Summary of the contracting process

Buckinghamshire Council is conducting a tender for "The Provision of a Specialist Residential Short Breaks Service for Young People aged 11 – 19 with Learning Disabilities, Autism and Complex Behavioural Needs", referred to as The Vines. This service will be based in a specially designed six-bed residential unit in Buckinghamshire. The procurement method used is an open procedure, and the tender process is currently at the post-award stage, which was completed on 1st April 2022. The initial contract term is for 24 months, with an option to extend for an additional 12 months, and a budget cap of £1,760,000 has been set for the initial term.

This tender presents significant opportunities for service providers skilled in health and social work services, particularly those with expertise in supporting young individuals with complex behavioural needs. Businesses that prioritise a high standard of care and have experience in Positive Behaviour Support would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. This is especially relevant given the potential for transitioning current service provision due to the expiry of an existing contract, which may also involve staff transfer considerations under TUPE regulations.
