This tender, classified under the "Other community, social and personal services" category, is currently in the active planning stage, with submissions due by 24 June 2022. The framework aims to supply supported accommodation for young people requiring assistance, particularly in the D2N2 area, which includes Derby, Derbyshire, Nottingham, and Nottinghamshire. The contract value is approximately £65.25 million, reflecting the significant commitment to improving outcomes for care leavers and those in care. This opportunity presents a robust avenue for growth for businesses specialising in social care and accommodation services. Companies that have established capacity to provide supported accommodation can effectively compete for this contract. Bidders should be prepared to demonstrate their capability in meeting the individual needs of young people, providing intensive and visiting support, and ensuring high-quality, safe environments. The structure of the framework allows for multiple lots, enabling flexibility in service provision, which could further benefit organisations looking to expand their service offerings within the public sector. ## Notice Derby City Council (the Commissioner) is undertaking this procurement process on behalf of D2N2 to establish a flexible Framework for the supply of Supported Accommodation for Young People. The subject matter of this procurement process relates to the delivery of services which are listed to in Chapter 3, Section 7 to the PCR 2015 regulations. As such the full regime set out in the regulations will not apply to the award of the Framework Contracts. Consequently, the procurement process adopted by the Commissioners has been developed in accordance with Regulation 76 of the regulations and in particular in accordance with the fundamental public procurement principles of transparency and equal treatment. For the avoidance of doubt this means that the Commissioner has not adopted an open procedure, framework (as defined in the Regulations) for the undertaking of this procurement process. Overview of Requirement The Framework will run alongside four block contracts separately commissioned by each Local Authority within D2N2. This Framework will be used to commission placements when a block contract is unable to meet a Young Person's specific requirements or has reached full capacity. Supported accommodation placements will improve Young Person's skills in the following areas: * Sustaining a tenancy * Managing a budget * Engaging in the local community * Understanding how to access further support * Gaining independence skills The Framework will provide high quality, good value, supported accommodation for D2N2's Young People in care and care leavers. The Framework will require the Contracting Authority and the Provider to work in together to ensure supported accommodation is available when required and meets each Young Person's individual needs. The key objectives of this Service shall be to: * Provide Young People with accommodation and support at the point of need. * Provide supported accommodation where Young People feel safe, are protected from harm and safeguarding risks, and understand the consequences of risk-taking behaviour. * Prepare Young People for sustainable independence through the provision of individually tailored support in high quality accommodation. * Provide well trained Support Workers who will form strong, positive relationships with Young People to support them on their journey towards independence. * Provide stable and consistent accommodation and support to prevent frequent placement moves and the unplanned departure of Young People from their placement. * Improve value for money by reducing the Contracting Authority's reliance on high-cost individual placements. * Achieve positive outcomes for Young People. Please see Section 2.4 of this specification for further details. Bidders MUST already have the Accommodation requirements in place at the time of submitting their Bid. The service and accommodation requirements are further detailed further in Part 3 Specification of the ITT documents. FRAMEWORK USERS (D2N2) The following Contracting Authorities will be able to call-off from the Framework: Derby City Council, Derbyshire County Council, Nottingham City Council and Nottinghamshire County Council.
