In plain English
Derby City Council wants a provider to run a supported living scheme for around 13 young people and adults aged 18 to 25 with learning disabilities, neurodiversity or autism, helping them build everyday life skills and gradually move towards independent living. The scheme will operate from a former children's home in Sinfin that the council owns, and the contract is worth about £5 million.
What the buyer wants
• Run a regulated supported living service for around 13 people at once, with each person's support stepped down over roughly 18 months as their skills grow. • Provide skills development and transition support tailored to each person's needs, including health and wellbeing, independent living and preparation for adulthood. • Manage the council-owned site and its buildings, garages and outdoor space, and keep the service safe, staffed and compliant with care standards.
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
The combination of a £5 million value, regulated care delivery for vulnerable young adults, an 18-month service track record and the capacity to run a 13-person scheme will rule out most small businesses.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
