Description

East Riding of Yorkshire Council is seeking applications from potential care agencies to be admitted to the Council's new Supported Living Open Framework. This intention is that this framework will be used to commission all supported living schemes or very large packages of care which are contracted through the Council, it will not be used for those individuals who wish to have a direct payment. In the future other models of contract may also be developed, for example individual service funds.

Unlike a traditional framework, suppliers can apply to join the open framework at any time and is designed to provide access to a pool of pre-qualified suppliers that can be continually refreshed, however the applications will only be evaluated every 12 months or when the Council identifies an urgent need in particular to direct award to a specific provider.

There is no limit to the number of providers awarded a place on the open framework for supported living, however it must be recognised that there are no guaranteed levels of business.

It is a requirement that the Agency will be registered as a Home Care Agency with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and any successor body will maintain registration, with no serious compliance issue/s. This Agency is required to have a 'good' or "outstanding" CQC inspection rating - or as a minimum, 'requires improvement' and be able to demonstrate that action is being taken to address the 'requires improvement' inspection rating.

The Agency must have a registered office / location such that they must be able to demonstrate how high-quality outcome-focused, person-centred care can be delivered and effectively co-ordinated for any requirements that they apply for.

This procurement is conducted under the Light Touch Regime, under the EU Public Contracts Directive 2014/24/EU, as implemented by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015 No. 102) Section 7.

The Open Framework starts on 01/03/2025 and the initial end date is 31/03/2033. The Framework includes options to extend up to three further twenty-four month periods at the sole discretion of East Riding of Yorkshire Council with an estimated total contract value of £700m.

The first closing date is noon on 09/12/2024. Further dates are detailed in the tender documents.

Domestic Abuse Intensive Family Support

Domestic abuse is a serious issue, both nationally and locally. The complex nature of domestic abuse and the associated harm and inequalities it creates - including mental and physical ill health, homelessness and unemployment - has a drastic, negative and long-lasting impact upon the safety, health and wider life chances of families. The Trust’s vision is to build a Trust that provides excellent social work and family support for and with the city’s most vulnerable children, young people and families. The commissioned service will work with between 5 and 10 families affected by domestic abuse by providing intensive support over a period of up to two years. The expectation is that the Provider will work with the whole family including survivors, perpetrators, children and the wider family support network. The Provider will support in reducing domestic abuse in Birmingham and will ensure that the needs of children are being met in the home. Families will be identified during mobilisation and, once consent has been sought, information will be shared with the successful Provider within the first week of the contract. It is expected that the Provider will review the shared information around suitability and work will begin with families within the third week of the contract. The Provider is expected to engage in transparent and collaborative discussions with the Trust to determine the appropriate level of support for each family. Should it be assessed that a family does not require intensive intervention and the service is therefore deemed unsuitable, the Provider will promptly commence work with a new family. The work will be evaluated for impact and outcomes for the family. Service activity • work with families identified by the Trust • provide intensive support to families for up to two years (minimum of one session per week initially (the ongoing level of appropriate contact can be discussed with the social worker) and become the lead professional for the family at the appropriate time • provide weekly written progress updates to the allocated social worker and attend and actively participate in Child In Need (CIN) / Child Protection (CP) / core group meetings where appropriate /multi-disciplinary case supervision • evidence how risk is assessed and managed in safety planning throughout the duration of involvement with the family • escalate immediate safety concerns to the allocated social worker • refer to other specialist services where appropriate • provide comprehensive exit strategies to families at the point of closure • provide support to families in stepping down to universal services • support in the prevention of non-family care arrangements This service is a pilot, and the duration of the contract will initially be two years with the potential to extend for two years (1 + 1), beginning 2nd February 2026. The contract will be reviewed on an annual basis with a break clause after January 2027, and each subsequent year; with the continuation of the contract based on funding availability and performance. A Planned Procurement Notice was published on 01 October 2025 (Publication reference: 2025/S 000-061384) The Trust will be using its free to use e-tendering system (in-tend) for the administration of this procurement process and potential suppliers must register with the system to be able to express an interest.
