Description

Nottinghamshire County Council is seeking a single Provider for the supply of children’s residential care, enabling increased local placement capacity and greater choice for looked after children and young people.
This is described in further detail in the service specification, and in particular the draft contract contained in PART 2 of the tender documentation.
The contract will operate for period of 10 years from 01st October 2025 to 30th September 2035 with break clauses available at year 5 and 7.
The indicative contract value will be £11,500,000.00 per annum.
Nottinghamshire Council has had a block residential care contract in place since April 2015 which is due to expire on 30th September 2025.
The current contract supports 31 children   across 14 homes (January 2025).  There is a further expansion programme consisting of 2 two bed, and 2 solo homes which are currently undergoing renovation. The homes currently available to the Council are a mix of properties both in size and ownership, with some owned by the Council and leased back to the Provider from which to deliver residential care.
There are 195 children placed in residential care (December 2024) of which 31 are currently placed in the block residential care contract. The remainder of placements are sourced from other frameworks, such as the D2N2 Children in Care Framework or spot contracting arrangements.
The Council also operate a further 4 residential homes, 2 of which are for children with disabilities.
At contract commencement a minimum of 70% of the homes offered must be within Nottinghamshire, with the aspiration for this service to have 100% of the homes located within the County by the end of the contract. When considering the development of new homes, these should preferably be situated in the Mansfield/Ashfield areas to reflect the areas of greatest need seen currently. The homes will be placed in areas that data for our children looked after identifies the greatest need.

An open framework allows for the award of successive frameworks on substantially the same terms. This notice relates to the opportunity to apply to be admitted to the First Framework of the Kent OPRN Open Framework Scheme. Care homes should promote safety, dignity, and quality of life, while ensuring that People who draw on care and support receive tailored support to meet their individual needs. The Service Specification has been designed to incorporate the provision of accommodation, care, support, and meaningful activities for individuals, residing in a Care Home setting as their own home, either temporarily or long-term. The Service should enhance an Individual’s quality of life by offering a safe, manageable, and comfortable living environment, and a range of care and support, from assistance with daily living tasks to comprehensive nursing care for those with complex medical needs. The Services under the Kent OPRN Open Framework Scheme and Framework Agreement are ‘light touch’ and are governed by the rules relating to light touch contracts under the Procurement Act 2023. The Council intends, but is in no way obliged to, re-open the Kent OPRN Open Framework Scheme on the first anniversary, the third anniversary and the fifth anniversary, where the Kent OPRN Open Framework Scheme continues for the full term of 8 years. The estimated values set out in this Tender Notice are on the basis that the Kent OPRN Open Framework Scheme continues for 8 years, on the basis of 4+4 years. The term of the Third Framework in the Scheme will be 1+1 years, to account for the extension period. The Council does not guarantee that the framework will continue for the full term of 8 years.

The estimated value of this First Framework is £275,000,000 (inclusive of VAT). No guarantee is given as to the actual value of any Frameworks under the Kent OPRN Open Framework Scheme, or any call-off contracts entered under any framework agreement. This estimated value is by no means a commitment to spend. The organisation of local government is undergoing reform and the Council anticipates a change to the responsibilities of the delivery of adult social care in the administrative area of Kent County Council. The Framework Agreement and Open Framework Scheme can be used by the Council on its own behalf and on behalf of the Relevant NHS Body (as defined in the Framework Agreement) and or any successor body of the Council, or Contracting Authority that delivers adult social care services in the geographical area of Kent County Council during the term of the Open Framework Scheme.
