The service aims to support adults with offending histories and sustain private rented sector tenancies across Liverpool Sefton, St Helens, and Wirral. The contract period is set for 1st April 2023 to 31st March 2025, subject to pending funding confirmation in February 2023. The procurement method is an open procedure, with a tender deadline of 19th January 2023 for electronic submissions. This tender by LCRCA presents a significant business opportunity for service providers in the health and social work services industry, particularly those experienced in supporting vulnerable individuals with complex needs. Businesses offering flexible and responsive services, adaptable to various support requirements, stand to compete effectively. The renewal option for the contract provides the potential for longer-term engagements, subject to funding availability, benefitting businesses looking for stable service contracts with public authorities. ## Notice The LCRCA wishes to appoint a supplier to provide a support service for adults with a history of offending and are not likely to be assessed as priority need under the Homelessness Reduction Act. The service will provide direct support to those individuals with the aim being to create and sustain private rented sector tenancies. These tenancies are expected to be either one bedroom, studios, or shared housing if appropriate. The service will need to adapt to the needs of the Service Users and offer a flexible response across seven days to ensure that Service Users have access to on-call support. The provider will need to support Service Users with a range of support needs and risks. The provider will need to deliver support across the following Local Authorities: Liverpool Sefton, St Helens, and Wirral. Please note: this service is to be commissioned for the period 1st April 2023 to 31st March 2025 with funding from the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC). Confirmation of funding is expected to be announced February 2023. If funding is not received, the procurement of this service will not be progressed. The contract might be extended yearly for up to two years subject to funding. The value of the contract over the initial term of two years is PS373,100. The total value of the contract including extensions (PS746,200) is only an estimate and we cannot guarantee funding availability to proceed with the extensions. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The LCRCA wishes to appoint a supplier to provide a support service for adults with a history of offending and are not likely to be assessed as priority need under the Homelessness Reduction Act.
