The tender, titled "Floating Support Services for People with Mental Health and Dual Diagnosis (Substance Misuse) Needs in Leicestershire," is currently in the Tender stage, with an end date for submissions set for 15 February 2022. The procurement follows an open procedure and provides a total contract value of £1,400,000, with the contract commencing on 6 June 2022 and concluding on 5 June 2024. Interested participants should note that a virtual Bidder's Event is scheduled for 11 January 2022 to provide further details. This tender offers significant opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) engaged in health and social care services. Businesses that specialise in providing support services for individuals with mental health challenges, housing assistance, or recovery programmes would be particularly well-suited to compete. The initiative aligns with the council's objective of enhancing community support and independence for vulnerable individuals, thus creating a conducive environment for innovative service solutions in the sector. ## Notice Leicestershire County Council are procuring a new Floating Support Service for people with mental health and dual diagnosis (substance misuse) needs in Leicestershire. As part of our Strategic Plan 2018-2022, Leicestershire County Council (LCC) is committed to ensuring that no working age adult, with mental health as their primary need, be placed in permanent residential care. Through the provision of a flexible 'step up/step down' model of support, the Floating Support Service will aim to promote and encourage independence, assisting people to maintain their own tenancies, access the correct level of support with the aim of reducing the need for residential care and/or readmission to hospital. This new service will look to: * Support people to live independently and safely through the provision of support in their own homes and the community. * Enable people to recover and develop the capacity to live more independently in their communities. * Develop the capacity of people to maintain their recovery and their ability to live as independently as possible. * Increasing people's access to community assets and circles of support. The Provider will ensure that people with mental health needs are key partners in shaping the service and work with them, their Carer's, and Commissioners to adapt the service to meet changing needs in an appropriate way. The Provider should use a range of methods for delivering the Service to maximise coverage and capacity and to meet people's needs in a personalised way. Service provision will mainly consist of 1:1 support and there is an expectation that the successful Provider will devise a mechanism for the measurement of aggregating and reporting outcomes in the following areas: * Meaningful Activity * Belonging and Relationships * Choice, Control and Autonomy * Hope * Self-Perception * Wellbeing * Physical Health All the above outcome areas are accompanied with further detail in the specification, released as document two within the tender pack. Please note that the virtual Bidder's Event will be held on 11th January 2022. Please see the Invitation to Tender Document 1 for further details, including how to register. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/24d4efad-55d3-43b2-84ee-0ef29508f314 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 5 Jan 2022 | | Submission deadline | 15 Feb 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 5 Jun 2022 - 5 Jun 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,400,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LEICESTERSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | LEICESTER | | Post town | Leicester | | Postcode | LE3 8RA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF22 Leicestershire CC and Rutland | | Local authority | Blaby | | Electoral ward | Glenfield Faire | | Westminster constituency | Mid Leicestershire | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 5 Jan 2022 at 11:53 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/24d4efad-55d3-43b2-84ee-0ef29508f314 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/24d4efad-55d3-43b2-84ee-0ef29508f314 5th January 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=00aa2924-c84e-ec11-810e-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - https://www.eastmidstenders.org/index.html ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
