## Summary

The South Gloucestershire Council is inviting tenders for a "Community Based Support Service" under the health and social work services category. This procurement is currently in the tender stage, with bids due by 3rd July 2017. The contract, valued at £59 million, is set to commence on 9th April 2018 and will run for four years, with a possibility of extension for an additional three years. The services are aimed at providing community-based support, specifically for social care users, across six geographic areas in the South West region of England.

This opportunity presents significant potential for businesses involved in community-based support services, particularly those offering home care or one-on-one support for individuals needing assistance. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this tender especially suitable, as it encourages diverse providers to participate. Companies that specialise in non-specialist support services for social care and that can deliver effective community engagement would be well-positioned to compete for this contract.

## Notice

Tenders are invited from providers who wish to provide Community Based Support Services within 6 geographical areas called Clusters on behalf of South Gloucestershire Council from 9th April 2018. The contract is for a four year period, but there is an option for the Council to extend the Contract period for up to three further years. This specification is for community based support which is support in a person's home or 1:1 support to access the community, including 24 hour live-in support, but excludes specialist Learning Difficulties and Mental Health support services. However, as with the previous operating model, where people's LD or MH conditions are mild enough such that universal services can support their needs rather than specialist support services, such cases will fit within the commissioned services. Services commissioned within this contract will be for service users and their carers who meet the criteria for Social care, or a Health funded service for Continuing Health Care.
