Durham County Council invites experienced and skilled organisations to provide a comprehensive Health, Wellbeing and Night Hub service. The tender covers the provision of a Safe Night Hub, an Integrated Support Hub, and related dispersed properties, all delivered from a single premises that supplies wrap‑around support for adults at risk of homelessness, rough sleeping or adverse health outcomes. The service aims to prevent discharge to the street for eligible adults, offer immediate short‑term step‑down support following hospital discharge, identify housing needs early and facilitate move‑on solutions, and support access to a range of statutory and voluntary services including housing, welfare benefits, financial support and health appointments.

In addition to the central hub, the contract requires the operator to maintain ten dispersed supported accommodation properties that serve as a step‑down pathway from the Night Hub. The provider will coordinate these facilities to enable a seamless transition for users from the hub to independent housing, thereby reducing rough sleeping and repeat homelessness while improving engagement with broader support networks. The contract carries the option for renewal in two one‑year periods contingent on funding availability, performance, and commissioner approval.

All services must comply with relevant health and safety, housing, and data protection regulations.

United Utilities Water Limited is launching a single integrated framework to replace its existing fragmented arrangements for Tankering, Industrial Cleaning and Water Sludge Cake services across its water, wastewater, network and bioresources operations. The framework will streamline the procurement of planned, reactive and emergency operational services, provisioning suppliers with a compliant route to market for the collection, movement, transport, discharge and disposal of wastewater, sludge, sludge cake, solids, grit, and other associated materials. By consolidating these essential activities, United Utilities aims to ensure continued operational resilience and environmental stewardship within its asset portfolio.

The framework has been divided into three distinct lots. Lot 1 covers Tankering Services, including loading, collection, transport, transfer, and discharge of a broad range of waste streams, inter‑works sludge transfer, wastewater transfer, process tankering, solids haulage, and incident support during capacity constraints or emergencies. Lot 2 focuses on Industrial Cleaning Services, encompassing planned and emergency cleaning of operational wastewater and sludge‑related assets through emptying, desilting, de‑gritting, washdown, jetting, vacuumation, screening, pumping, and containment of waste materials. Lot 3 addresses Water Sludge Cake and Water Sludge Services, providing collection, loading, transport, haulage, transfer, and operational spreading of waterworks sludge cake, liquid sludge and associated solids between United Utilities sites and approved destinations.

Suppliers admitted to the framework will be evaluated against United Utilities’ minimum technical, operational, commercial, health and safety, environmental, transport and compliance requirements, with active call‑offs determined through separate competitions. The framework will operate for an initial four‑year term with options for two additional two‑year extensions, reflecting the company’s need for flexibility and performance continuity. All supplied services must meet relevant industry technical standards and compliance protocols.

The tender invites qualified contractors to undertake a comprehensive refurbishment programme at the Handforth Community & Youth Centre, addressing structural, architectural and internal deficiencies identified in the April 2024 Building Survey.

In addition to the core repair works, the council looks forward to the installation of energy‑saving technologies, such as solar panels and heat pumps, where budget allows, along with related water‑conservation measures. The programme also requires a full fire‑risk assessment, the upgrade of smoke detection, emergency lighting, and fire doors, as well as a comprehensive electrical inspection and rewiring under NICEIC certification. All work must comply with local building regulations, fire safety standards and NICEIC certification requirements.
