two.1.4) Short description
The Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise Sector (VCSE) plays a vital role in Kingston supporting some of the borough’s most vulnerable residents. The sector has played a crucial role in the Kingston Covid response and continued funding of local Voluntary Community Sector organisations is an important part of ensuring the Authority has an effective approach to early help and prevention. These proposals build on learning from the Covid response, the priorities of the Communities Taskforce, the recommendations from Seizing the Moment, and sector best practice. The service priorities, specification requirements and monitoring approach have been co-designed with the sector.
A phased approach to the commissioning process has been adopted, with contracts falling into earlier Phase 1, 2, 3 contracts and the remaining contracts into this Phase 4.
This procurement exercise is in relation to Phase 4 only.
There are two (2) proposed Commissioning Themes in Phase 4.
Each Commissioning Theme has Lots which indicate the type of service provision required. This assists us in focussing our intentions into areas of need.
Commissioning Theme 6: Mental Health and Wellbeing
Lot 6a - Dementia Advice & Support Services
Lot 6b - Mental Health Support
Lot 6c - Bereavement Counselling & Support Services
Commissioning Theme 9: Advocacy
Lot 9a - Integrated Advocacy
Tenderers will be required to set out in their Tender which Theme Lot/s they are bidding for.
