The council aims to secure a block of flats to accommodate individuals previously in Bridging Hotels, providing them with longer-term housing options. The estimated total value for this contract is £1,250,000. The procurement stage is currently at the planning phase, with a future notice date of 20th October 2023. This procurement opportunity by West Sussex County Council offers potential for service provider organisations to deliver management services for the block of flats. Businesses specializing in property management and accommodation services would be well-suited to compete for this contract, which involves providing support for residents, maintenance of the accommodation block, and issuing tenancy agreements. The contract duration is for 5 years, presenting a lucrative opportunity for businesses in the services sector to engage in public procurement with a regional authority. ## Notice West Sussex County Council are holding a Provider engagement on Monday 30th October at 1.30pm via Microsoft Teams. Please RSVP via the contact details provided in this notice by 2.30pm Friday 27th October. Please see below for some brief detail around the Council's requirements. ### Lot Information Lot 1 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. The Estimated total value for this contract is PS1,250,000. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/030961-2023 | | 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 | 20 Oct 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 19 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 - 70 - Real estate services ### Codes - 70210000 - Residential property renting or leasing services ## Release History - 20 Oct 2023 at 08:19 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/030961-2023 ## Notice URLs - https://www.westsussex.gov.uk/default.aspx ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
