This procurement, published on 9th August 2024, falls under the industry category of "Social work services with accommodation" and seeks to provide specialist children's residential care. The services are to be delivered within Bromley or its neighbouring boroughs, and the tender period ends on 20th September 2024. Key dates include the contract period starting on 1st December 2024 and ending on 30th November 2029. The total value of the procurement is estimated to range between £1,000,000 and £2,000,000 GBP. Applicants must submit their expressions of interest by the given deadline and meet specific criteria outlined by the Council, such as providing specialist therapeutic residential care for young people aged 10-18 years. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses experienced in therapeutic residential care. With at least five years of relevant experience and a focus on high-risk, vulnerable young people, providers can benefit from long-term, exclusive use arrangements at preferential rates. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are especially encouraged to participate, potentially expanding their service offerings and strengthening their market position. Organisations capable of co-designing a service tailored to the Council's needs will find this an ideal opportunity to leverage their expertise and ensure continuous, high-quality care for young residents. ## Notice The London Borough of Bromley (the Council) is seeking to commission one or more innovative solutions to deliver specialist children's residential provision, which may include a partnership arrangement or capital investment. To summarise, the objectives of this provision are as follows: * Reduce the overall spend on placement costs. We aim to reduce weekly placement costs for a therapeutic residential by a minimum of PS1,500 - PS2,000 per week per child. * Having a provision which is identified for the exclusive use of Bromley, will improve care planning for children and young people ensuring the young people are provided with safe and secure placements when they are most in need. * Children and young people will benefit from the continuity of services including education, health, and children's social care support. * There will be a significant reduction in staff and family travel costs and time. As such, we are seeking an experienced provider of specialist therapeutic residential care for young people, to co-design the provision in line with the needs of the local authority, resulting in exclusive use of any provision for a set term at preferential rates. The provision(s) must have a minimum of three beds and be run independently of the Council. To account for the specific needs of different categories of users, including disadvantaged and vulnerable groups, the Council requires that the proposed provision(s) are within the London Borough of Bromley or neighbouring borough/counties. Subsequently, for consideration of this project, we are seeking Expressions of Interest from providers that can satisfy the Mandatory Criteria below. 1 The provider must be able to deliver specialist therapeutic residential care for young people between the ages of 10-18 (or slightly under 10 years old in exceptional circumstances) 2 The interested party must be seeking to develop residential provision in Bromley or within an immediate neighbouring/ bordering local authority to Bromley. 3 The provider must co-design the provision with the Council in line with the needs of the Council and offer exclusive use of any resulting provision for a set term at preferential rates.
