## Summary

The South Lanarkshire Council has initiated a tender process titled "Adult Supported Living - Procured Service Arrangement (PSA)" in the services category. The Council is seeking providers to deliver services supporting vulnerable adults within their own homes. The tender, which is currently active, operates under the Light Touch Rules of the Public Contract (Scotland) Regulations 2015. The overall value of the contract is £225,000,000 GBP. The procurement method is open, with a tender period ending on 28th February 2024.

This tender by the South Lanarkshire Council presents an opportunity for businesses to engage in providing enhanced care and standard care services for vulnerable adults in the council's geographical area. Businesses capable of offering advanced skill sets to support complex needs are well-suited to participate in Lot 2 - Enhanced Care. The procurement process includes stringent selection criteria related to financial standing, technical ability, and compliance with regulations. Interested businesses must adhere to the submission requirements by the specified deadline to be considered for appointment to the Procured Service Arrangement (PSA).

## Notice

The Council has an on-going requirement to procure Adult Supported Living Services. The Services will support vulnerable adults to live in their own homes and to play an active part in their communities as much as they are able. The Self-Directed Support (SDS) regulations offer Supported Persons a choice of provider to an extent not available through a Framework or a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) therefore the Council is utilising an innovative Procured Service Arrangement (PSA) under the Light Touch Rules contained in Regulations 74 - 76 of the Public Contract (Scotland) Regulations 2015. The PSA will allow providers to be added over its 15 year term, this will facilitate Supported Person's choice.

### Lot Information

Enhanced Care

Lot 2 - Enhanced Care The Council is procuring services for vulnerable adults who have been assessed by the Council as requiring enhanced care. Contracts awarded under Lot 2 will be awarded in accordance with the arrangements detailed in Attachment 5 Call on Procedure. No Prices are being sought for Lot 2 at this time. Enhanced Care is defined as a where the Supported Person's presentation requires the support of a staff group with an advanced skill set who have validated competencies in routinely responding to unpredictable and high risk situations. Bids for Lot 2 only will NOT be accepted by the Council. Bidders should note that the Council are not giving or implying any guarantee in respect of the value or volume of any services to be awarded under this Procured Service Arrangement.

The ITT will remain open for the lifetime of the PSA. There are no limits to the number of times that bidders can submit bids. A new procurement process will take place in 2034.

Standard Care

Lot 1 - Standard Care The Council is procuring Services for vulnerable adults and the term "Lot" could be seen as incompatible with the principles of individualisation and the procurement of social care services. The process however is a formal procurement procedure carried out within The Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 where Section 5. Conduct of the Procedure Regulation 47 details the arrangements for the division of contracts into lots. The use of this term for this procurement process is therefore unavoidable. Lot 1 - Standard care has 9 sub categories as below: Lot 1(a) - People with learning disabilities Lot 1(b) - People with physical disabilities Lot 1(c) - People with mental health problems Lot 1(d) - People with acquired or traumatic brain injury Lot 1(e) - People who are hearing impaired Lot 1(f) - People who are visually impaired Lot 1(g) - People with autism Lot 1(h) - People with substance misuse/addiction problems Lot 1(i) - People who are in receipt of palliative/end of life care. Contracts awarded under Lot 1 will be awarded in accordance with the arrangements detailed in Attachment 5 Call on Procedure. Bidders should note that the Council are not giving or implying any guarantee in respect of the value or volume of any services to be awarded under this Procured Service Arrangement.

Renewal: On completion of the initial evaluation process and appointment of Bidders to the Procured Service Arrangement, the ITT will reopen to new bids. The ITT will remain open for the lifetime of the PSA. There are no limits to the number of times that bidders can submit bids. A new procurement process will take place in 2034
