In plain English
North Northamptonshire Council and the NHS are looking for providers to deliver supported living services to working-age adults with learning disabilities, mental health needs, or autism. This is a framework agreement (not individual contracts) that will run for 4 years, with options to extend for up to 3 more years total.
What the buyer wants
• Provide supported living accommodation and support services to adults with learning disabilities, mental health conditions, or autism who have been assessed as needing care • Operate as a 'tertiary provider', meaning you will support individuals only when primary and secondary providers cannot meet their needs, lack capacity, or the person chooses your service • Meet the council's service specifications for either 'standard' or 'enhanced' level support across three specialist areas (learning disabilities, mental health, autism)
Lots
- Lot 1a. Learning Disabilities - Standard - Tertiary Providers
- Lot 1b. Learning Disabilities - Enhanced - Tertiary Providers
- Lot 2a. Mental Health - Standard - Tertiary Providers
- Lot 2b. Mental Health - Enhanced - Tertiary Providers
- Lot 3a. Autism - Standard - Tertiary Providers
- Lot 3b - Autism - Enhanced - Tertiary Providers
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This contract is only open to established 'tertiary providers' who can demonstrate substantial experience delivering specialist supported living services to adults with complex needs; most small tradespeople (builders, cleaners, electricians) will be ineligible unless they operate as a registered care provider.
How to bid
This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
