Rough Sleeper Housing Support Services Framework

Milton Keynes Council wishes to procure housing support services for adults aged 18+ years and who have a history of rough sleeping, or who are at risk of rough sleeping.

To do so the Council proposes to enter into a Framework Agreement (the Framework), whereby all potential providers who apply to join the Framework and who meet the stated requirements and/or criteria may be admitted onto the Framework.

Following the initial setting up of the Framework, the Council may at its sole discretion re-open the Framework at any time during its validity to allow more suppliers to join the Framework,

The Framework is procured under Regulations 74 to 77 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 ("Light Touch Regime").

The Council is following the restricted procedure under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended).

Suppliers who have been successful in being admitted onto the Framework will then be invited to submit tenders for the following initial call-off contracts which have been published as part of the tender pack:

1. Supported Accommodation at Orchard House, Wolverton, Milton Keynes 2. Supported Accommodation at Norman Russell House, Crownhill, Milton Keynes 3. Floating Support to accommodation within the community (Next Steps), Milton Keynes

Tenderers are to note, the Authority is under no obligation to award call-offs to those appointed to the Framework. Schedule 6 (Ordering Procedure, Award Criteria and Order Form) of the Framework sets out the processes for awarding call-offs, both with and without calls for further competition.
