This procurement falls under the social services category with an estimated value of £80,000,000. Interested organisations are invited to submit an expression of interest by 31st January 2023, as the Council is developing a framework agreement for domiciliary care services for adults with specific needs. The procurement stage is currently in the planning phase, and the estimated date for the contract notices is subject to change based on market testing. This tender by the City & County of Swansea presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the social services sector to provide supported living services for adults with mental health needs. Organisations that can effectively operate supported living projects at designated properties or provide individual care packages in shared housing would be well-suited to compete in this procurement process. Prospective providers are expected to share the Council's vision of offering outcome-focused, person-centred care that enables individuals to lead fulfilled and independent lives. With a focus on recovery and individual strengths, this tender encourages innovative service models that prioritise independence and well-being. ## Notice Swansea Council has published this Prior Information Notice (PIN) to inform organisations of its intentions in respect of supported living services for adults with mental health needs. The Council is working in partnership with the Swansea Bay University Health Board with the intention of establishing a Framework Agreement for providers with the capacity and expertise to deliver care and support to people with mental health needs. There will be two Lots on the Framework Agreement:- 1) The first will be for service providers who can effectively operate supported living projects at designated properties. The Framework Agreement will facilitate the award of a block contract for each project. The aim of these projects will be to help people to recover and live independent lives, but it will primarily be achieved via the provision of 'support' as opposed to 'care'. Please note that successful providers will be expected to have the capability to undertake some care tasks, particularly around medication management and compliance, as and when this is required. 2) The second Lot will be used to commission services for people with greater care needs. The Framework will enable the Partners to commission individual packages of care and support for people living in their own home or shared housing. Every individual has different needs and the service should build on their unique strengths. However, the service provider must have the capacity to undertake personal care tasks where this is required and may, in some cases, be expected to keep people safe by enforcing the conditions of a lawful deprivation and or a Community Treatment or Guardianship Order. Prospective providers do not necessarily need to have sourced accommodation to be on the Framework Agreement, but they will need to share the view of the Council and Health Board that: - people should be able to have access to modern supported living services that enable them to lead fulfilled and independent lives; - people prefer to be less, rather than more, dependent; - services should be outcome-focused; - services should be delivered in a manner which is planned and pro-active, and ensure recovery is not forgotten or displaced; - people should be central to how they receive services as they are more likely to progress when it is something that they have chosen to do and something that matters to them; and - it is necessary for people to take proportionate risks if they are to progress. Supported living is not a prescriptive model which means services can look quite different in their appearance. The Council is open to consider innovative models. ### Lot Information Supported Living Projects at Designated Properties This lot will be for service providers who can effectively operate supported living projects at designated properties. The Framework Agreement will facilitate the award of a block contract for each project. The aim of these projects will be to help people to recover and live independent lives, but it will primarily be achieved via the provision of 'support' as opposed to 'care'. Please note that successful providers will be expected to have the capability to undertake some care tasks, particularly around medication management and compliance, as and when this is required. Individual packages of care and support for people living in their own home or shared housing The second Lot will be used to commission services for people with greater care needs. The Framework will enable the Partners to commission individual packages of care and support for people living in their own home or shared housing. Every individual has different needs and the service should build on their unique strengths. However, the service provider must have the capacity to undertake personal care tasks where this is required and may, in some cases, be expected to keep people safe by enforcing the conditions of a lawful deprivation and or a Community Treatment or Guardianship Order. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/000433-2023 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 6 Jan 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 16 Apr 2023 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £80,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CITY & COUNTY OF SWANSEA | | Locality | SWANSEA | | Post town | Swansea | | Postcode | SA1 3SN | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL4 Mid and South West Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL43 Swansea | | Local authority | Swansea | | Electoral ward | Waterfront | | Westminster constituency | Swansea West | | Delivery location | TLL18 Swansea | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85300000 - Social work and related services - 85310000 - Social work services - 85311000 - Social work services with accommodation - 85320000 - Social services ## Release History - 6 Jan 2023 at 15:38 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/000433-2023 ## Notice URLs - http://www.swansea.gov.uk/dobusiness - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/Search_AuthProfile.aspx?ID=AA0254 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
