Summary of the contracting process

Kirklees Council is procuring supported living services for adults with eligible social care needs in Kirklees. The arrangement covers two service models: community-based support for people living in their own homes, and building-based support for people living in shared accommodation. Services may include one-to-one help with community and social activities, enabling people to live as independently as possible. The requirement is divided into seven service categories: learning disabilities and autism, severe and enduring mental health needs, personality disorder, complex physical or sensory impairment and long-term health conditions, acquired brain injury, and persistent or chronic drug and alcohol dependency. NHS Kirklees CCG may also use the provider arrangement, subject to governance approval. This is a health and social care services requirement.

The procurement is complete and has produced a non-exclusive electronic marketplace under a restricted procedure, with awards made through further competitions. Evaluation was based entirely on quality. For the latest recorded awards, contracts were signed on 31 March 2026 with Amethyst Care & Support Group (£349,003.20), Assist Homecare (£49,857.60), AV Support 247 Limited (£189,488.88), Care Angels Batley Ltd (£414,335.48), Catholic Care (Diocese of Leeds) (£36,146.76), Home Group Ltd (£115,918.92), Our TLC Limited (£73,539.96) and The Riverside Group Ltd (£119,658.24). The marketplace was intended to run from 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2027, with up to five further 12-month extensions, ending no later than 31 March 2032. One Edgar House contract was terminated because of unforeseeable circumstances.

This procurement demonstrates sustained demand from Kirklees for flexible supported living provision across both home-based and shared-accommodation settings. A credible competitor would need established experience supporting adults with varied and complex needs, including learning disabilities, autism, severe mental health conditions, personality disorder, physical or sensory impairment, acquired brain injury, and drug or alcohol dependency. Providers should be able to deliver regulated care, hold Care Quality Commission registration with a rating of requires improvement or above, and operate within 15 miles of the Kirklees boundary. Strong safeguarding and health and safety governance, positive net worth, sufficient turnover to manage service volume, and substantial employers’ and public liability and malpractice insurance are central requirements. The awards also show a market containing both specialist local providers and larger organisations.

The Council of the Borough of Kirklees (the "Council") is conducting this procurement exercise, in accordance with the Light Touch Regime of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/102), and intends to establish an Electronic Market Place ("EMP") with Providers with relevant experience and ability to provide Supported Living Services on a non-exclusive basis to Adults with eligible Social Care needs for the Council.

Lot 2 - Supported Living - Building Based

Kirklees Council wish to establish a Supported Living Services ("SLS") Provider Agreement to replace the current Framework Agreement which may also be used by the NHS Kirklees Clinical Commissioning Group ("CCG") (subject to CCG governance approval). As the current Framework arrangement does not allow new Providers to be able to join, the new SLS arrangement will in the format of an Electronic Market Place ("EMP") which will allow new Providers to join. A SLS Multi-Provider Agreement will be established and will allow the Council and the CCG to engage with suitably qualified Providers who will be able to deliver flexible services which will empower Service Users to live as independently as possible in their own home; this may include 1:1 support to access community activities and social activities. The majority of the care and support required through this SLS Provider Agreement will be Regulated Activity, requiring the Provider to be appropriately registered with the Care Quality Commission. There may be occasions where Non-Regulated Activities are required. Providers should assume they will be providing Regulated Activity. It is the responsibility of the Provider to ensure that they have checked the Care Quality Commission Regulation Guidance regarding what is Regulated Activity. Further details regarding the Services required are set out in the General Specification (see the procurement documents) and in the Terms and Conditions (see the procurement documents) The value of the Services to be awarded through this EMP is estimated to be approximately PS7,000,000.00 (seven million pounds) per annum. In order to meet its requirements the Council has divided the Services into two overarching Lots under which are seven distinct Categories. The Lots determine whether the requirement is to be delivered as floating support for people in their own homes or whether it is to be delivered to a number of Service Users based in shared accommodation. The distinct Categories mirror Service User Primary Care needs which allows Applicants (economic operators/tenderers) to identify and apply against the appropriate categories for their specialisms and ensures that the Council extends invitations to tender only to those qualified and capable Candidates with the correct experience and expertise for that Service User. Category Description: 1 - Learning Disabilities; borderline, mild, moderate to severe including profound and multiple disabilities and/or Autism and/or Mental Health with Behaviours that challenge Providers. 2 - Autism including those who identify as having Autism and those on the autistic spectrum such as Asperger's (self-diagnosed or diagnosed by a professional). 3 - Mental Health; enduring and severe 4 - Personality Disorder 5 - Complex physical and/or sensory impairment, long term health condition 6 - Acquired Brain Injury 7 - Persistent or Chronic Drug and alcohol dependencies Following the initial Request to Participate deadline, subsequent Requests to participate can be submitted at any time throughout the duration of the EMP but please note that evaluation of submitted Requests to Participate are only planned to take place on a quarterly basis. Additional information: Stated values are estimates and the contracting authority shall not be bound by such estimates nor should these be interpreted as an undertaking to purchase any services. This EMP is anticipated to run from 01 April 2022 to 31 March 2027 with the Council reserving the right to extend for up to five (5) further twelve (12) month periods, up to 31 March 2032.
