## Notice

The Portsmouth City Council ('the council') council is planning to establish an open framework for the provision of supported living and community support services (floating support) based in the Portsmouth area. It is intended to be used for the provision of most supported living services for people with a learning disability funded by Portsmouth City Council. The 'open Framework' will allow for flexibility for both the council and providers and the ability to work more dynamically. The framework will be operational for 8 years. Providers will be given the opportunity to join the framework at least once during the term as the open framework will not be closed to market access for longer than five years. The council will have the ability to re-open annually as a minimum, 5-years as a maximum. The council may choose to re-open one, two or all lots. The council will be establishing three lots under the new framework. - Lot 1: Standard supported living services for people with learning disabilities (10 providers) - Lot 2: Complex supported living services for people with learning disabilities (10 providers) - Lot 3: Floating support services for people with learning disabilities (5 providers) The council is targeting to have awarded the contract on 3 October 2023 to allow for framework commencement on 1 November 2023. Framework call-offs will commence following the establishment of the framework with 3-4 call-offs occurring each year through years 1-4. The framework is valued IRO ?15,000,000 per annum, ?120,000,000 over the maximum 8-year term. This is based on currented contracted activity and new supported living accommodation expected to be introduced during the framework term.
