This tender is applicable to selected Supported Living Schemes located within the boundaries of the Borough of Stockton-on-Tees. The Supported Living Provider(s) will be registered with the Care Quality Commission for the regulated service - Personal Care, as this is likely to be a required part of the majority of commissioned care and support services.
Supported Living Services in Stockton-on-Tees Borough are delivered under a number of models: (1) Large Building-based schemes, (2) schemes where the Care and Support Provider is also the owner/landlord of the Supported living scheme (and therefore holds an "exclusive right" to deliver services from the scheme), and (3) various smaller Core and cluster schemes.
This tender relates to the 3rd types of scheme only.
For this Tender, we are making it a Condition of Participation that bidders can demonstrate equivalent experience in delivering schemes of a similar size and scale. If equivalent experience is not evidenced, then bids would be considered unsuitable and would be rejected and any submitted award questionnaire would be immediately disqualified.
We will therefore require details of current contracted Small and Cluster Supported living schemes containing a combination of shared hours, 1:1 hours and shared Sleeping or waking nights and also details of activities in the local community, which is a key element of Supported Living services
