The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with an estimated value of £10,000,000. The tender period is open until 23 April 2018, with the contract expected to commence on 3 September 2018. This service will cater to 35 individuals, focusing on person-centred support to enhance independence. Interested parties are encouraged to participate in a pre-tender event on 26 March 2018 in Taunton, Somerset, and register their attendance by 23 March 2018. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health and social work services sector, particularly those that specialise in learning disabilities. Both established providers already operating in the Mendip area and new entrants willing to offer innovative and high-quality services will find this an attractive prospect. Providers claiming to deliver excellent community support and care are particularly well-suited to compete in this tender, especially given the emphasis on improving individuals' independence and the potential implications of TUPE regulations for existing staff. ## Notice Somerset County Council is working in partnership with a provider of a Learning Disability service in Somerset to transfer their whole service to a new, forward thinking provider. The service to be transferred in its entirety and would be an ideal additional provision to a provider already in the area or a new provider looking to provide excellent support in Somerset. The current provider will maintain the landlord function of the LD Supported Living accommodation. This service operates mainly in and around the Mendip area, delivering person centred support, with a focus on increasing peoples independence through care and support to 35 individuals. There is a mix of Supported Living Accommodation as well as a Domiciliary Outreach Service.
