## Summary

The Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council is initiating the planning phase for a tender titled "Market Engagement - Reducing Social Isolation and Cold Homes". This project is classified under the category of "Other community, social and personal services" and aims to establish a social inclusion service to support vulnerable households facing social isolation and fuel poverty. The engagement period will conclude on 9th August 2018. The service will be delivered in the Yorkshire and the Humber region of the United Kingdom, focusing on enhancing the living conditions of affected individuals through volunteer and mentor involvement.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses that specialise in community services, social care, and support for vulnerable populations. Companies that can offer innovative solutions for assessing needs and designing programmes to improve personal circumstances would be particularly well-suited to compete. Moreover, firms with experience in engaging volunteers and training individuals to provide peer support could significantly boost their competitiveness in this procurement process, thereby contributing to the overall community welfare while fostering their own growth.

## Notice

The North Area Council (part of Barnsley Metropolitan Council) is looking to establish a social inclusion service which will also address the needs of fuel poor households. The service needed will look at ways to assess the needs of socially isolated and vulnerable individuals and their home environment and will identify and implement actions that will help to improve their personal circumstances. The provision will look at ways volunteers and mentors could be used in delivery of the services alongside trained staff and incorporate the upskilling of individuals to undertake these roles to enhance the reach and sustainability of the services.
