Community Based Supported Living Framework

This tender concerns the establishment of framework contracts for supported living services within the United Kingdom, as listed on the UK Find a Tender Service (FTS). The contracting authority is seeking providers to deliver community-based supported living arrangements. Framework agreements are typically multi-supplier and cover a defined period, allowing contracting authorities to procure services as needed without running repeated full procurement exercises. Services under this framework are expected to assist individuals, potentially adults or young people, with various needs, enabling them to live independently within their communities. This could include personal care, domestic support, social inclusion activities, and tenancy support. Suppliers will be evaluated based on their capacity to provide high-quality, person-centred care, their understanding of relevant legislation and safeguarding principles, and their financial stability. The framework may be divided into lots based on geographical areas or specific service user groups. Bidders should anticipate detailed service specifications, quality assurance requirements, and reporting obligations. The ultimate goal is to ensure vulnerable individuals receive appropriate and effective support to enhance their quality of life.
