The purpose is to assess current and future market capacity for the provision of bespoke Learning Disability Supported Living Accommodation, specifically for service users with complex behaviours. The industry category is Health and Social Work Services, and the region of delivery is the UK. The engagement, which includes a Prior Information Notice (PIN), aims to gather insights up until 3pm on Tuesday, 17 September 2024. This is not a call for tender and is focused on capacity scoping to potentially inform a future procurement process. This tender provides a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those experienced in managing complex behavioural needs and supported living environments. Companies that can offer 24/7 bespoke facilities with specialised 2:1 staffing will find this engagement particularly relevant. The NHSCT is interested in discussing current and future capacity with potential providers, making this an excellent chance for businesses to showcase their capabilities and potentially influence future procurement specifications. This opportunity is particularly suited for organisations with a strong track record in specialised health and social care services. ## Notice This is a Prior Information Notice (PIN) by way of an Early Market Engagement scoping for the NHSCT to ascertain potential current capacity and potential future capacity in the market for the provision of a bespoke Learning Disability Supported Living Accommodation for a Service User with complex behaviours. ### Lot Information Lot 1 This is a PIN by the NHSCT for an Early Market Engagement (NOT a Call for Tender) to ascertain potential current capacity in the market AND potential future capacity for the provision of bespoke Learning Disability Supported Living Accommodation for a complex service user who presents with challenging behaviour and attachment difficulties. Given complexity, care must be provided in a 24/7 bespoke facility with anticipated 2:1 staffing. The NHSCT is announcing this PIN as it wishes to meet and discuss current and future capacity with potential providers interested in the delivery of the service. Further more specific details on this service would be provided at these meetings. Additional information: This is not a Call for Tender and there is no guarantee any procurement process will be run. Any interest shown does not constitute a commitment to participate in a procurement exercise.
