find this tender particularly appealing for growth and sustainability. ## Notice Centrepoint is the UK's leading charity for homeless young people. We support over 10,000 16-25 year olds into housing and employment every year. Working directly in London, Yorkshire and the North East of England, Centrepoint also partners with other organisations across the UK and gives homeless young people a voice through the Centrepoint Parliament. We conduct research and influence government policy with the overall aim of ending youth homelessness. Centrepoint provides supported accommodation to young people in a variety of services; many of which include 24-hour and weekend provision. The supplier will be expected to provide locum support for short falls in shifts due to staff sickness or because additional staff are required due to incidents in the service. The supplier may also be required to provide more long term staffing due to new roles being created, staff vacancies or short-term contracts. Due to the number of regions that Centrepoint now operate in there is the need for a consistent supplier to be responsible for the provision of locum workers in each of the following 4 geographical lots; - Greater London - Yorkshire (Bradford and Barnsley) - Lancashire (Manchester) - North East (Sunderland) The locum provision will include emergency cover at short notice and planned longer-term cover in services. The tender is for frontline services, however, there are additional parts of the organisation that occasionally require agency workers. They may also approach the successful bidder if they have a need and feel they may be able to support them. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/57b8cdfd-ecad-47cc-9a97-800ac238b78a | | Notice type | Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 4 Mar 2019 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 25 Mar 2019 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Jun 2019 - 30 Jun 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,500,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CENTREPOINT SOHO | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | East London | | Postcode | E1 8DZ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI42 Tower Hamlets | | Local authority | Tower Hamlets | | Electoral ward | Whitechapel | | Westminster constituency | Bethnal Green and Stepney | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLE Yorkshire and The Humber, TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79620000 - Supply services of personnel including temporary staff ## Release History - 4 Mar 2019 at 17:45 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/57b8cdfd-ecad-47cc-9a97-800ac238b78a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/57b8cdfd-ecad-47cc-9a97-800ac238b78a 4th March 2019 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAR156682 NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the myTenders Web Site at the link provided. ## Notice URLs - http://www.centrepoint.org.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
