Weymouth 'Bus Shelter': Specialist Modular Build at Mount Pleasant Park and Ride Weymouth

This is a contract result notice, not an open opportunity. Details from the official award data.

The aim of the project is to deliver 5 additional temporary modular homes.\r \r There is a need to procure a supplier to manufacture and deliver 5 self-contained, modular units at The Bus Shelter site, Mount Pleasant Park and Ride, in Weymouth. \r \r Following a successful bid for Single Homeless Accommodation Programme (SHAP) funding Dorset Council was awarded funding to deliver 5 modular units and to qualify for the funding the units need to be ready for occupation by 21st March 2025.

The total value of this contract is £450,000.\r \r Further to this funding application there were discussions about the project with colleagues in Dorset Council from Assets & Property and Commercial & Procurement, and it was determined that the bid had been based on prices for Supply of the Specialist Modular Builds (as opposed to Works), and the funding for this would exceed the Public Contract Regulations 2015 threshold.\r \r Funding is high profile and is subject to monthly meetings with advisors from Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG).

Progress will also be monitored on a quarterly basis through Key Performance Indicators set by MHCLG.\r \r Dorset Council have existing contractual relationships with the Bus Shelter Weymouth who provide intensive 24/7 support to the existing 12 pods.

A grant from the government's Next Steps Accommodation Programme (NSAP) funded the existing 12 pod units at the site which were installed in 2021, and Rough Sleeper Initiative (RSI) funding provides rolling revenue funding for 2.5 support workers at the project. \r
