Sets up a framework (suppliers apply to join)

In plain English

West Sussex County Council is running an open framework to buy supported living services for young people (16+) and adults with support needs. The framework launched in August 2021 and continuously accepts new providers to join. You can apply at any time during the agreement period.

What the buyer wants

• Provide personal support and care services for young people aged 16+ and adults • Help with the transition from children's services into adult services • Work within an integrated approach across the council's services • Deliver services that promote positive outcomes as people move into adulthood

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

This is a care framework requiring staff to work with vulnerable young people and adults. You will almost certainly need DBS clearance and relevant care qualifications or experience; most micro-businesses operating as sole traders without formal care credentials or insurance will struggle to meet the standard.

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.
