The most recent grant award of RSI Navigator funding is made by GMCA and runs from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2029. The RSI Navigator service ensures that we are working towards ending rough sleeping within the borough and is based on assisting with the delivery of the three principles identified in the Oldham Rough Sleeping Plan; 1. Prevention - Stopping people sleeping rough for the first time. 2. Intervention - Support to those currently sleeping rough to move off the streets. 3. Recovery - Support to those who have slept rough to ensure they don't return to the streets The appointed RSI Navigator provider is tasked with sourcing accommodation and building effective networks of support for rough sleepers in the borough. The RSI Navigator provider is key to tenancy sustainment for the cohort of identified entrenched rough sleepers. The ongoing support provided by the RSI Navigator provider continues with service users through their journey in temporary accommodation schemes such as A Bed Every Night (ABEN) and stays with them when they are housed in an independent tenancy, in either the social or private sector. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Renewal: The contract will be let on a 1+1+1 basis to reduce risk and provide flexibility should any changes be required to the funding model by GMCA. The proposed contract structure, including the use of an initial term and 2 x 1 extensions, is legally permissible and appropriate given the grant funded nature of the services and provides flexibility should funding arrangements change. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/076112-2026 | | Notice type | UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | 23 Sep 2026 | | Future notice date | 17 Aug 2026 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 8 Oct 2026 - 8 Oct 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £400,000 | | Lots value | £400,000 | | 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 | OLDHAM METROPOLITAN BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | OLDHAM | | Post town | Oldham | | Postcode | OL1 1HD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD37 Greater Manchester North East | | Local authority | Oldham | | Electoral ward | Coldhurst | | Westminster constituency | Oldham West, Chadderton and Royton | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 70 - Real estate services - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 70333000 - Housing services - 85311000 - Social work services with accommodation ## Release History - 11 Aug 2026 at 10:05 - Planning - UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/076112-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/076112-2026 11th August 2026 - Planned procurement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
