Description

The London Borough of Camden is seeking to award contracts for the provision of two services which form part of the Adult Pathway for homeless adults. Both contracts will provide 24/7 medium to high support in purpose built hostels for medium to high support needs, with the rest being supported housing with daytime cover for low to medium support needs. The services will work within a Psychologically Informed Environment (PIE). Lot 1 - Substance Misuse Service will provide support to single homeless men and women aged 18 or over with drug and/or alcohol dependencies. Lot 2 - Women's only Recovery Service will provide support to women who may or may not be engaging or able to access mainstream services. These services come under Chapter 3, Section 7 (Social and Other Specific Services) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Under Regulation 76 the Council may determine the procedure to be applied in connection with the award of the Contracts. The process will be a three stage process similar to a competitive procedure with negotiation, under the Light Touch Regime. STAGE 1 - Tenderers will be required to provide an initial written response to the selection and award criteria. Initial Tenders will be required to meet the minimum standards of the selection criteria prior to their Tender being considered for evaluation against the award criteria. STAGE 2 -Those Tenderers that pass all the selection criteria will be invited to a meeting with officers from the evaluation panel to discuss their submission in order to further improve their final bid. STAGE 3 - Following this meeting Tenderers will be invited to submit their Tender. A minimum threshold has been set for quality and price. Tenderers can only be awarded one Lot even if they achieve the highest score (quality and price added together). Tenderers will be able to state their preferred Lot.
