The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a contract period set to commence on 16 December 2019 and running until 16 April 2020. The total budget allocated for this project is £50,000. This shelter is to be located in the South West of the United Kingdom, as there is a pressing need for additional beds for rough sleepers in Bristol, where homelessness has surged since 2013. This tender offers significant opportunities for construction and social enterprises to engage in creating vital infrastructure for the city's vulnerable population. Businesses involved in building works, maintenance services, and facilities management, particularly those with experience in health and social work services, would find this an appropriate venture. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) are especially encouraged to participate, as the project is designed to consider their involvement and ability to fulfil the service requirements effectively. ## Notice We are looking to be able to use a building for a night shelter for up to 30 residents - to be available as soon as is practicable. Rough sleeping has risen dramatically in the city since 2013, Last year the Rough Sleeper service had contact with 951 people who were street homeless. One of the most crucial steps in helping someone to find a route off the streets is to help them access a shelter. There are 80 shelter beds in the city and an additional 42 beds open during the winter but in the last snapshot count in July, there were still another 130 people sleeping on the streets. There is a clear need for more shelter beds in the city. The shelter provision would need to be able to provide accommodation space that could be only available as a night shelter (10pm - 8am) or could provide 24 hour staffing provision. Likely to be dorm style - but depends on building available. As a minimum it will need to provide: * access to toilets and basic shower facilities * simple kitchenette area for making drinks * some communal & basic storage space (eg to locate lockers ) The building needs to meet building regulations for residential use. The cost of any required building work needs to be clarified in proposal and indication of whether this will be an additional pressure on funding requirement. Dependant on existing planning consent on the building use, new planning approval to run as a shelter may be required. Proposed staffing structure would need to be clarified in your submission - to include proposals on how volunteers could be utilised. The needs of people using the shelter will be assessed to minimise community disruption before referral to the shelter. Housing benefit may be applicable in certain circumstances. We are looking to get a shelter up and running as soon as possible - opening this winter and funded until at least March 31st 2021 n.b. If this generates sufficient interest from the market we will need to consider going out for a formal process to purchase this service. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/90a6e458-9f94-429f-ae88-b754a3bab06f | | Notice type | Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Dec 2019 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 23 Dec 2019 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 23 Dec 2019 - 16 Apr 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £50,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BRISTOL CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | BRISTOL | | Post town | Bristol | | Postcode | BS1 5TR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK5 West of England | | ITL 3 | TLK51 Bristol, City of | | Local authority | Bristol, City of | | Electoral ward | Hotwells and Harbourside | | Westminster constituency | Bristol Central | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work - 50 - Repair and maintenance services - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 45400000 - Building completion work - 50800000 - Miscellaneous repair and maintenance services - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 3 Dec 2019 at 14:31 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/90a6e458-9f94-429f-ae88-b754a3bab06f - 7 Nov 2019 at 15:50 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9c490966-3642-48ef-b6e0-0cccbc6eeba6 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/90a6e458-9f94-429f-ae88-b754a3bab06f 3rd December 2019 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9c490966-3642-48ef-b6e0-0cccbc6eeba6 7th November 2019 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=975b4e5a-7501-ea11-80fb-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - https://www.bristol.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
