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 indicative contract value will be £11,500,000.00 per annum.

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.

Semi-Independent Supported Housing for Homeless People

The Council wishes to procure units of semi-independent supported housing for homeless people, aged 18+ For some homeless people, a hostel is not the optimal setting in which to develop independent living skills. A protracted stay in a hostel, particularly as independence develop and grows, can be counter-productive for some vulnerable people. Similarly, a hostel may not always be the appropriate environment for those residents that have fewer, or less complex presenting issues, or those that already have some degree of independent living skills, as the time spent by staff providing support can often be monopolised by those residents that present with chaotic behaviours. It is expected that the target Service User profile for this service will have fewer or less complex support needs than their peers in other homeless services. This is not to say that the target service user profile will not present with any support needs, but rather it is intended that this service will be aimed at those that may have already spent time in more intensive supported housing but who no longer require that level of support; or that they may have previously held a tenancy. The service will be expected to deliver housing-related support that is designed to maximise a person's ability to live independently and will cover aspects such as Physical/Mental Health, Finance & Budgeting, Employment, Training or Education etc. The Council is seeking bids that propose the use of dispersed single-occupancy accommodation, rather than group living. The opportunity is lotted as follows Lot 1 - 14 Units of Semi-Independent Supported Housing for Homeless People Lot 2 - 50 Units of Semi-Independent Supported Housing for Homeless People Tenderers may respond to one or both Lots
