Introduction and overview *The refugee rent deposit project will test a new model for providing rental deposits and wider tenancy sustainment support to refugees seeking to enter the UK Private Rented Sector (PRS), through a three-year pilot. *The project will be managed and delivered by a specialist delivery agency, identified at the outset of the project. This agency will be responsible for delivering the project outcomes through an agreed project plan and managing the budget. *The delivery agency will be required to report on the key performance indicators including financials to the project Steering Group, which will comprise of the key funding partners. It will also work with an externally appointed evaluator who will assist in setting up a monitoring and reporting framework, feedback loops and opportunities to identify the best practice, sharing learning and overall impact throughout the duration of the project. 2. The operational model *The main aim of the proposed pilot project is to match refugee households based in England and Wales with custodial rent deposits held by the Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS) and provide additional support to assist with tenancy sustainment. *Referrals of refugee households seeking a rental deposit will be made to the delivery agency by third party agencies, including charities, local authorities and others. The delivery agency will assess their suitability for the project on the basis of specified eligibility criteria. Successful applicants will be onboarded to the project and matched with a custodial rent deposit provided by the TDS. The deposit will be held by the TDS for the duration of the tenancy. *At the end of the tenancy, and in the event of a landlord claim against the deposit, the TDS impartial adjudication service will assist with dispute resolution. Funds that are not drawn upon at the end of the tenancy will remain within the TDS to assist further refugee households through the pilot. *The delivery agency will assist refugee tenants to access and sustain their PRS tenancies by providing limited additional support. We anticipate this will include some/all of the following: oA 'property search' service to help refugee tenants and/or third party organisations to identify suitable rental properties in the private rented sector. oLinking refugees with specialist / charitable organisations in their local area and / or support for other rental requirements (e.g. rent guarantors). oProviding wider information aimed at refugee tenants ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e2936a62-c458-4b25-98f0-2ed55440e457 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Aug 2023 | | Submission deadline | 5 Oct 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 22 Nov 2023 - 21 Nov 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £300,000 | | 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 | METROPOLITAN HOUSING TRUST LIMITED | | Locality | SOUTHGATE, LONDON | | Post town | North London | | Postcode | N14 6PW | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI5 Outer London - East and North East | | ITL 3 | TLI54 Enfield | | Local authority | Enfield | | Electoral ward | Southgate | | Westminster constituency | Southgate and Wood Green | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 22 Aug 2023 at 08:30 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e2936a62-c458-4b25-98f0-2ed55440e457 - 14 Aug 2023 at 10:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e2936a62-c458-4b25-98f0-2ed55440e457 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e2936a62-c458-4b25-98f0-2ed55440e457 22nd August 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-UK-Southgate,-London:-Other-community,-social-and-personal-services./3J73S3QZ8P Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
