This tender, with the title "Direct Award for the Administration and Distribution of Household Support Funding", was awarded through a limited procurement method without publication of a contract notice. The procurement stage is complete, and the contract was signed on 12th July 2023. The services are to be provided in the UKK42 region. This tender offers an opportunity for businesses involved in community, social, and personal services to provide back-office support for the Torbay Food Alliance. Hele Village Community Association has been actively involved in distributing funds for food aid in Torbay and will continue this service with a contract value of £100,000. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in community welfare and support services would be well-suited to compete for this contract, which aims to ensure the provision of food support to vulnerable residents in the Torbay area. ## Notice Following on from the Household Support Fund initiative, Torbay Council intends to enter into an agreement with Hele Village Community Association who will provide back-office support, including the distribution of funds at the direction of Torbay Council, to the Torbay Food Alliance which provides support to people experiencing food insecurity, ensuring that people can access the most appropriate food support for their needs. ### Lot Information Lot 1 In the three years since April 2020, Hele Village Community Association (HVCA), on behalf of Torbay Food Alliance, has received a total of PS503,776.10 from Torbay Council. This funding has been distributed across the partner organisations of the Torbay Food Alliance, at the instruction of the Torbay Council's Director of Adult and Community Services (or another nominated Officer), in order to provide food aid to Torbay residents. This funding has come from central government, through various COVID grants and the Household Support Fund. These monies have been allocated to Local Authorities to distribute to support residents with immediate needs during periods of crisis. There are currently 14 partners in the Torbay Food Alliance, all of which are independent organisations in their own right and have identified HVCA to administer the joint finances on their behalf for a nominal administration fee of PS3,466 p/a. In the three years, since April 2020, HVCA has received a total of PS10,400 to undertake this function as described. This equates to 2% of the total funding awarded. As Torbay Council utilises HVCA to hold and distribute the grant funding released by central Government, for the purpose of transparency this notice addresses the intention to continue this arrangement and transfer PS378,000 to HVCA for the period of September 2023 to August 2024 to distribute to the partners of the Torbay Food Alliance, for a nominal administrative fee of PS7,182. ### Procurement Information The Household Support Fund is distributed to all relevant food providers within the Torbay area who have established an Alliance, this alliance is not a single legal entity, but a voluntary consortium of VCSE organisations. The Torbay Food Alliance approached the Hele Villiage Community Associated (HCVA) to be the point of contact for the Alliance and be the organisation to receive the funds prior to distribution. This arrangement benefits the Alliance as it enables them to have better links within the community to further support the distribution of food to those experiencing food insecurity. The Alliance must be in agreement on who distributes the fund and with the nominal administration fee the HVCA receives, no other provider in the area is interested in supporting the distribution of funds. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/019897-2023 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Negotiated without publication of a contract notice | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Jul 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 11 Jul 2023 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £100,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | TORBAY COUNCIL | | Locality | TORQUAY | | Post town | Torquay | | Postcode | TQ1 3DR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK4 Devon | | ITL 3 | TLK42 Torbay | | Local authority | Torbay | | Electoral ward | Tormohun | | Westminster constituency | Torbay | | Delivery location | TLK42 Torbay | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | HELE VILLAGE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 12 Jul 2023 at 09:18 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/019897-2023 ## Notice URLs - http://www.torbay.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
