The County Council is seeking a Service Provider organisation to manage this block of 41 flats, providing support for residents over a 5-year period. The tender is currently at the planning stage, with a total contract value of £1,250,000 GBP. The engagement event is scheduled for Wednesday 18th October 2023. This tender presents an opportunity for service providers in the housing and community amenities sector to compete for a contract that involves managing accommodation for individuals and families transitioning from Bridging Hotels to long-term housing solutions. Businesses with expertise in letting services, community services, and provision of services to the community would be well-suited to bid for this opportunity. The West Sussex County Council, as the buying organisation, is seeking a Service Provider to enter into a sub-lease agreement for managing the accommodation block, delivering repairs, maintenance, and support services. ## Notice West Sussex County Council are holding a Provider engagement on Wednesday 18th October at 3pm via Microsoft Teams. Please RSVP via the contact details provided in this notice by 10am Tuesday 17th October. Please see below for some brief detail around the Councils requirements. Since November 2021, West Sussex County Council (WSCC) has been delivering the onsite wrap-around support provision across two Bridging Hotels which were commissioned by the Home Office to accommodate individuals and families evacuated from Afghanistan during Operation Pitting following the rise of the Taliban in August 2021. Following the Prime Minister's announcement in December 2022 describing an intention to reduce the reliance on hotel accommodation, a programme of activity has been underway which culminated in the closure of all Afghan Bridging Hotels across the country on 31st August 2023. WSCC continues to work with national and regional partners to secure property options to allow Bridging Hotel residents to move to independent settled accommodation in a location of their choice across the country as well as within West Sussex. All residents of Bridging Hotels have arrived into the UK with status granted under one of the national Refugee Resettlement schemes and as such have full access to welfare benefits, education, employment, healthcare, language skills and full integration support which provides the supporting Local Authority (WSCC) to claim tariff funding to deliver this practical support for a 3 year duration from move to settled accommodation. The County Council now has the opportunity to enter into a lease to secure a block of flats providing multiple units of accommodation for those previously in Bridging Hotels. This will alleviate the demand for the use of more expensive temporary accommodation and provide longer-term housing, for individuals, couples and small family groups, who are already living and working in the area. West Sussex County Council are now seeking a Service Provider organisation to supply management services for this single block of 41 flats. The Service Provider will be required to enter into a sub-lease with the County Council on terms to be agreed between both parties. The Service Provider will be required to deliver, over the 5 year sub-lease period, support for individuals/families resident within the individual self-contained flats which will be inclusive of (but not limited to) repairs and maintenance to the entire accommodation block and individual flats, inclusive of out of hours support, liaison with both the landlord and tenants and issuing tenancy agreements. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/030309-2023 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 Oct 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 12 Oct 2023 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,250,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | WEST SUSSEX COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | CHICHESTER | | Post town | Portsmouth | | Postcode | PO19 1RQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ2 Surrey, East and West Sussex | | ITL 3 | TLJ27 West Sussex (South West) | | Local authority | Chichester | | Electoral ward | Chichester Central | | Westminster constituency | Chichester | | Delivery location | TLJ27 West Sussex (South West), TLJ28 West Sussex (North East) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 55 - Hotel, restaurant and retail trade services - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 55250000 - Letting services of short-stay furnished accommodation - 75200000 - Provision of services to the community - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 13 Oct 2023 at 13:30 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/030309-2023 ## Notice URLs - https://www.westsussex.gov.uk/default.aspx ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
