Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council is looking to establish a Supported Living Flexible Purchasing System (FPS) to provide Care and Support services for people with learning disabilities and autistic individuals. The FPS procurement process aims to appoint multiple providers to offer support in a supported living setting, with contracts awarded through mini competitions or direct awards. Businesses in the health and social work services sector, particularly those specializing in social work services with accommodation, are well-suited to compete. The tender deadline for submissions is November 16, 2028.

This opportunity is open to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organizations, fostering competition and potential cost savings. The FPS expenditure is estimated annually, and the Council seeks to increase access for local businesses through the procurement process. Businesses interested in the social services sector and with capabilities in supported living services should consider engaging with Rotherham Council's procurement process to contribute towards the delivery of the Council's social value ambitions.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Supported Living FPS

Notice Description

The Council is seeking applications from providers who may wish to join the Supported Living: Flexible Purchasing System (FPS). The intention is to appoint a range of providers with the capability and capacity to deliver Care and Support in a supported living setting. Once the FPS is established, contracts will be awarded either by running mini competitions or via direct awards. The main principles of supported living are that people with learning disabilities own or rent their home and have control over the support they get, who they live with (if anyone) and how they live their lives. Supported living assumes that all people with learning disabilities, regardless of the level or type of disability, can make choices about how to live their lives. Rotherham's population for people with a learning disability and autistic people is changing both in complexity and with an ageing population. Often people remain in provisions with limited move-on opportunities to their own tenancy. There is a lack of specialist autism provision too. In drafting Rotherham's Autism Strategy, autistic people indicated that they needed housing which could accommodate sensory needs with acoustic/noise reduction. As one autistic person said: Home needs to be the place "where we can relax, unwind, and work off that stress". Supported living is a service designed to help people with a wide range of support needs retain their independence by being supported in their own home. People in supported living have their own tenancy and are responsible for their own bills and cost of living. To afford these, the person may be entitled to a wide range of benefits and grants. In single-person-supported living, they will also have their own front door. In Supported Living, the support provided is not dependent on the provision of housing (and vice versa) so if the support provider changes, this doesn't affect the tenancy. The person has the security of tenure in line with their tenancy agreement. The Council has a need to work with high quality supported living provision across the borough and establish a model which will enable the following: - * A flexible approach to engage with multiple suppliers in the market * Cost Savings through increased competition * Opportunity to stimulate development in the Supported Living Market * Potential to increase access for Rotherham's small-medium enterprises * Support the delivery of Rotherham Council's social value ambition Additional information: Additional Information - Annual Estimated Spend Duration Potential FPS Expenditure Social Value YORtender
