CPU7231 – Framework for Community Based Support and Accommodation Based Services for homeless people (and those at risk of homelessness)
Authority: Nottingham City Council (Local council)
What is being bought9 lots · detail below
Published requirement descriptionThis is a re-opening of the Framework for 'Community Based Support and Accommodation Based Services for homeless people (and those at risk of homelessness) CPU3880', which was previously advertised on the Find A Tender Service on the 4th October 2022. As this is a re-opening of an existing framework, this process will be conducted under the Public Contract Regulations 2015 but with the flexibility provided by the Light Touch Regime (Regulation s74 to 77). Providers currently on the Framework do not need to reapply, unless they wish to tender for a Lot they are not currently on. Nottingham City Council is seeking tenders from sufficiently experienced and qualified providers to add to an existing multiple provider framework for Community Based Support (CBS)and Accommodation Based Services (ABS) for homeless people (and those at risk of homelessness). Both ABS and CBS services will include (but not limited to) the following:
- Single people aged 16+
- Families
- People with protected characteristics
- Rough Sleepers
- People from abroad
- People discharged from hospital
- People leaving prison
- Care leavers
- Survivors of domestic abuse
- Individuals with specialist needs
- Individuals who have/are experiencing Severe and Multiple Disadvantage (SMD) Services have been classified into Lots (detailed below), each with an additional specification outlining further detailed requirements. Providers will apply to be registered on the procurement framework against the Lot(s) of their choice. ABS and CBS Services will then be called off from the Lots with exacting details.
