Lot Information

Lot 1

Aberdeen City Council require a Framework of providers who will be able to deliver high intensity care and support in specialised services for adults with complex care needs. Complex Care is recognised as terminology for people with a learning disability but other groups with complexity of need may also require some additional environmental factors to be considered and more specialist support to be provided, such as mental health or brain injury. Providers may also come with options to work collaboratively with the Partnership to design and develop innovative accommodation-based care solutions. They may have a commitment to developing capital portfolios or have existing landlord or developer partners able to identify flexible and sustainable housing options. Any accommodation proposals must be in line with the Environmental Specification contained in the Aberdeen City Health & Social Care Partnership's Complex Care Market Position Statement and include opportunities for Technology Enable Care (TEC).. The estimated contract value and contract duration are based on a contract length of 5 years plus an optional 2 year extension (7 years).

Complex Care is recognised as terminology for people with a learning disability but other groups with complexity of need may also require some additional environmental factors to be considered and more specialist support to be provided, such as mental health or brain injury. Providers may also come with options to work collaboratively with the Partnership to design and develop innovative accommodation-based care solutions. They may have a commitment to developing capital portfolios or have existing landlord or developer partners able to identify flexible and sustainable housing options. Any accommodation proposals must be in line with the Environmental Specification contained in the Aberdeen City Health & Social Care Partnership's Complex Care Market Position Statement and include opportunities for Technology Enable Care (TEC).. The estimated contract value and contract duration are based on a contract length of 5 years plus an optional 2 year extension (7 years).",

Please state current turnover (if contract value is over 50% of reported turnover, further discussion will be had internally with the option to reject). 3. If you are under no obligation to publish accounts on Companies House and/or do not have a comprehensive credit rating then provide audited financial accounts for the previous two years. Both quick and current ratios should be a minimum of 1:1.5 for the two successive years. Bidders whose ratios do not meet the minimum criteria will be rejected. Bidders who can provide audited accounts but chose not to do so shall be rejected. 4. Bidders who have been trading for less than one year and cannot provide audited accounts must submit the cash flow for the current year and a letter from the bank outlining the current cash and credit position for the current year and subsequent year. This will be subject to internal discussion with the option to reject. 5. If bidder still does not meet the financial criteria for consideration but has a parent company that does, the firm may still be eligible for consideration where their submission is supported by a parent company guarantee. Bidders will be required to provide examples that demonstrate that they have the relevant experience to deliver the services as described. A minimum of two examples will be required.
