This opportunity falls under the social work services category, specifically aimed at providers offering support for individuals with learning disabilities and mental health issues. The tender process is currently in the Tender stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 22nd April 2022. The framework will commence on 1st July 2022 and will last for four years, covering various delivery addresses within the UK. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in supported living services to expand their operations within the healthcare sector. Companies that provide tailored support solutions for individuals with disabilities or mental health challenges will find themselves well-positioned to compete, particularly given the framework's annual reopening for future providers. With a commitment from TSDFT to potentially increase hourly rates to enhance provider viability, interested businesses should prepare to leverage this opportunity effectively. ## Notice Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust (TSDFT) are publishing an opportunity to all supported living providers, both current and new, for a placement onto the TSDFT Supported Living framework for Torbay. The Invitation To Tender (ITT) will be opened on the 11th of March 2022 via the NHS South West e-Tendering portal (EU-Supply). The term of the Framework is 4 years and is planned to commence on 01 July 2022. This encompasses provision for both 1:1 and shared hours covering a range of support needs including those with Leaning Difficulties (LD) and Mental Health (MH) issues. Framework providers will receive the following benefits: * Priority on referral volumes * Preferential hourly rates * Financial cover for the first 4 weeks of any vacancies Pricing will be provided by the Authority by the 1st of April of every year following an annual price review. The current base tariffs for 2021/22 are: Day rate (07.00-22.00) PS16.63 per hour (105 hours per week) Waking Night rate (22.00-07.00) PS16.63 per hour (63 hours per week) Sleeping night rates (22.00-07.00) PS11.09 per hour (63 hours per week) Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust (TSDFT) and Torbay Council have committed, within a reasonable time frame, to increase the hourly rates from those advertised, in order to improve our Supported Living provider's viability in a rapidly evolving market. TSDFT appreciate that the new approach to the Framework and application process may require additional time and support to ensure that providers are able to make the most of this opportunity and so the application period for providers to generate and submit their application documents has been extended from 4 weeks to 6 weeks. The expected timeline for applicants to submit their response will be from 11th March 2022 until 22nd April 2022. The Framework will be reopened at least annually to ensure the opportunity is available to future Supported Living providers.
