This public procurement opportunity, classified under education and training services, has a budget of £75,000 for the initial contract period of 23 months, starting from May 1, 2017, with an option for an 11-month extension. The tender will close on March 28, 2017. Services are expected to be delivered in the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) focused on health, energy efficiency, and insulation improvements. Companies that provide training services, energy auditing, and support for fuel poverty initiatives would be ideally suited to participate in this tender, helping to improve living conditions and reduce social isolation among vulnerable populations in Leicestershire. ## Notice There is a substantial and growing body of evidence on the detrimental impact of fuel poverty and cold homes on the physical and mental health and wellbeing of young and older people. Health impacts caused by cold homes predominantly relate to cardiovascular and respiratory problems. Low temperatures also diminish resistance to infection and encourage damp and mould growth in the home. Cold indoor conditions have also been linked to poor mental health resulting from anxiety and stress. Social isolation can be exacerbated where the home does not present a welcoming environment and there is evidence that cold homes can reduce educational attainment. Advice and support and practical heating and insulation improvements can help address all of these problems. The principle aim of this service is to support Leicestershire Warm Homes (First Contact Plus) to reduce the numbers of people living with preventable ill health and people dying prematurely whilst reducing the gap between communities and social isolation. The service will support the Warm Homes Officer who will deliver energy advice and auditing services as part of First Contact Plus. The initial contract period will be for 23 months, with the option to extend for up to a further period(s) totalling 11 months. The annual budget for provision of this service is PS25,000 per annum. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/55832f95-9183-44bb-ae57-22778d65c8fe | | 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 | 9 Mar 2017 | | Submission deadline | 28 Mar 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Apr 2017 - 31 Mar 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £75,000 | | 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 | LEICESTERSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | LEICESTER | | Post town | Leicester | | Postcode | LE3 8RA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF22 Leicestershire CC and Rutland | | Local authority | Blaby | | Electoral ward | Glenfield Faire | | Westminster constituency | Mid Leicestershire | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services - 98300000 - Miscellaneous services ## Release History - 9 Mar 2017 at 11:27 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/55832f95-9183-44bb-ae57-22778d65c8fe - 9 Mar 2017 at 11:22 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/55832f95-9183-44bb-ae57-22778d65c8fe ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/55832f95-9183-44bb-ae57-22778d65c8fe 9th March 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - http://www.eastmidstenders.org Documents available to download from the e-tendering portal.
