The procurement stage is currently at the planning phase, with a future notice date of 19th December 2022 for the formal contract notice. This tender opportunity can benefit businesses that specialise in social work services with accommodation, particularly those experienced in managing individual service funds for vulnerable residents.

The London Living Wage and TUPE regulations will apply to this contract, emphasising social value and fair employment practices as key priorities for potential bidders. ## Notice This is a Prior Information Notice (PIN) for information only. It is not a formal invitation to tender. You will need to respond to the contract notice in order to be considered for this contract. The purpose of this PIN is to maximise transparency and competition for the upcoming contract notice. All details in this PIN are subject to being updated or changed in the final contract notice. Dingley Road is a supported living scheme for people with learning disabilities consisting of ten self-contained flats within a general needs block as well as access to a shared communal space. The London Borough of Islington (LBI) has nomination rights for the ten flats allocated for supported living and the support is commissioned using a 'core and flexi' model. This means that LBI pays a fixed 'core' fee per person as well as a flexible rate paid as an Individual Service Fund (ISF) to meet service user's individual care and support needs. The proposed new contract duration for this service will be for six years with break clause options available for the council to terminate the contract annually after year two. The current core contract value for the service is PS177,040 per annum. Therefore, the maximum estimated total cost of the core contract for Islington Council will be PS1,062,240. In addition to the core annual budget the successful provider will be responsible for managing the individual service funds (ISFs) for residents residing at the scheme. The current annual budget for ISF's for residents residing at the scheme is PS109,565. However, the amount paid to the provider is based on the actual need of the client and the ISF budget will be subject to change (both up and down) according to subsequent changes in need for each client. The ISF (lead) provider can charge up to PS20 per month per client to manage their ISF. The allowance for this is already calculated within the current ISF budget for residents residing at the scheme of PS109,565. ### Lot Information Lot 1 This re-procurement of an existing service will be carried out using a competitive tender process.
