Description

The London Borough of Enfield (the 'contracting authority') is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified provider to deliver Domestic Abuse Refuge and Support Services (the Service"). Please refer to the Service Specification (Schedule - 1 of the ITT) for further information.

The aim of the Service is to provide temporary accommodation and support/advocacy for women aged 16 years and above including their children (where applicable) who are subjected to domestic abuses. The proposed procurement consists of two elements: accommodation for those fleeing abuse in a purpose built 21-bed refuge accommodation (Refuge) and advocacy support for survivors of domestic abuse targeting high-risk survivors of domestic and sexual violence and children at risk of harm with the primary object of securing their safety.
The proposed contract is for an initial term of 3 years. The contracting authority, at its absolute sole discretion, may exercise an option to extend the contract at the end of the initial term for a further period or periods of up to 4 years in 2 years increment, subject to availability of funding and satisfactory performance.

The estimated total contract value is approximately 2,864,000.00 GBP over the 7 years period (including optional extension(s). Please note, the estimated annual contract value will be up to £422,000 for the first year of the contract and up to £407,000 per year for the subsequent years (including the optional extension periods). Therefore, the additional 15,000.00 GBP is only guaranteed for the first contract year.

The Services advertised in this notice fall under the services listed under chapter 3 of The Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The procurement process that will apply to the services is specified in the procurement documents accordingly.

The procurement is being run as a one stage process using the core elements of the Standard Selection Questionnaire as minimum standards. It is envisaged that the Candidate with the top scoring tender demonstrating the Most Economically Advantageous Tender (MEAT) will be awarded the Contract.

Therefore, the contracting authority is inviting interested organisations to submit their tender in accordance with the procurement documents provided via the contracting authority's eTendering portal: London Tenders Portal www.londontenders.org by the tender return deadline which is 12:00 noon on 8 August 2023.

Please refer to the procurement documents uploaded on to the portal for further information.
