This Invitation to Tender provides information pertaining to the procurement of a Specialist Homeless Health Integrated Service. The purpose of this procurement is to secure a Service Provider to deliver a Specialist Homeless Health Integrated Service for service users within North Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent.

The aim of this service is to co-ordinate care for the most vulnerable and complex people who are homeless including rough sleepers.

- To maximise the benefits of a very scarce highly skilled clinical resource

- To minimise the communication steps and referral handoffs

This service is aimed at individuals who are:

- aged 18 years and above AND

- who are sleeping rough or are considered homeless, within the boundaries of Stoke on Trent or Newcastle –under-Lyme, regardless of whether they are registered with a GP or not

- Have multiple complex needs i.e. 3 or more of the following: homelessness, mental-ill health, addiction, complex long term physical health conditions, offending

The CCGs are looking to appoint a Service Provider to deliver this Service for a period of 29 months with the option to extend for up to a further 24 months. The Contract will commence on the 1st November 2022.

The CCGs have set an indicative affordability threshold of £200,000 per annum (full year effect) for the Procurement. The total indicative contract value for 29 months is £483,333 and if the optional extension of 24 months is utilised the value is £883,333. The CCGs reserve the right to reject Bids that are above the affordability envelope and reserve the right to seek clarification on bids that are unusually low with regards to the affordability threshold.
