Description

Bristol City Council is commissioning supported accommodation for homeless single people and childless couples. This will be split into four supported accommodation pathways for homeless single adults:
• Pathway 1: Men only;
• Pathway 2: Mixed: men and women;
• Pathway 3: Women only;
• Pathway 4: Substance use (including specialist abstinent-based accommodation). NOTE: There is a separate award notice for Pathway 4, linked below.

To be eligible, prospective contractors must:
• Own accommodation AND be a Registered Provider of Social Housing; OR
• Own accommodation AND be in the process of applying to become a Registered Provider of Social Housing; OR
• Lease accommodation from a Registered Provider of Social Housing.

Accommodation must be:
• Furnished, one-bedroom units within self-contained properties, shared houses or blocks of accommodation.
• Within the geographical boundary of Bristol (i.e. cannot be in neighbouring authorities);
• Available from 28 October 2024 for a period of at least 3 years.

An expression of interest was run to identify suitable providers which closed on 11/03/2024 (the link to this expression of interest is contained in this notice). To minimise the complexity of multiple providers delivering services, prospective contractors had to be able to supply a minimum of 50 units in total, or meet the minimum number of units specified within the Expression of Interest document.

• The Contract(s) will be for 3 years with an option to extend for 2 x 1 years
• The estimated annual value of this contract is £5,381,874

This process has been undertaken on a voluntary basis with the Services being exempt from Part 2 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 by virtue of Regulation 10(1)(a), but with a view to attracting as many Service Providers as possible.
