Notice Title
CP2216-22 Peninsula Residential Children's Homes Flexible Purchasing System (FPS)
Notice Description
The aim of this service is to increase sufficiency of high quality placements to enable children and young people to remain as close to their home community as possible. This is based on the principle of accessing the right placement at the right time. Placements offer an asset-based model of service, where the child or young person is supported to achieve positive outcomes, with a focus on supporting placement stability and Permanence. The Flexible Purchasing System aims to achieve improved value for money for placing authorities through greater transparency of pricing and competition through call-off. The proposal is for this to be a continually open purchasing system, the aim to speed up the process for new homes to become available for placements by the authorities.
Lot Information
Lot 1 Standard Residential Placements (Individual and Block Placements)
These will enable children to live in residential homes, where they will receive high quality care in a safe and enriching environment, supporting a broad range of needs, including emotional and behavioural issues, sexualised behaviours, and physical disabilities. Understanding of the difficulties children may have experienced and how this may present, will require a therapeutic parenting approach. Services will be needed for a variety of reasons and durations. It is intended that residential children's homes are not used as an end destination for children in care; but are used appropriately to enable stability, safety and support to children and young people so that they can be supported towards family reunification where it is safe and appropriate, step forward to a family foster home, build their interdependence for early adulthood, and always having high aspirations for them. Additional information: This provision is being procured under Part 2, Chapter 3, Section 7 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR 2015) - Social and Other Specific Services (also known as 'the light touch regime') and this procurement does not follow, in particular, any of the defined procedures of the PCR 2015 (even if there are similarities) but does seek to adhere to the best practice procurement principles of Openness, Transparency, Fairness and Equity. This contract has been set up as a Flexible Purchasing System (FPS) under the Light Touch Regime. To be included on the FPS, Applicants will have to satisfy the Authority that they meet the stipulated selection criteria; this will be assessed through the evaluation of the answers given in response to the exclusion questions and the general qualitative selection questions. Provisions are to be Ofsted Registered (or equivalent outside England) and Ofsted rated "Requires Improvement" or above or compliant with the relevant equivalent requirements
Lot 2 Innovation and Partnership Working (Optional Lot)This Lot is intended to allow commissioners to design, and with the providers, deliver bespoke services designed to meet complex needs that are not easily met through standard residential care. One way could be through a competitive conversation to enable specialist support to be put in place in response to a child or young person's individual needs, with additional elements reflected within the individual placement agreement (IPA). This type of approach will also create scope for targeted, developmental work with our providers to develop a multi-disciplinary model of residential assessment provision for children and young people in crisis, which will focus on meeting the needs of children who experience high placement instability.
