Notice Title

Framework Agreement for the Provision of Care Support and Enablement for Younger Adults with Disabilities and/or Complex Needs

Notice Description

The Council has a model of service delivery for Care, Support and Enablement services for younger adults with disabilities and/or complex needs that is aimed at meeting a range of needs across the County (which excludes Nottingham City). The Council has a number of contracted Providers that deliver these services within the County, operating under a variety of historical contractual arrangements. On occasion the Council also funds these services for Service Users who live outside of the County. Currently a core Provider model is in place whereby four Providers have the contractual responsibility to undertake any new work arising in their geographical area. Where they are unable to do this they can subcontract to other Providers. However, there are also circumstances whereby the Council may want to contract with another Provider. These include (but are not limited to): * Providers of care homes which are looking to de-register * Providers with Voids within existing accommodation based schemes * Providers who can bring housing solutions * Out of County placements * Providers who bring a highly specialist service offer The Council wishes to establish a Framework Agreement to sit alongside and support the core Provider contracts, allowing the Council to award a Contract to an alternative Provider. The Council may take the option of using this Framework Agreement for future Care, Support and Enablement services once the current core Provider contracts cease. A Multi Provider Framework Agreement will be established and will allow the Council to engage with suitably qualified Providers who will be able to deliver flexible, community based services which will empower Service Users to live independently in their own tenanted "Supported Living" accommodation, or offer Outreach support to people living on their own, or with family Carers; this may also include 1:1 support in day service settings. The majority of the care and support required through this Framework will be Regulated Activity, requiring the Provider to be appropriately registered with the Care Quality Commission. There may however be occasions where Non-Regulated Activities are required. These will be exceptions and Providers should assume they will be providing Regulated Activity unless advised otherwise. This Framework Agreement will be split into two distinct Lots: Lot one where the Provider will provide Care, Support and Enablement services to individuals living in their own homes which may or may not be existing Supported Living accommodation and Lot two where the Provider provides Care, Support and Enablement services to people in new tenancies for individuals in housing which is provided and managed by an independent third party but where the CSE Provider introduces and arranges access to the new tenancies. Providers may apply for both Lots where they are able to meet the specification requirements.
