Summary of the contracting process

Borough of Telford & Wrekin is procuring specialist accommodation and support for one adult with a mild learning disability and complex support needs, preparing for discharge from a specialist inpatient setting. The service is social work with accommodation, covering the provision of suitable housing alongside individualised care and support. The person is a 51-year-old man who communicates verbally and is independently mobile. The required support includes positive behaviour support, a consistent staffing team, help to maintain independence and access community opportunities, and robust risk management. Providers will need to support complex behavioural and safeguarding needs in a community setting, with accommodation and staffing arrangements suited to the individual’s risks and support requirements.

The process has reached tender: the council invited offers through a selective restricted procedure under the Provider Selection Regime Most Suitable Provider Process. There is one lot. The estimated value is £100,000. Offers must be submitted electronically in English by 14 September 2026 at 12:00 noon. The procurement uses a document participation fee, and providers submit through the council’s electronic tendering system. Evaluation includes suitability requirements concerning confidentiality, relevant experience and the ability to support individuals with complex behavioural presentations, community risk management requirements and safeguarding considerations. The opportunity concerns a single-person placement, rather than a broad accommodation framework or multiple-service contract.

This opportunity suits specialist care and supported-accommodation providers able to combine accommodation with intensive, person-centred support for an adult with learning disabilities. Strong candidates will have demonstrable experience managing complex behavioural presentations, safeguarding considerations and risks associated with community living. The service requires positive behaviour support, robust risk assessment and management, reliable staffing continuity, and the ability to promote independence rather than provide unnecessarily restrictive care. Providers should also be capable of helping the individual access community opportunities while maintaining safe and consistent support arrangements. A suitable organisation is likely to have established operational systems for specialist placements, appropriately trained staff, and experience supporting discharge from inpatient settings into community accommodation. A signed confidentiality declaration is required to participate.
