Learning Disability Supported Living Services: Scheme 1 (3 Properties)

The London Borough of Bromley (“the Council”) is inviting tenders for the provision of care and support services for a total of 11 people with learning disabilities who may also have autism, challenging behaviour, mental health and / or complex health needs, within 3 existing supported living schemes situated in the London Borough of Bromley.

All 3 services are provided within a group supported living model. The age and ability of the clients vary; a pen portrait of each client will be included with the main tender documentation.

All the clients have their own tenancy agreements with a Registered Social Landlord. The landlord function will be separate from that of the care and support provision. The Services are currently provided by one care and support provider.

The tender will be run electronically using the ProContract London Tenders Portal e-tendering system and suppliers interested in receiving the tender documents will need to ensure that they are registered with the London Tenders Portal (if they have not already done so) at www.londontenders.org.

It is anticipated that the Contract will commence mid-April 2016. The contract will run for a period of 3 years with the option to extend for a further period of up to but not exceeding 2 years. A combined total of all 3 schemes of approximately £908,000 per annum. Please note this is an indicative figure only.

The contract falls into the Light Touch (Social and Other Specific Services – Section 7 – 74-76 PCR 2015) and will be placed in compliance with the arrangements identified in the regulations.
