Notice Title

Building Better Somerset - Specialist Provider Framework

Notice Description

Building Better Somerset is funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. It is led, managed and delivered by The Pluss Organisation CIC across Somerset. The initial term of this framework will be for 7 months from September 2023 to 31/03/24. Pluss reserves the right to extend this framework by a further year. Please note this contract allocation is for the contract area as a whole, and is not an assigned allocation to the individual specialist provider. This allocation will be accessed by the specialist provider on a needs basis per participant, as and when Pluss staff refer participants to the specialist provider. Pluss wish to bring in specialist providers to deliver services that will help participants to overcome personal barriers to progression. As these services will be specific to the participants' needs, and sporadic in terms of the service requirements, to ensure a full coverage of services, Pluss is inviting specialist providers to apply to be on the Opportunities Framework as part of the Building Better Somerset Contract. Once specialist providers are approved onto the Opportunities Framework, Pluss will be able to call off services on a needs basis per participant. The services are set out (but not limited to) the list under requirements (3) in the ITT document of this tender. Please note, Pluss is not looking for one specialist provider to deliver all services across the area, services may be awarded to more than one specialist provider to suit the requirements of the programme. Once approved and placed on the Opportunities Framework, this in no way guarantees a commitment to volume or revenue as the framework is there to be accessed on a needs basis. The services under the Opportunities Framework will be very varied and for example, may range from a vocational training course to accessing help for substance misuse issues. Due to this varied nature of services required under Building Better Somerset, there is also the scope to add services under None-Listed Services. Please refer to ITT document for full details including how to respond to this advert.
