The procurement process involves assessments/advice to be provided by a qualified provider with specialist knowledge of health conditions, housing legislation, and the council's Housing Allocation Scheme. The contract value is £480,000 GBP, with a tender deadline of 3rd June 2024. The contract period is set to begin on 8th July 2024 and end on 7th July 2028. This opportunity falls under the 'Health and social work services' industry category. This tender from Islington Council offers opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, social work, and housing-related consultancy. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise organisations (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate in this tender process. Businesses with expertise in medical assessments, housing law, and public sector service provision are well-suited to compete for this contract, which aims to support the council in fulfilling its statutory obligations related to housing needs assessment and homelessness legislation. ## Notice Islington Council invites suitable expressions of interest from suppliers for the above. The council has a statutory duty under the Housing Act 1996, the Homelessness Act 2002, and the Homelessness Reduction Act 2017 to provide services to residents of Islington based on housing need. An accurate assessment of circumstances ensures that the council fulfils its statutory obligations in assessing housing need, prevents legal challenges, enables the council to direct resources to those households where the council has a statutory duty to re-house them and ensures that limited resources are directed at those households with the greatest need. Applicants applying to the council's Housing Register, or to the council as homeless, may have medical circumstances that give a household greater priority for re-housing, or create a statutory duty to re-house a family under homelessness legislation. Therefore, part of the housing needs assessment includes an assessment of any medical circumstances and the relevance to the applicants' housing needs. Assessments/advice must be made by an appropriately qualified provider with an in-depth knowledge of the Housing Act 1996 and related legislation and the council's Housing Allocation Scheme. This requires a practitioner with specialist knowledge of health conditions (physical and mental health conditions), housing legislation, and the council's Housing Allocation Scheme. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ba72d2de-ebf3-4e76-8384-4adceb48c72d | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 May 2024 | | Submission deadline | 3 Jun 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 7 Jul 2024 - 7 Jul 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £480,000 | | 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 | ISLINGTON COUNCIL | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | North London | | Postcode | N1 2UD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI43 Haringey and Islington | | Local authority | Islington | | Electoral ward | St Mary's & St James' | | Westminster constituency | Islington South and Finsbury | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 8 May 2024 at 09:56 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ba72d2de-ebf3-4e76-8384-4adceb48c72d ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ba72d2de-ebf3-4e76-8384-4adceb48c72d 8th May 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com Supplier Expression of Interest Instructions ## Notice URLs - https://www.islington.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
