Passenger Transport Options Appraisal: Preliminary dialogue with the "Market" on possible options
The Council is currently reviewing its options for the future provision of passenger transport services within its borders and surrounding boroughs.
The main recipients of these services are: (1) young people, students, or children with mobility and/or learning difficulties, requiring home-to-school transport, and return; and (2) vulnerable adult residents requiring transport from home to day centres, and return.
At present, viable options for more detailed exploration are being assembled, the key objective being better value for money, taking into account cost and quality.
As part of this review process, the Council is keen to hear from suitably qualified organisations who may be interested in providing these services in future to help inform the next stage of our review.
The Council wants to make sure, before deciding on the best way forward, that all options are properly identified and assessed, and that any future contract provides value for money to the Council and its Council-tax payers, a responsive service to vulnerable users, and is commercially viable and sustainable for providers.
The current services cost approximately £2,000,000 per annum, and are provided by around 40 directly-employed staff.
At the time of writing, no decision has been taken by the Council on how any future contract will be packaged, the length of contract, or whether there should be an in-house bid. The Council does believe, however, that should an outsourcing occur the Transfer of Undertaking (Protection of Employment Regulations 2006 (otherwise known as the TUPE Regulations) are likely to be applied.
Organisations wishing to apply for this service will therefore need to convince the Council that they are able to fully comply with the TUPE Regulations, including providing comparable pension provision for affected employees.
If you believe that your organisation has the experience and capacity to meet these requirements, and are interested in having preliminary dialogue with the Council to inform our possible options for service delivery please contact-

Expressions of Interest sought for a Contract for Substance Misuse Treatment Services (expires 23 December 2008)
The Council would like to invite expressions of interest from suitably qualified and experienced organisations for the provision of;
Stabilisation Day Programme (Tier 3)
This programme will work with service users who are still using substances and in particular those who are in services as a result of their drug related offending. The programme will assist service users to address their drug use and related offending behaviour.Abstinence Day Programme (Tier 3)
This programme will work with service users who seek abstinence from substance misuse. The programme will assist service users to live substance misuse free lives.Throughcare and Aftercare Service
This service supports service users to remain in treatment or remain in recovery through the delivery of relapse prevention interventions and “wrap around” services including improving access to appropriate employment, training and education options, assistance with tackling legal issues linked to criminal behaviour and encouraging community re-integration.
The Council intends to contract with a service provider who can deliver the most economic, efficient and effective service. Potential providers will have in-depth knowledge of the needs of adults who misuse substances and their carers and will have a solid track record of delivering these sort of services. The work will require active partnership with all other local providers within the treatment system and other key partners in the borough. The Council is seeking to introduce self directed support for people requiring social care services and we are looking for providers who can respond positively to this developing agenda.
The contract will be for 3 years with an option to extend on an annual basis for a period of up to an additional 2 years. The Council intends that the three services should be provided as a single contract. The services can be provided by a single organisation or consortium. The successful provider will be required to enter into a lease for a building in the Borough in order to deliver effective services within Hammersmith and Fulham. In order to facilitate the procurement process the Council will be opening the building by appointment to those organisations selected to tender (provisionally this is planned for 19 January 2009).
All expressions of interest, pre-qualification questionnaires (PQQ) and tenders should be submitted via the London Tenders Portal. All organisations wishing to express an interest should register as a supplier on the London Tenders Portal after Wednesday 26 November 2008 onwards, where they will be able to express their interest and download a pre-qualification questionnaire (PQQ). All PQQs must be submitted via the London Tenders Portal and must be downloaded, filled in, signed, scanned and uploaded back to the London Tenders Portal no later than 12:00 Noon on Tuesday 23 December 2008. PQQs received after this time and date may not be considered.
Service Users will be involved at all stages of the selection process.
