This tender, titled "CPD-004-122-023-National Body for Home Improvement Agencies (HIAs)," falls under the business services category within the law, marketing, consulting, and security industry. The contract is set to commence on 1st October 2021 and will run for two and a half years, concluding on 31st March 2024. The tender period ends on 25th May 2021, with bid submissions to be made electronically or in writing via the provided portal. This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in consultancy, advisory services, and support for public sector organisations. Companies well-versed in housing, health, and social care integration, especially those with expertise in managing and delivering local government services, will be particularly well-suited to compete. The successful bidder will play a crucial role in coordinating policy delivery for Disabled Facilities Grants (DFGs) and providing essential support to local authorities, thus contributing to the efficiency and effectiveness of public services in the housing sector. ## Notice This requirement is for a new two-and-a-half-year contract for an organisation to act as a national body for HIAs on an England-wide basis. HIAs are typically locally based, non-profit services, providing around 50% of Disabled Facilities Grants (DFGs). We are seeking to ensure coverage of vital national body support to HIAs as well as all local authorities - both in the 71% of local areas in England that have HIA coverage and for local authorities that administer DFGs in house - to help drive efficiency, effectiveness and value for money in local DFG delivery. Government funding for the DFG in 2021-22 totals PS573 million. We are therefore seeking proposals from Tenderers that can demonstrate the necessary expertise and experience to: * act as a centre of expertise and central point of coordination for all local authorities and HIAs; * provide expert information, advice, training and accreditation to local authorities, HIAs and the wider home adaptations sector around their DFG delivery; * help promote the integration of housing, health and social care through sharing best practice around the inclusion of home adaptations in local strategies, commissioning and investment planning; * represent the sector, co-ordinate views and offer leadership as well as steering the sector in dealings with outside stakeholders, including Government; * maintain websites and social media, which should include a publicly available database of all HIA services available in England, e-Newsletters, e-Bulletins, e-Briefings, reports and sharing good practice guides; * gather front-line intelligence around local DFG delivery across England for Government and develop, maintain and analyse the data; and * provide insight to inform MHCLG about the home adaptations policy delivery landscape and advise on policy development around home adaptations as required. ### Lot Information Lot 1 This requirement is for a new two-and-a-half-year contract for an organisation to act as a national body for HIAs on an England-wide basis.
