This procurement, classified under housing services and valued at £756,600, invites tenders through an open procedure. The tender focuses on two primary services: Intensive Homelessness Support Service and Early Intervention and Prevention Support Service. The Council has amended one of the evaluation criteria for Lot 2 to focus on the identification of key skills of personnel and their alignment with the Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Strategy. The services will operate across the East of England, specifically in King's Lynn and West Norfolk, and will support individuals in maintaining or securing accommodation. The tender process is active, with a closing date for submissions on 25 November 2024, and the contract period extends from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2028. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in housing and homelessness support services. SMEs and VCSEs are particularly encouraged to apply, given the procurement's suitability criteria. The Council is open to innovative approaches and added value proposals, making this an excellent opportunity for organisations with creative solutions to support at-risk households. Potential bidders can enhance their portfolio, contribute to the local community, and secure long-term contracts by providing impactful services aimed at reducing homelessness. This tender is an ideal opportunity for firms experienced in delivering preventive and intervention-based support services to collaborate with the Council and make a meaningful difference. ## Notice Text to be corrected in the original notice: Place of text to be modified: II.2.5) Instead of: Quality criterion - Name: Curriculum Vitae of personnel that will be actively working on the contract / Weighting: 10 Read: Quality criterion - Name: Identification of Key skills of personnel to be actively working on the contract and how this supports delivery of the objectives of the Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Strategy/ Weighting: 10 Other additional information: The Council has amended one of the evaluation criteria in relation to Lot 2.

Original Criteria: Curriculum Vitae of personnel that will be working on the contract New Criteria: Identification of Key skills of personnel to be actively working on the contract and how this supports delivery of the objectives of the overarching strategy The Borough Council of Kings Lynn and West Norfolk is committed to ending homelessness, person by person. It is about to launch its new Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Strategy, which outlines the steps that the Council (and its partners) should take to work towards this aim. The Council also intends to let a contract for an Early Intervention and Prevention Support Service that will support households (who may have children) at risk of homelessness predominantly (but not exclusively) from private rented accommodation and those living with family and friends who are at risk of homelessness. This support is intended to be short term and may assist people to access settled accommodation or (where appropriate) sustain their current accommodation. This should reduce the Council's reliance on temporary accommodation and positively affect individuals' wellbeing. The service should complement existing homelessness prevention services commissioned in the borough. The services will work across King's Lynn and West Norfolk and will support people to access and maintain suitable, safe accommodation. The Council is open to creative ideas as to how the service(s) could be delivered and how you could bring any added value to these services. The tender has been split into two lots, one for a Intensive Homelessness Support Service and the other a Early Intervention and Prevention Support Service. Bids can be made for one or both lots. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/18a9b9be-a737-4e2b-b3c9-e651848a4051 | | 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 | 24 Oct 2024 | | Submission deadline | 25 Nov 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2025 - 31 Mar 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £756,600 | | 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 | BOROUGH COUNCIL OF KING'S LYNN & WEST NORFOLK | | Locality | KING'S LYNN | | Post town | Peterborough | | Postcode | PE30 1EX | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH5 Norfolk | | ITL 3 | TLH52 North and West Norfolk | | Local authority | King's Lynn and West Norfolk | | Electoral ward | St. Margaret's with St. Nicholas | | Westminster constituency | North West Norfolk | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 70 - Real estate services ### Codes - 70333000 - Housing services ## Release History - 24 Oct 2024 at 15:15 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/18a9b9be-a737-4e2b-b3c9-e651848a4051 - 21 Oct 2024 at 09:05 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/18a9b9be-a737-4e2b-b3c9-e651848a4051 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/18a9b9be-a737-4e2b-b3c9-e651848a4051 24th October 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-UK-King's-Lynn:-Housing-services./PD495V73SC Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
