## Summary

The Liverpool City Region Combined Authority (LCRCA) is seeking to appoint a Service Provider for an Assertive Outreach Service, aimed at supporting rough sleepers in Halton, Knowsley, and St Helens. This procurement process falls under the health and social work services category, with an active tender status, and is following an open procurement method. The initial term of the contract is set for 2 years and 9 months, starting from 1 July 2022 and ending on 31 March 2025, with a potential extension of up to 3 years depending on funding outcomes. The estimated budget for the contract could reach £502,864.69, contingent on the Rough Sleeper Initiative funding for the specified period.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social services, particularly those experienced in homelessness support, mental health services, and community outreach programmes. Companies that can demonstrate a strong understanding of working collaboratively with local authorities and health services will be well-suited to compete for this contract. Additionally, providers that can showcase innovative approaches to deliver effective outreach and support to vulnerable populations may stand out in their bids. Engaging in this process could lead to long-term partnerships and an impactful role in community welfare improvements within the Liverpool City Region.

## Notice

The Liverpool City Region Combined Authority (LCRCA) wishes to appoint a Service Provider to provide an Assertive Outreach Service for rough sleepers across the boroughs of Halton, Knowsley and St Helens within the Liverpool City Region. This service will meet the needs of individuals rough sleeping and those at risk of rough sleeping. The service will work cross mental and physical health, adult social care and local authority homelessness services to ensure individuals receive the support they need to move off the streets and into the homeless pathway. The Initial Term of the Contract will be for 2 Years 9 months commencing on the 1 July 2022 to 31 March 2025, but with a proviso in the Contract documentation for the LCRCA to have an option to extend the Contract up to a maximum of 3 years, after the Initial Term. The Contract will be monitored throughout the Initial Term and extension period of the Contract. The value of the contract could be PS502,864.69 (for 2022-2025) but this is subject to funding and may decrease depending on the outcome of Rough Sleeper Initiative submission for 2022-2025. The funding is expected to cover the period of 1 July 2022 - 31 March 2025 ('Initial Term'). After this time, if there is continued funding from DLUHC for RSI to enable us to continue with the Assertive Outreach Service, then it is possible that the LCRCA may wish to extend the Contract up to a maximum of three years (as one three-year extension or as three one-year extensions, depending on how funding is awarded). The Service Provider should note that figures are therefore for guidance purposes only and are subject to change. Service Providers should therefore place no reliance on this and should realistically and competitively tender for the services.
