This procurement falls under the services category, specifically focusing on fostering independence for young people with complex needs. The planning stage is currently underway, with a public information event scheduled for 24th January 2020 at Waverley Court, Edinburgh, where interested providers are encouraged to confirm their attendance by 17th January 2020. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses potentially capable of providing transition services, particularly those in the social and health care sectors. Companies that focus on support services for young people with learning disabilities, independent living solutions, and those registered with the Care Inspectorate would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The adoption of principles aimed at improving transitions illustrates a commitment to high-quality services, making this an attractive prospect for businesses looking to expand their offerings in the public sector arena. ## Notice The City of Edinburgh Council is committed to getting it right for every child and young person whether they live at home or in an alternative placement. Our priorities include helping with transitions for young people who have complex needs such as learning disabilities, severely challenging behaviour and other issues which lead them to being vulnerable. We are aiming to ensure that they live in a safe and supportive environment, build their independence skills and help them to become effective contributors to society. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Over the course of the young person education, there will be child's planning meetings held which will address the young person's future needs and outcomes that are to be met. These meetings will include the young person, the teacher, families and relevant professionals. In 2017, The Scottish Transitions Forum produced a document called 'Good transitions 3'. The Principles of Good Transition are: - Planning and decision making should be carried out in a person-centred way - Support should be co-ordinated across all services - Planning should start early and continue up to age 25 - All young people should get the support they need - Young people, parents and carers must have access to the information they need - Families and carers need support - A continued focus on transitions across Scotland To build on this strategy, the City of Edinburgh Council proposes to adopt the following five principles as an improvement plan: - A single point of contact - Starting Transitions work earlier - Provide information to young people and families - Provide improved accommodation options - Ensure improved communication approaches and is seeking to create an open framework agreement to enable this to be taken forward. Therefore the City of Edinburgh is looking to commission services which support: - Young people to remain at home by offering day support or day and night time support - Young people to live independently, either with or without accommodation. Note: by submitting your interest you are agreeing to further engagement with the Council. The Council may decide to competitively tender this contract in the future. If authorised, this service may be awarded as a 4-year framework commencing 1st September 2020 to 30th August 2024. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=DEC375831 | | Notice type | OJEU - F21 - Social And other Specific Services (Public Contracts) | | 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 | 19 Dec 2019 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 8 Apr 2020 | | 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 | THE CITY OF EDINBURGH COUNCIL | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Post town | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH8 8BG | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | City Centre | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh East and Musselburgh | | Delivery location | TLM75 City of Edinburgh | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 85300000 - Social work and related services - 85310000 - Social work services - 85311000 - Social work services with accommodation - 85312000 - Social work services without accommodation - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 19 Dec 2019 at 00:00 - Planning - OJEU - F21 - Social And other Specific Services (Public Contracts) - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=DEC375831 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=DEC375831&idx=1 7th February 2020 - Presentation slides, commentary and Notes - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=DEC375831 Framework Agreement for Young People in Transition (including Learning Disabilities & Complex Needs) - The City of Edinburgh Council is committed to getting it right for every child and young person whether they live at home or in an alternative placement.
