Tender: Specialist Community Support, Day, Mentoring and Supported Living Services Framework – South Gloucestershire Council

About

South Gloucestershire Council is seeking suppliers to provide specialist community-based support, day services, mentoring and supported living services from 1 September 2023. Services will predominantly support people with learning disabilities, autism, mental health issues, sensory impairments, physical impairments, acquired brain injury and behaviours that challenge, and must help individuals in and outside of South Gloucestershire to progress towards identified outcomes from Care Act assessments. Providers are required to deliver services with wellbeing at the core in line with Sections 1 and 2 of the Care Act 2014, offering high-quality, reliable support that increases choice and control, promotes maximum independence and a sense of belonging, and enables access to community, leisure, education, training and employment through purposeful activities. The initial contract term is 48 months with a potential 24-month extension (total possible term 72 months); any extension or renewal depends on continued need, satisfactory performance and availability of funding. This is an open procedure under the Light Touch Regime; potential suppliers must complete and submit required documents by the round deadline (the Council may close the round earlier).
