Description
East Riding of Yorkshire Council is seeking applications from potential care agencies to be admitted to the Council's new Supported Living Open Framework. This intention is that this framework will be used to commission all supported living schemes or very large packages of care which are contracted through the Council, it will not be used for those individuals who wish to have a direct payment. In the future other models of contract may also be developed, for example individual service funds.
Unlike a traditional framework, suppliers can apply to join the open framework at any time and is designed to provide access to a pool of pre-qualified suppliers that can be continually refreshed, however the applications will only be evaluated every 12 months or when the Council identifies an urgent need in particular to direct award to a specific provider.
There is no limit to the number of providers awarded a place on the open framework for supported living, however it must be recognised that there are no guaranteed levels of business.
It is a requirement that the Agency will be registered as a Home Care Agency with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and any successor body will maintain registration, with no serious compliance issue/s. This Agency is required to have a 'good' or "outstanding" CQC inspection rating - or as a minimum, 'requires improvement' and be able to demonstrate that action is being taken to address the 'requires improvement' inspection rating.
The Agency must have a registered office / location such that they must be able to demonstrate how high-quality outcome-focused, person-centred care can be delivered and effectively co-ordinated for any requirements that they apply for.
This procurement is conducted under the Light Touch Regime, under the EU Public Contracts Directive 2014/24/EU, as implemented by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015 No. 102) Section 7.
The Open Framework starts on 01/03/2025 and the initial end date is 31/03/2033. The Framework includes options to extend up to three further twenty-four month periods at the sole discretion of East Riding of Yorkshire Council with an estimated total contract value of £700m.
The first closing date is noon on 09/12/2024. Further dates are detailed in the tender documents.
