What is being bought
B&NES Council has embarked on an ambitious project to deliver 2, 4-bed children's homes for children aged between 11 and 18 who have autism and complex needs associated with social, emotional and mental health needs. The homes will be co-located with, but entirely separate from, a new 30-place special school which will be operated by a single/multi-academy trust. It is anticipated that many, if not all, of the children will attend the co-located school. A building for both the homes and the school has been identified in Keynsham, by utilising the closure of the care home Charlton House (post code BS31 1BF) which is under the ownership and management of the LA.
B&NES Council is looking to commission a single provider to operate the two residential children's homes, working as a close, strategic partner to ensure that public money is utilised to provide quality, outcome focused provision. The two homes will each offer accommodation for four children/young people, with sleep-in staff provision, living and support spaces and a house garden. The services are expected to commence 1st September 2027.
