Supported Living Services

Reprocuring all supported living services currently provided across the four contracts provides the Council with an opportunity to reorganise the services across several separate contracts of similar size and scope and align the contracts geographically across the district. This will better support market sustainability for providers, choice for individuals and may still produce some potential for financial efficiencies over the longer term, due to economies of scale.

A review of the current services has taken place and the properties will be procured across 3 lots. It is envisaged this should provide enough work to provide economies of scale to make the lots sustainable.

Bidders will be asked to confirm which of the lots they are bidding for: Lot 1 - West, Lot 2 - East, Lot 3 - Central. Bidders can choose to bid for more than one lot and must indicate in the ITT Part 2 - Schedule 5 along with the order of preference in terms of awarding of lots - 1 being first choice, 2 second choice and 3 third choice.

The highest scoring tender will be offered their first choice of lot, second highest bidder their choice of the two remaining lots, (but only if they have selected to bid for the two remaining lots). If not, this will then move to the third highest bidder and so on. NOTE: up to a maximum of three different providers may be awarded contracts to deliver this service.

Wakefield Council is seeking tenders from suitably qualified and experienced Providers to deliver supported living services to adults with learning disabilities/autism and complex health needs ('the Service').

Service Providers must be CQC registered with a rating of no less than Requirements Improvement. Providers will be required to submit a copy of their certificate as part of their bid submission.

It is envisaged that TUPE will apply.
