Description
Bridgewell Market Warming Event
July 2024
Bracknell Forest Council is currently developing new supported living accommodation for adults with care and support needs, known as Bridgewell, located in Birch Hill, Bracknell Forest, RG12 7HA.
The accommodation consists of four distinct, self-contained 5-bedroom apartments. Each apartment is accessed by its own front door, via a central lobby. Each bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and there is a shared living room, kitchen, and dining room.
It is anticipated that adults supported to live at Bridgewell will have some or all of the following in relation to their care and support needs: learning disabilities, health and physical disabilities, profound multi learning disabilities, neurodiversity, sensory impairment, dementia. Adults may have several co-occurring conditions such as mental and physical health needs and it is therefore a requirement of the service that the Service Provider can deliver support to people with a wide range of complex care and support needs.
The Council is seeking to procure a single contract for the following services, through a competitive tender process:
Lot 1: Landlord Services, including housing management (Housing Provider).
Lot 2: Care & Support Provision (Support Provider).
The Housing Provider and the Care and Support Provider will work in formal partnership as either a single entity (one organisation with separate Landlord and Care and Support functions) or separate organisations with a service level agreement or management agreement in place. Bidders will not be permitted to bid for a single Lot.
The initial contract term is 5 years, with the option to extend by a further 3 years + 2 years (total 10 years), subject to agreement.
Housing Management and Landlord Provider is required to be:
Designated a not-for-profit Housing Association
Regulated by the Regulator of Social Housing (RSH).
Care & Support Service Provider is required to:
Be registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to provide personal care as detailed in Schedule 1 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014
Be delivering registered services 'In Area' (i.e., within 45 minutes' drive of Bracknell Forest Council's Main Office (Time Square)
Have a registered office from which the Provider intends to deliver the service which is rated Good or Outstanding by CQC
