Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council is currently in the planning stage of the procurement process for the "ASC0258 - Unplanned Care Service." This initiative aims to design and procure a block-funded pilot service for individuals with learning disabilities or autism displaying challenging behaviour within the geographical boundaries of Leicester, Leicestershire, and Rutland. The engagement end date for potential providers to submit their input is set for 7th October 2019. This procurement falls under the health and social work services category, with a total budget of £1,000,000 allocated for the pilot programme.

This soft market testing presents a valuable opportunity for residential care providers specialising in services for adults with learning disabilities or autism to influence the service model's development. Businesses with expertise in residential care and those that can deliver tailored support for individuals with complex needs are particularly well-suited to engage in this process. Stakeholders are encouraged to share their experiences and insights, which will aid the commissioners in shaping a service that meets community needs effectively.

The Service will be a block-funded 12-month pilot service for a minimum of one or more residential care bed/s in one or more care homes located within the geographical boundary of the city of Leicester; the county of Leicestershire; and the county of Rutland. As part of this process the commissioners of this service are keen to capture provider experience, skills, knowledge and concerns at an early point to ensure these can be fully considered throughout the process of designing and commissioning the service.

Residential care providers (and prospective providers) especially for those of adults with learning disabilities and/or autism who display challenging behaviour are asked and encouraged to share their thoughts and experiences in relation to the questions contained within the Soft Market Test questionnaire. It is recognised that such questionnaires take time to complete and so any level of information will be gratefully received.
