(i) prevents a wide range of crisis situations including homelessness;
(ii) supports Clients to stay safe, including their mental and physical wellbeing, and better manage their use of substances and complex needs;
(iii) builds resilience, in part by taking an asset-based approach to personal development that enables employment and future independent living;
(iv) actively supports healthy living and well-being;
(v) actively promotes self-care and avoids hospital or accommodation-based care or use of the Criminal Justice System; and
(vi) proactively supports Clients to regain independence, maximising their capacity to live independently, and to move on with specialist support to prevent future crises.

Complete Tender Coverage

Following Brexit, the new official Find a Tender system has been developed by UK Government to detail all public procurement contract opportunities expected to be over £122, 976 for Central Government or £189,330 for the remainder of the public sector e.g. NHS contracts, Local Authority contracts, Housing Association contracts. Publishing requirements for all of the public sector are in place to ensure transparency, fairness and open competition.

All UK public sector opportunities under these values, but over £10,000 for central government or over £25,000 for other public sector organisations, are still required to be published on Contracts Finder. Scotland, Wales and NI also have their own dedicated sites: Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales, eSourcing NI and eTendersNI.

Complete Tenders have centralised and consolidated all of this information into a single, easy to use platform that is updated hourly with all new opportunities.
