Abstract

This opportunity relates to the provision of a range of accommodation and support packages for young people aged 16 to 25 years who are looked after or who have left care and have identified support needs.

The services provided will be person centred; delivered by providers who are values led and have young people at the heart of their service.

The main aims of these services are that young people are safe and secure, are prepared and ready for adulthood and independence, and supported to develop resilience and the ability to make good decisions.

The Council is establishing a system variously known as a “Flexible Purchasing System” or a “Pseudo Dynamic Purchasing System” under the Light Touch Regime in accordance with the Public Contract Regulations 2015 for the provision of homes and help for young people aged 16-25.

The system will comprise of 2 tiers. The top 10 highest scoring organisations will be appointed to each lot for Tier 1 of the system, all other remaining applications will be appointed Tier 2 status if they meet the quality threshold as defined in the tender documentation.

The flexible purchasing system comprises a number of lots as follows:

Lot 1: Group Living (Purchase by Placement).

Please note if you are applying for this lot, there is an immediate requirement for 6 placements on a block booking basis.

Properties must be 4 beds or under and located within the Rotherham Borough.

Lot 2: Supported Tenancy;

Lot 3: Floating Support;

Lot 4: Family Based Support and Accommodation.

The system will award the following over the life of the FPS via either the direct award or mini competition procedure as defined in Appendix 1 – 16+ flexible purchasing system rules:

— individual packages for specific service users.

— future “block contracts” as requirements arise.

It is anticipated that the system will commence on 1.10.2019 and it is estimated the system will run for a period of 10 years, this is an estimate only and subject to continuation if the system continues to meet the requirements of the Authority.

The overarching agreement has no expiry date and therefore will conclude if and when RMBC terminate this agreement. Given that Tier 1 providers are not obliged to accept any particular work or volumes of work there will be no need for the Tier 1 provider to terminate the overarching agreement.

An individual placement agreement may or may not include an expiry date. In any case the individual placement agreement has termination provisions allowing termination by either side.

The anticipated spend via the system is in the region of 2 400 000 GBP per annum. The basis for these estimates is the last 4 years of expenditure. However these costs are indicative and do not carry any guarantee of value or volume of business over the system term. Actual future needs may vary up or down. All figures on a lot by lot basis are indicative only.

Lot 1: Group Living (Purchase by Placement).

Group living accommodation is described as a situation where a young person lives within a multi occupancy property and either has shared communal facilities or lives within a “bed-sit” type living space within a larger building.

The service must offer a group living communal environment with personnel on site 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to deliver programme of support, dependent on the individual needs, to enable young persons to progress towards living in their own accommodation.

A minimum of 5 direct support hours per week will be delivered by the provider to the young person.
