This open procurement process is currently at the Tender stage, with a submission deadline set for 15 February 2019. The successful contractor will begin service delivery on 15 May 2019, following award outcomes on the same date, and the estimated budget for this contract is £200,000 per annum, covering services over a three-year period, with potential extensions. This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in community care services, particularly those with expertise in supporting individuals with disabilities. Companies that meet specific selection criteria, including registration with the Care Inspectorate and adequate financial stability, would be well-suited to submit bids. Additionally, organisations that can demonstrate relevant experience and hold the necessary insurance coverages are encouraged to participate, as they can contribute positively to the service users' quality of life while expanding their service offerings within the care sector. ## Notice The contract will provide flexible community care and support provision to 5 adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder / Learning Disabilities and associated complexities residing within West Lothian in a Core and Cluster living environment (the contract focuses on the development of the 'core' element of the Service). Ongoing flexible care and support will be required 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to assist the service users to achieve their assessed personalised outcomes and maximise their potential. The service users will be accommodated in new-build flats in the Dedridge area of Livingston. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The contract will provide flexible community care and support provision to 5 adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder / Learning Disabilities and associated complexities residing within West Lothian in a Core and Cluster living environment. Ongoing flexible care and support will be required 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to assist the service users to achieve their assessed personalised outcomes and maximise their potential. Although the contract focuses on the 'Core' component of the Service in the first instance (which will be situated in a block of 4 adjoining 2 bedroom new-build flats), the proposed model forms part of a re-design of Learning Disability Services in the West Lothian locality and the 'cluster' element will be developed at a later date by WLHSCP whereby care and support will be offered to residents in geographical proximity to the Core. The estimated budget of the Core Service is 200,000 GBP per annum. Renewal: The contract may be extended for a period of up to a further two years ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JAN341121 | | Notice type | OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Jan 2019 | | Submission deadline | 15 Feb 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 15 May 2019 - 14 May 2022 | | 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 | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | WEST LOTHIAN COUNCIL | | Locality | LIVINGSTON | | Post town | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH54 6FF | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM14 West Lothian | | Local authority | West Lothian | | Electoral ward | Livingston South | | Westminster constituency | Livingston | | Delivery location | TLM78 West Lothian | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 3 Jan 2019 at 00:00 - Tender - OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JAN341121 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JAN341121 Core and Cluster Support Services - The contract will provide flexible community care and support provision to 5 adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder / Learning Disabilities and associated complexities residing within West Lothian in a Core and Cluster living environment (the contract focuses on the development of the 'core' element of the Service).
