This initiative is aimed at assessing market interest for providing supported living and care for individuals with complex learning disabilities in the Hampshire area. The engagement period is set to conclude on 21 December 2020, at 23:59:59. Following this, a formal open procedure tender is anticipated to be published in February 2021, with bid submissions due in April 2021 and the award of contracts projected for June 2021. This request for information presents significant opportunities for growth for businesses operating within the health and social care sector, particularly those specialising in supported living and care solutions. Companies that focus on providing tailored care for individuals with learning disabilities, alongside those experienced in housing solutions for vulnerable cohorts, would be well-suited to participate. Engaging in this tender process can pave the way for providers to establish contracts of at least three years, expanding their service offerings and client base within the community. ## Notice Hampshire Commissioners are in the process of developing a strategic market position statement to share with the market in 2021, to include the anticipated need for supported housing for people with complex learning disability needs, incorporating those with a co morbidity of mental health and autism. This will indicate the types of housing required, for whom, when and where. However to meet current known requirements we are seeking feedback on specific proposals in advance of any formal tender. You have been invited to participate in a simple request for information to help the Commissioner assess market interest in either one or both of the requirements. This is not the beginning of a Tender exercise, nor is it a firm commitment to Tender for these requirements. Your feedback at this point will not have a bearing on any future Tender submissions you may wish to offer at a later date. You will not be disadvantaged if you choose not to respond to this RFI but it will be helpful to understand your views at this stage, so you are encouraged to respond. Requirement One: care and support only - three lots The Commissioner is considering undertaking a formal open procedure tender to secure contracts of a minimum 3 year duration with one or more providers, to deliver supported living and care in the Hampshire area to up to 16 people with learning disabilities currently living in the community in their own self-contained accommodation as tenants and who have complex needs. The current indicative timeline is: February 2021 Publish Tender April 2021 Receipt of Bid Submissions June 2021 Award Letter(s) Sent July 2021 Mobilisation October 2021 New Contract Service Commence Requirement Two: housing solutions, care, support -two lots The Commissioner is considering undertaking a formal open procedure tender to secure contracts of a minimum 3-year duration with one or more providers, with capability for care and housing solutions for two cohorts of people. People have been assessed as in need of supported living accommodation with 24-hour care and support. We are seeking feedback on how this could be provided and what would be a feasible timescale to deliver this. Interested parties are invited to participate in a simple request for information to help the Commissioner assess market interest in either one or both of the requirements. This is not the beginning of a Tender exercise, nor is it a firm commitment to Tender for these requirements.
