The brief

Brunelcare invites tender responses for the provision of an Out of Hours (OOH) Contact Centre Service to deliver urgent housing, property, and welfare-related support during evenings, weekends, and public holidays.

The service will support residents living in Brunelcare's sheltered flats and bungalows, which provide an independent living environment within a supportive community.

The service requirements include, but are not limited to: - Emergency repairs and safety-related incidents. - Welfare checks and safeguarding alerts. - Assistance with access issues, lockouts, and other urgent housing matters. - Escalation of incidents and handover to Brunelcare's daytime operational teams.

The supplier will be responsible for coordinating with Brunelcare's DLO and specialist contractors in relation to any repair-related call-outs.

The successful Supplier will provide a comprehensive call handling and triage service, including the logging, monitoring, escalation, and reporting of all out of hours incidents.
