In plain English
Manchester City Council wants a provider to run a city-wide navigator service that gives early, personalised support to adults facing multiple disadvantage, such as overlapping problems with housing, health, money or employment. The aim is to help people before their difficulties escalate into crisis, and to feed the barriers they face back to the public services that can fix them.
What the buyer wants
• Deliver a city-wide navigator service offering early intervention and personalised support to adults experiencing multiple disadvantage. • Work collaboratively with other public services and identify and report the barriers clients face so decision makers can address them. • Measure and report individual, service and system outcomes against the Outcome Framework in Section 5.1 of Appendix B (Specification).
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
At over £5 million with a city-wide scope, a demonstrable track record of delivering adult support services at scale, and the capacity to partner across several public bodies, this is out of reach for most small businesses.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
