Disability ‘Open’ Framework for Specialist Residential and Supported Living Services

Tenders are invited from suitably experienced and qualified Service Providers who wish to secure a place on an Open Framework for Supported Living and Residential Services. Spot purchase arrangements may be made either individually or collaboratively by Neath Port Talbot Council, the City and County of Swansea Council, and Swansea Bay University Health Board. Nursing care may be available across each Residential Lot (i.e., 1a, 2a, or 3a). The Framework serves in part to meet West Glamorgan’s collective response to the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014 by supporting individuals in ways that would promote greater independence, choice and control and encourage for some, progression, and recovery and is being procured as a ‘light touch’ framework and therefore not obliged to follow all the obligations contained within the Procurement Act 2023. The Framework consists of the following lots – 1a Learning Disability and/or Neuro Diverse Residential 1b Learning Disability and/or Neuro Diverse Supported Living 2a Mental Health Residential. 2b Mental Health Supported Living 3a Physical Disability and/or Brain Acquired Injury Residential 3b Physical Disability and/or Brain Acquired Injury Supported Living Commissioners are particularly interested in attracting service providers who can offer more specialist support for individuals who may be more complex or have more specialist needs. The Framework may be used by Neath Port Talbot Council, the City and County of Swansea Council, or Swansea Bay University Health Board (SBUHB) to refer individuals with Residential or Supported Living needs. This includes people who may have complex and/or challenging needs, such as those in receipt of Continuing Healthcare (CHC) or whose care is supported through a Section 117 arrangement. In addition, some individuals living in these schemes may have primary or secondary mental health needs or physical disabilities. The Tender will take the form of an open framework (a scheme of successive frameworks) up to eight years in duration, the first framework being a maximum of three years and the second a maximum of five years. There are no TUPE implications to be awarded onto the framework. The estimating activity and spend for 8 years can be challenging, and the estimated spend and predicted volume figures with this Invitation to Tender should be regarded as best endeavours only given what is currently believed as likely demand and cannot therefore be guaranteed.
