Tender description

A market event has been scheduled for the Heather Court Redesign & Tender Project as the council would like to share the upcoming plans for this procurement. It is intended the service will be procured in 2022 with a contract start date of 1st October 2022. This is not an invitation to tender. The London Borough of Havering is seeking interest from organisations that are able to manage access for young people aged 18 to 25 years to short term accommodation with targeted support to develop appropriate life skills that will enable them to manage successfully in their own accommodation. The ideal service provider should be able to demonstrate an innovative, creative and flexible approach to delivering targeted support which places the individual at the heart of the process involves individuals in choices about their support and promotes independence, dignity and choice at all times. The kind of things we are looking for may include: • Developing responsibilities around holding a tenancy, paying rent, incorporating an approach around 'good' neighbour issues • Budgeting, managing money, accessing benefits and addressing debt • Accessing training, education, volunteering or employment • Addressing chaotic, offending or anti-social behaviours • Keeping them safe including safeguarding against the dangers of substance misuse, sexual exploitation, abuse, etc • Improving daily living skills such as cooking, meal planning, healthy eating, laundry, cleaning, etc • Developing a culture whereby service users value independence and acquire the skills to sustain independent living Lot 1: The Council intends the contract to commence in Q3 2022 and is considering a five year contract with an extension of up to two years. Following internal governance processes we anticipate that the opportunity will be published in early May 2022 through the Council's new e-Tendering System called Oracle Fusion. The tendering exercise will be undertaken using the electronic tendering system 'Oracle Fusion' (https://elfy.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/fscmUI/faces/PrcPosRegisterSupplier?prcBuId=300000002366037).
