This procurement falls under the services category and is currently at the planning stage. The Council, located at Council Headquarters, Newtown St Boswells, TD6 0SA in the UK, is looking to engage with providers experienced in creating purpose-built accommodation for adults with learning disabilities. Interested parties must submit their responses by 2pm on 9th March 2018, with discussions scheduled for 15th March 2018 at 9am. This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those focused on supporting individuals with learning disabilities. Providers with a background in designing and managing supported living arrangements will be well-suited to participate. Engaging in this process may lead to collaboration with Scottish Borders Council and potentially other local authorities, paving the way for innovative service offerings in the area of complex care for learning disabilities. ## Notice Scottish Borders Council (the Council) is seeking to develop a business case for a learning disability complex care service. The Council are seeking to meet with Providers who have experience of being involved in the development of new purpose built accommodation for adults with a learning disability who display behaviours that challenge services, family members or carers. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The level of the challenge is likely to be such that previously the person would have been at risk of being placed out of area. The focus of the service will be to provide support in the least restrictive setting, aiming to prevent, reduce or stop the development of future episodes of behaviours that challenge and to improve the quality of life of individuals by offering support and interventions focussed on increasing life skills. Providers must also have experience of providing this type of service on a supported living type model. The Council would like to meet with Providers, willing to share their experience, to gain as much knowledge and information from the process to enable us to develop a realistic business case and specification. There is a possibility that we may do this in collaboration with another Local Authority. At this point in time we are looking at the possibility of two options either a 6 bedded unit or a 12 bedded unit. If you are interested in being involved in the above discussions and feel you have the experience please can you complete and return the attached document emailing it to procurement@scortborders.gov.uk prior to 2pm on Friday 9th March 2018. It is the intention of the council to meet with providers to start the discussions above on Thursday 15th March 2018 at 9am and have scheduled 3 hours for these discussions. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB310972 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Prior Information Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | 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 | 21 Feb 2018 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 15 Mar 2018 | | 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 | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SCOTTISH BORDERS COUNCIL | | Locality | NEWTOWN ST BOSWELLS | | Post town | Galashiels | | Postcode | TD6 0SA | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM9 Southern Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM91 Scottish Borders | | Local authority | Scottish Borders | | Electoral ward | Selkirkshire | | Westminster constituency | Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk | | Delivery location | TLM91 Scottish Borders | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 85300000 - Social work and related services ## Release History - 21 Feb 2018 at 00:00 - Planning - PCS Notice - Website Prior Information Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB310972 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=FEB310972&idx=1 21st February 2018 - Questionnaire to be completed and returned by 9th March 2018 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB310972 Business Case for a Learning Disability Complex Care Service - Scottish Borders Council (the Council) is seeking to develop a business case for a learning disability complex care service.
