The engagement period concludes on 27th May 2020, with interested parties encouraged to complete a market testing questionnaire to inform commissioning decisions. The service seeks to provide essential support for hospital discharge, as well as ongoing care, signalling a significant opportunity for businesses in the health and social care sector. The relevant industry category for this tender falls under social work and related services. This procurement presents valuable opportunities for businesses that specialise in care provision, particularly those experienced in housing support for vulnerable individuals. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to engage, given their potential to meet the needs of the target population effectively. Providers offering high levels of staffing and tailored support services, particularly for individuals in crisis situations, will be well-suited to compete for this contract. Collaboration with housing providers is also essential, as the successful bidder must develop housing solutions aligned with their care services. ## Notice Please download the attached questionnaire for full information. Brighton & Hove City Council is exploring the commissioning of a new Supported Living Service for 4-5 adults with Learning Disabilities, Autism and complex needs in the Sussex area. The service will support discharge from hospital, prevention of hospital admission and enable people to move back to the area. It is envisaged that the service will support people over the longer term but will support move on where this is appropriate. Individuals who use the service will need to have their own space, access to 24hour staff support and access to high levels of staffing such as 5:1 support, for some individuals at times of exceptional crisis. The provider would need to be experienced in supporting people with such needs, provide an excellent level of Positive Behaviour Support including functional assessments and to work closely with the local authority Clinical and Assessment team. The commission will be in relation to the care and support provision. We are exploring an application with NHSE for a capital bid to support the property development with a Housing Provider. The Provider would need to work in partnership (under a Service Level Agreement) with the Housing Provider in the development of the property. We are keen to engage with the provider market regarding this development to inform our commissioning decisions. It would be appreciated if you could complete the following questions and return to: ContractsUnit.AdminTeam@brighton-hove.gov.uk by 27th May 2020. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2663a048-ade3-4767-b7fd-8cc36135bf75 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 May 2020 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 27 May 2020 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BRIGHTON & HOVE CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | HOVE | | Post town | Brighton | | Postcode | BN3 3BQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ2 Surrey, East and West Sussex | | ITL 3 | TLJ21 Brighton and Hove | | Local authority | Brighton and Hove | | Electoral ward | Central Hove | | Westminster constituency | Hove and Portslade | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85300000 - Social work and related services ## Release History - 12 May 2020 at 15:26 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2663a048-ade3-4767-b7fd-8cc36135bf75 - 12 May 2020 at 15:25 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2663a048-ade3-4767-b7fd-8cc36135bf75 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2663a048-ade3-4767-b7fd-8cc36135bf75 12th May 2020 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/66c7bb49-9f9c-4a0b-88a0-395ca9aab5bd Market testing questionnaire ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
