Description
The West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA), through the work of the Homelessness Taskforce, has successfully secured funding from the Rough Sleeping Initiative (year 4), for the region. This funding to the WMCA from Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) is in addition and adds value to funds allocated to individual Local Authorities. The WMCA will liaise with partner Local Authorities to ensure relevance and strategic fit of services commissioned.
The primary objective of the RSI Fund is to:
- Help people sleeping rough off the streets
- Help those who have moved off the streets to successfully progress away from rough sleeping
- Prevent those in crisis, and at imminent risk, from sleeping rough
The WMCA is now seeking submissions from relevant organisations, to deliver outcomes through the RSI Fund 2021-22 for the period up until 31st March 2022 where all funds must be dispersed by the WMCA by this date. This is being done through a single tender process made up of the following Lot:
Lot D: Outcome focused, spot purchase fund available to organisations to enable individual solutions for people sleeping rough, allowing flexible, personal planning and delivery.
Organisations who are not already delivering under Lot D in 2021/2022 (awarded via a previous tender) may bid for this Lot.
We are limiting individual bids to £5,000 in order to assure a spread of provision and outcomes and there is a total of £25,000 available.
In order to access the documents and submit a bid please do so through BravoSolution, the WMCA's e-tendering portal (https://wmca.bravosolution.co.uk). The tender reference is itt_987. If you are not already registered on BravoSolution it is free and usually only takes a few minutes to do so.
The contract for this project will be on the draft Memorandum of Understanding document which is included as Appendix 2 in the attachments section of BravoSolution. Bids are being assessed on the evaluation criteria outlined in the Specification document and only those organisations that have responded satisfactorily to the questions in the Qualification Envelope of BravoSolution will go on to have their tenders assessed. Please upload your completed application form in section 2.4 of the Technical Envelope in BravoSolution.
Please note that the deadline for tender returns is 1700 on Friday 8th October 2021 and for any clarification questions is 1700 on Tuesday 5th October 2021.
