Market Engagement Event – Housing Support Services

Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council (BCP Council) are hosting an online Market Engagement event on Wednesday 8th May 2024 at 13:00-14:30 on Microsoft Teams to gather your views on Housing Led Support Services for Adults, (currently commissioned as Housing Related Support Services). This will provide early insight into the likely level of interest from that market and will help shape the requirement. The event is open to all providers who have an interest in the delivery of: Housing Led Support Services for Homeless Adults. We will use your views to develop our business proposal, shape the procurement and future delivery of BCP’s Homeless Supported Housing Pathway Services. BCP Council would like to seek provider views about;  What works well currently in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole and other areas and do you have any examples of good practice you can share?  What could we do better?  What barriers prevent successful partnership working?  What needs to change so that we can plan services in a way that supports people in having choice and control in their lives?  What does good accommodation look like?  What could BCP do to encourage and support providers to shape and deliver services to meet the current and future needs of individuals in the BCP area? We will be sharing with you the BCP’s Housing and Communities thinking and future commissioning intentions. The Market Engagement event is an information gathering exercise only and it is intended that any responses to this Market Engagement may be used by the Council to develop a business proposal. Any such proposal would be subject to the development and approval of a business case by the Council, and, as such, this exercise implies no commercial commitment and is not a formal tender document. Participation or non-participation in this Market Exercise shall not prevent any organisation participating in any potential procurement process nor is it intended that any information supplied shall place any organisation at an advantage in any forthcoming procurement process. To join us at this Microsoft Teams Market Engagement Event please register by Friday 3rd May 2024, midday by sending your First and Last Name, Organisation Name and email address to Housingcontractsteam@bcpcouncil.gov.uk For those providers who are unable to attend the event, we would welcome your responses by completing a short on-line survey.
