Summary of the contracting process

The South Lanarkshire Council is initiating a planned tender for "Enhanced Aftercare" services aimed at providing support and accommodation for care-experienced young people. This requirement is identified under the health and social work services category, specifically designed to address the needs of vulnerable individuals aged 16 to 21. The tender process is currently in the planning stage, with related market engagement to be completed by 3 August 2022. The total value of the contract is estimated at £2,067,210, and it will entail a three-year commitment with the possibility of a two-year extension.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in housing and support services, especially those equipped to handle complex needs and provide intensive care. Companies experienced in delivering 24/7 support and emergency accommodation, as well as those with proven capabilities in social work and community-based solutions, would be well-suited to compete. The focus on a bespoke service tailored to a vulnerable demographic means that innovative service providers can differentiate themselves, potentially leading to sustainable contracts and impactful partnerships in the community.

Notice Title

Enhanced Aftercare

Notice Description

The Council has a requirement to provide Enhanced Aftercare for care experienced young people. It has been identified that a number of young people who wish to leave fostering or residential care are not able to live independently due to the lack of a targeted bespoke service which provides community based supported accommodation with a high level of support and 24/7 out of hours response. The Council requires potential bidders to deliver both housing and support solutions with the service to be available across South Lanarkshire geographical boundaries.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The Council does not currently provide a bespoke intensive support and accommodation service for this group of young people. From the Continuing Care group, approximately 10 young people are considered in the high risk category, having left their care placement before they were 18 years. The group of 10 will be a rotating group with service users progressing on at different points, and new members joining at different times. It was reported that these young people in particular were posing considerable challenge to services as they were in cycles of crisis. The proposed model is aimed at this most vulnerable group only. PROPOSED MODEL The Council is currently considering the below model: The proposed service will include 2 main elements: 1. 24/7 Intensive Support As part of the Council's commitment to develop a wider range of options for young people who choose to leave care, the Council is looking to commission a model of high-level support with accommodation for 16 to 21 year old (individual self-contained rooms and communal areas including bathrooms and/or 24/7 staffed shared houses) with support staff available 24 hours, 7 days per week. This could be in one accommodation, or a maximum of 2 locations, accessible by public transport and having local amenities within walking distance. 2. Emergency Accommodation The service will also have capacity to provide safe emergency accommodation and support that some young people will require as an emergency / short term alternative until they resolve the cause of crisis. The model needs to take account that Young People's needs for accommodation and support can change on a daily basis and the service can respond to emergency placements. This service can only be available if there is a vacancy in the 10 places. The Council requires potential bidders to deliver both housing and support solutions with the service to be available across all geographical localities. The service will provide intensive 24/7 support and accommodation, which includes bespoke one to one support for particularly challenging young people with multiple complex needs. These can include young people whose latest placements have broken down, who have been released from custody early, whose lives are at risk due to gang involvement, Criminal exploitation or Unaccompanied Asylum-Seeking Children (UASC), and young people at risk of Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) or who have comorbid substance misuse & mental health. The contract will be procured via the open tendering procedure which is available to all suppliers. The contract will be awarded for a period of 3 years with optional extension of a further 2 years. Additional information: The PIN notice is for information only at this stage, there is no additional information or documentation available at the this time. If you are interested in this opportunity, please express an interest in the Notice and I will advise when the tender is available to download from Public Contracts Scotland - Tender (PCS-T).
