Community Based Supported Living Framework

Swindon Borough Council is seeking to commission a supported living framework for adults with needs aged 18 and over. The term of the contract will be initially 2 years, with two potential 2yr extensions making to total possible duration of 6yrs. Please see ITT documents for details.

Initial 2yr contract value is £42m with a potential 6yr value of £126m should the additional two extension periods be implemented.

The Framework will be under one lot but with three categories

1. General Needs
2. Complex Needs
3. Complex Plus

The Framework will be advertised and all applicants must pass the minimum criteria to be awarded a place on the Framework.

There will be a core requirement for any bidding providers to apply for category one (General Needs). Bidders can then decide if they wish to also apply for category 2 and 3 (Complex and Complex PLUS), bidders cannot apply for categories 2 or 3 without bidding and being awarded a place for Category one (General Needs) as users often need to move between category one and the other categories
