Summary of the contracting process

The Stirling Council is seeking expressions of interest for a supported housing service targeting vulnerable young people aged primarily between 18 and 26, with options to accommodate younger individuals as necessary. This initiative falls within the planning stage of the procurement process, with a deadline for supplier questionnaires set for 30 September 2020. The service will be located in the Stirling area, aimed at enhancing existing provisions for care leavers, in line with various strategic plans of the council. Interested parties are invited to review the Prior Information Notice (PIN) to prepare for a potential competitive tender in the future.

This procurement opportunity presents significant potential for businesses specialising in supported housing and care services, particularly those with experience in accommodating young people and providing additional support. Companies with the capability to deliver warm, welcoming environments that comply with national standards, while fostering a nurturing atmosphere, will be particularly well-suited to compete. The initiative aims not only to meet immediate accommodation needs but also to contribute to the long-term independence of young care leavers, ultimately fostering business growth within the community.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Stirling Council is seeking to establish a supported housing service (including accommodation) for care leavers aged primarily between 18 and 26 that will augment our existing provisions for other age groups of care experienced young people. The service should also have the ability to provide accommodation for those who are aged between 16 and 18 should the need arise however this would only be anticipated to be very occasionally. Our strategic approach is detailed in a number of key documents including the Stirling Plan, the Stirling Children's Services Plan, the Stirling Corporate Parenting Strategy, the Multi Agency Children's Strategic Plan and, most specifically, the Accommodation for Vulnerable Young People Strategy. These documents outline our aims to ensure that care leavers are not placed in unsuitable or expensive accommodation and that the provision of alternative accommodation will better meet their needs whilst also being more cost effective. The supported housing service will be part of a joined-up approach to the provision of accommodation that will help our young people as part of a phased move towards independence and ultimately achieving their own tenancy. The supported housing service will provide accommodation for a minimum of five young people and may also provide care and support as part of this provision. Where a supported housing service provides accommodation only, the Council will provide care and support either directly or purchased from the Scotland Excel Care & Support framework (ref: 1318). The Council is open to a range of potential approaches to providing accommodation and these should: - Ensure that appropriate accommodation is available for care leavers. - Provide accommodation that is warm and welcoming, that provides a nurturing and therapeutic environment. - Comply with the national Health and Social Care Standards - http://www.newcarestandards.scot/ - Meet legislative requirements under Continuing Care legislation. - Meet Corporate Parenting responsibilities. - Reduce the use of short-term Bed & Breakfast accommodation and externally commissioned supported housing whilst minimising delays to residential placements ending. Questionnaire Suppliers who are capable of providing a supported housing service in whole or part as described above are invite to complete the short questionnaire included with this Prior Information Notice which has been designed to identify market capacity and approach.. This Prior Information Notice is for market research purposes only at this time to inform potential future commissioning activity. Completed questionnaires should be returned to the address included with the document no later than 30 September 2020 with the reference 'Supported Accommodation PIN' as the subject of the email to allow responses to be processed, collated and analysed.
