II.2.4) Description of the procurement
Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council wishes to commission an Extra Care Scheme in the Margam area of Port Talbot. Five individuals have been identified to take up tenancies within the property which consists of 5 self-contained flats, staffing areas and communal areas.
The service will consist of a mix of 24 hour support within the building and additional floating support for targeted 1.1 care and support. The type of service to be delivered to residents will be a mix of personal care as well as support for people to develop and maintain their daily living skills and independence.
The contract will be for a period of 5 years with the option to extend by a period, of up to a further three years. As the service is new, there will be no TUPE requirements.
Transforming learning disability and mental health services remains a key priority area for the Council where the authority continues to change the way it delivers support by adopting more flexible, contemporary models that focus on independence, choice and control for those having support. This means placing people in models that better suit their needs and engaging positively with providers that can deliver support in way that is consistent with this agenda. This transformation work is ongoing and will involve the commissioning of a wide range of new innovative models and services over coming years, and in meeting this need, the Council welcomes providers who are confident and able to deliver support in a way that is consistent with these principles.
The Registered Social Landlord (RSL) for the property will be Tai Tarian and the Provider will be required to maintain a Tri-Partite Agreement with the landlord for the duration of the Agreement. The Tri-Partite agreement is essentially a three way management agreement.
