Social work services with accommodation

Tender description

Bristol City Council is seeking experienced partners to provide accommodation and support in Bristol to homeless families. Partners will provide and manage good quality accommodation and provide short term support to households referred into the accommodation to help them recover from homelessness and move on to sustainable housing (usually to meet VII Homelessness Duty). The majority of households will have low support needs, however, partners will need to be experienced and expert at working with people with a range of needs including mental ill health, substance misuse and psychological trauma. Providers will also need to assist families to settle into new tenancies and make their move out of supported accommodation successful. We are seeking accommodation in family hostels (for smaller families) and flats and houses for larger families. Providers will need to have access to suitable accommodation, including relevant planning consent. This PIN has been issued in order to seek expressions of interest from suppliers that may wish to take part in the associated tender. This PIN is not a call for competition for the purposes of Regulation 26(9) of the Public Contracts regulation 2015. The Council is holding a Provider Day on 29th September 10:00 — 12:00 GMT at City Hall, College Green, Bristol, BS1 5TR to provider perspective bidders with more information on the proposed tender process.
