Early Market Engagement for provision of Supported Living Accommodation in any area across Northern Ireland
Description: This is a Prior Information Notice (PIN) by way of an Early Market Engagement scoping for the NHSCT to ascertain current capacity and potential future capacity in the market for the provision of Supported Living Accommodation for a Service User with complex behaviours in any area across Northern Ireland.
Summary: The Northern Health and Social Care Trust is scoping the market for supported living accommodation for one service user with complex behaviours and challenging behaviour. The requirement is for a bespoke, 24-hour care facility in any area of Northern Ireland. Care is anticipated to use a one-to-one staffing ratio, with the service user potentially managed by one waking night worker, subject to ongoing review. The work falls within health and social care services, covering the provision and operation of accommodation with intensive support. This requirement is intended to help the Trust understand current and potential future market capacity for a highly individualised supported living arrangement. Providers with suitable accommodation and specialist care provision across Northern Ireland may be relevant.
