II.2.4) Description of the procurement
Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council (the Council) wish to invite skilled and suitably experienced providers to apply for a place on their Supported Living Framework for Adults with a Learning Disability in the Neath Port Talbot Unitary Authority Area.
This Framework will be for a maximum period of 4 years (2 years initial stage, plus up to 24 months extension).
The Framework may be used by either the Council and/or Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board (ABMU HB) to include but not be limited to either purchasing new supported living schemes or recommissioning existing supported living schemes, including those schemes for people who may be considered as complex and challenging (e.g. schemes formally known as Closer to Home) or for people in receipt of continuing healthcare (CHC), or have their care funded through a Section 117 arrangement. Some people living in these schemes may have a primary or secondary mental health need. In addition some Schemes may also include elements of housing related support depending on the services being tendered.
The value of the framework is difficult to estimate, however, the net adult social services budget for external learning disability placements in 2018/19 is 9,887,790 GBP. This figure includes some residential placements and other services which are not in scope of this Framework. In addition 1,337,307 GBP of Supporting People Programme Grant funding is allocated to learning disability providers for the delivery of housing related support, again not all this funding will be attached to services caught within the scope of the framework.
There are no specific Lots to establish the award of the framework.
