The procurement is at the active tender stage, with submissions due by 14th June 2022. This contract, expected to last for an initial five years with potential extensions, will serve individuals with varying support needs and is located in the Neath Abbey area of Neath Port Talbot, UK. Bidders must register on the eTenderwales portal and demonstrate relevant experience in supported living models. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in social and health services, particularly those equipped to provide supported living and domiciliary care. Providers with experience in core and cluster service models will find themselves particularly well-suited, allowing them to expand their operations and client base. The project encourages collaboration among consortia, enhancing the potential for growth and innovation in service delivery in line with community needs. ## Notice Refer below to section II.2.4 - Description of the Procurement ### Lot Information Lot 1 Neath Port Talbot Council invite tenders for the delivery of a Core and Cluster Service for up to six people in the Neath Abbey area of the borough, with the possibility of further expansion in the cluster element of the service to wider clusters in the locality. These individuals will have a range of needs in line with their respective pen pictures but may include individuals with mental health, physical disability and learning disability needs but would nonetheless be individuals who, it is felt, would be able to live independently, in time, with varying levels of support. The Core and Cluster Service model aims to offer more intensive support (at the 'core') while at the same time offering less intensive 'domiciliary care' type care support, including floating support for people living in the community in "the Cluster" elements of the Service. In this case the Core will be a bungalow for up to two people with an office area, offering a 24 hours presence and the 'Cluster' being four self-contained flats for up to four individuals or couples. Over time this Cluster of four may be expanded to include further clusters in the community which are also served by the base located at the Core, and when this is so, any additional clusters will also form a part of this Agreement. Bidders should note that on contract award only the Core element of two individuals will require support, and its currently felt the Cluster elements of four plus requiring support around the first quarter of 2023/24. It should be noted that there are no current plans for the provision of Housing Related Support funding through the Housing Support Grant (HSG), although it is recognised that current or subsequent Service Users may require this support at some future time, so it is felt that Tenderers should be familiar with the delivery of Housing Related Support. The Council reserves the right to include Housing Related Support as part of the delivery of the service at any future time. The Registered Social Landlord (RSL) for the property is First Choice Housing and the Provider will be required to maintain a Management Agreement with First Choice for the duration of the Agreement. As this is a new Service, there will be no TUPE requirements and the successful Tenderer will therefore be required to either recruit new Staff or to redeploy existing staff to the Service to ensure a fully functional service from day one of the Agreement. Refer to service specification in the ITT for further details. The contract will be for an initial period of 5 years with the option to extend by period or periods not exceeding a further 60 months. There are no Lot requirements. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/012687-2022 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning, Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 May 2022 | | Submission deadline | 14 Jun 2022 | | Future notice date | 25 Feb 2022 | | 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 | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NEATH PORT TALBOT COUNTY BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | PORT TALBOT | | Post town | Swansea | | Postcode | SA13 1PJ | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL4 Mid and South West Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL44 Neath Port Talbot | | Local authority | Neath Port Talbot | | Electoral ward | Aberavon | | Westminster constituency | Aberafan Maesteg | | Delivery location | TLL17 Bridgend and Neath Port Talbot | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 85300000 - Social work and related services - 85311000 - Social work services with accommodation - 85320000 - Social services ## Release History - 16 May 2022 at 15:58 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/012687-2022 - 22 Nov 2021 at 10:34 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/029010-2021 ## Notice URLs - http://www.npt.gov.uk - https://etenderwales.bravosolution.co.uk/home.html - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/Search_AuthProfile.aspx?ID=AA0274 - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=119011 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
