What is being bought

Aberdeen City Council requires the provision of a joint Outreach and Housing First support service to meet the needs of homeless clients with a wide range of support needs. Currently there are two separate contracts in place covering the above required service, including Outreach Housing Support (OHS) and Housing First (HF), however, the Council has taken the decision to tender as one single contract to increase the flexibility to allow for changes in assessed need of clients. The contract term is three years plus the option to extend by up to 24 months. The annual contract value is GBP1275150 The maximum budget for the service (including two-year optional extension i.e., five years) is GBP6375750.

Aberdeen City Council requires a joint Outreach and Housing First Support Service within Aberdeen City. The Service Provider will be required to meet the needs of homeless clients with a wide range of support needs ranging from those with medium level, or high tariff housing support needs, to those with severe and multiple disadvantage, or complex needs as defined by the Scottish Government Rapid Rehousing Transition Plan (RRTP) documentation, as benefitting from intensive wrap-around support and a Housing First approach to re-housing. The aim of the service is to allow a flexible and person-centred approach to support, to give the service provider the ability to adapt the level of support provided as the needs of service users change. The Outreach Housing Support service will initially provide for 500 participants over the course of a contract year who are either threatened with or experiencing homelessness; or identified as needing medium to high need housing support to sustain their mainstream council tenancy. The Housing First service will initially provide for 50 participants who are receiving a Housing First approach to their identified support needs and have been housed. Over time it is expected that the service will take new referrals as program spaces are vacated. Similarly, it is expected that the service will be flexible in adapting to changes in demand between the varying levels of support. The Service Provider will maintain fidelity to the Housing First principles for those receiving Housing First support. The initial contract term is 3 years, plus two optional one year extension (3+1+1) Additional information: The estimated value provided, i.e.,GBP6375750 is based on the maximum 5 year period. The estimated contract value for the initial 3 year term is GBP 3825450

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Health and social work services (85000000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

        "description": "Aberdeen City Council requires a joint Outreach and Housing First Support Service within Aberdeen City.\nThe Service Provider will be required to meet the needs of homeless clients with a wide range of support needs ranging from those with medium level, or high tariff housing support needs, to those with severe and multiple disadvantage, or complex needs as defined by the Scottish Government Rapid Rehousing Transition Plan (RRTP) documentation, as benefitting from intensive wrap-around support and a Housing First approach to re-housing. The aim of the service is to allow a flexible and person-centred approach to support, to give the service provider the ability to adapt the level of support provided as the needs of service users change.\nThe Outreach Housing Support service will initially provide for 500 participants over the course of a contract year who are either threatened with or experiencing homelessness; or identified as needing medium to high need housing support to sustain their mainstream council tenancy.\nThe Housing First service will initially provide for 50 participants who are receiving a Housing First approach to their identified support needs and have been housed. Over time it is expected that the service will take new referrals as program spaces are vacated. Similarly, it is expected that the service will be flexible in adapting to changes in demand between the varying levels of support. The Service Provider will maintain fidelity to the Housing First principles for those receiving Housing First support.\nThe initial contract term is 3 years, plus two optional one year extension (3+1+1) Additional information: The estimated value provided, i.e.,GBP6375750 is based on the maximum 5 year period.\nThe estimated contract value for the initial 3 year term is GBP 3825450",
