Housing Related Support Services

Tender description

Kingston upon Hull City Council (the Authority) is conducting the procurement using the open procedure in accordance with the requirements of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/102) (PCR 2015) for the purpose of re-procuring Housing related Support Services (HRS). HRS provides preventative low-level support to help people to gain the skills required to live independently, avoid homelessness, combat social isolation and, where possible, access work and training. HRS is recognised by our statutory partners as an intervention that prevents or delays more intensive health and social care provision across the system. The Authority is seeking interested and qualified Providers to supply & deliver its Housing Related Support Services by entering in to a 2 year framework, with an option to extend for a further 2 x 12 month period or periods. Such extension will be at the discretion of the Authority and subject to service review and satisfactory performance. The service will be broken down in to a number of lots/sublots (see service specification). The anticipated service commencement date is 1 November 2018. The Authority envisages that Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (SI 2006/246) (TUPE) will apply to this tender. Hull City Councils Draft Service Agreement will be uploaded on or around 5 - 6 April 2018.
