## About this tender

Portsmouth City Council ('the council') is inviting tenders from suitably qualified suppliers to provide a comprehensive and flexible family support service for families across a range of accommodation settings and tenures.

The service shall provide housing-related and parenting support to families who may be at risk of homelessness, with the overall aim of developing essential living skills, resilience and increasing independence.

The service will comprise of the following elements, the council will award a single contract for all elements.

- Element 1: Accommodation-based support for families with significant support needs (minimum 45 units)
- Element 2: Dispersed tenancy support for families living in Local Authority sublet tenancies (minimum 32 units)
- Element 3: Floating family support for families in other housing tenures (minimum 14 units)

Suppliers will need to be able to evidence that they can provide accommodation which meets the requirements of element 1 of the Service and the provision of accommodation-based support.

Portsmouth Churches Housing Association currently provides 24 units of accommodation across two locations in the city for use as family supported housing under the existing service arrangements. These units are available for use under this new contract should providers wish to use them.

The council will provide local authority housing stock for use by the supplier to accommodate families with supported sublet tenancies.

The council is targeting to have awarded the contract on 17 Jun 2022 to allow for service commencement on 1 Oct 2022. The estimated value of the contract is £631,400 per annum, £5,554,560 total value over the maximum 8-year contract term.

This contract is being tendered under two lots.

- Lot 1: 3 year initial term with the provision to extend for 5 further years up to a maximum term of 8 years
- Lot 2: 5 year initial term with the provision to extend for 3 further years up to a maximum term of 8 years

Whilst it is the council's preference to award from lot 1 the council will consider a longer initial term under lot 2 where additional benefits can be realised.

The contract value may increase or decrease throughout the contract term subject to any known or unknown changes to budget allocation, variation of services, or addition of further associated services in order to meet changes in demand or service delivery in accordance with Regulations 72 1) a) to e) of the Public Contracts Regulations (2015).

Should further funding becoming available over the term of the contract for related services the council may seek to expand the scope of the contracts accordingly which could further increase the contract values.

An accurate forecast cannot be made regarding the level of further funding, if any, that may become available, but it is not expected to equate to an increase of more than approx. 10% and therefore approx. £5,554,560 total value over the maximum 8 year contract term. However, these estimates are not guarantees and are non-binding in terms of any maximum total upper value that may be let via the contracts.

The services covered under the contract are social services and fall under the 'light touch regime'. The Council will execute this procurement process in general accordance with the Open Procedure as set out within the Public Contract Regulations (2015).
