This initiative is part of the services offered by Happy To Help CIC, a social enterprise owned by NPH. The tender, classified under "Planting and maintenance services of green areas" and "Landscape gardening services", is in the active stage with an open procurement method. The tender period ends on 17th December 2020, with the contract scheduled to commence on 11th January 2021, lasting until 31st December 2023. This service will be delivered primarily in the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. This procurement presents a significant opportunity for local gardening and landscaping businesses to expand their operations and enhance their reputations. Businesses that are small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSE) are particularly well-positioned to compete for this contract. By engaging in this tender, these organisations can not only contribute to the well-being of vulnerable tenants but also secure reliable income streams through an emotionally impactful service that addresses community needs. ## Notice Happy To Help CIC (HTH) is a social enterprise that has been established for the development and delivery of additional services to vulnerable tenants living in homes managed by Northampton Partnership Homes (NPH). HTH is wholly owned by NPH who manage c11,400 properties on behalf of Northampton Borough Council . HTH has its own governing Board, the majority of whom are tenants. It is a not-for-profit Company which means that any income is re-investedinto providing services to vulnerable residents. Current HTH services include: * A foodbank * Purchases of white goods and furniture for those in crisis * Provision of a community grants fund * A paint shop selling low cost paint to the community * Provision of volunteering opportunities for tenants NPH has a number of tenants who, for a variety of reasons, find themselves unable to continue to maintain their gardens as required by their tenancy agreements. Many of these gardens have become overgrown and unusable. Recognising the need, NPH (via its social enterprise HTH) wishes to provide a gardening service to those vulnerable tenants. This will be delivered in two forms: * For those tenants unable to maintain their garden and afford to have work done, HTH will contract the work to a third party * Where tenants require the work but can afford to have this done themselves, the third party will be promoted to the tenant as a 'trusted trader'. The third party would provide the work at the same schedule of rates secured by HTH through the tender exercise With this approach we hope to secure competitively priced bids from local organisations that are keen to grow both their business and reputation for customer service. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/600760dd-0eb6-41f3-8f01-86122f59ffa3 | | 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 | 2 Dec 2020 | | Submission deadline | 17 Dec 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 11 Jan 2021 - 31 Dec 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | 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 | NORTHAMPTON PARTNERSHIP HOMES | | Locality | NORTHAMPTON | | Post town | Northampton | | Postcode | NN5 5JW | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF24 West Northamptonshire | | Local authority | West Northamptonshire | | Electoral ward | Dallington Spencer | | Westminster constituency | Northampton North | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 77 - Agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services ### Codes - 71421000 - Landscape gardening services - 77310000 - Planting and maintenance services of green areas ## Release History - 2 Dec 2020 at 11:15 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/600760dd-0eb6-41f3-8f01-86122f59ffa3 - 2 Dec 2020 at 09:42 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ac2b6cf2-aff7-415b-9e27-6fb2f41fce04 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/600760dd-0eb6-41f3-8f01-86122f59ffa3 2nd December 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ac2b6cf2-aff7-415b-9e27-6fb2f41fce04 2nd December 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=a36313b0-d0e2-ea11-8104-005056b64545 Link to register and access ITT documents ## Notice URLs - https://www.nph.org.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
