Notice type: | Contract Notice |
Authority: | Shropshire Council |
Nature of contract: | Services |
Procedure: | Open |
Short Description: | Shropshire Council on behalf of its Children’s Services Directorate seeks to procure the provision of this service externally. The service will provide specialist residential care for some of Shropshire Council’s Looked After Children and young people, aged 8-17 at time of admission. The service excludes educational provision. The service excludes emergency care placements. The needs of our looked after children are diverse. We seek to establish a number of block contracts with different providers to achieve a diverse offer of residential settings. Each block contract will have the option to spot purchase additional beds based on the council’s need. The age range for this service will be 8-17, at time of admission. Some children and young people will have challenging emotional and/or behavioural disorders. Some will have a tendency to engage in risky behaviour. Many will have an Education – Health – Care plan. Successful tenderers will become part of the corporate family and will be equally accountable for ensuring that they achieve best outcomes for children in their care. As a public authority, in line with the Public Services (Social Value) Act 2012 the Council has due regard to economic, social and environmental well-being in Shropshire. Accordingly the council is looking, in relation to the delivery of this contract, for proposals from contractors that could help provide social value benefits within Shropshire where practicable and to maximise the social and economic impact of the proposed contract. This is a notice for Social and specific services in accordance with Directive 2014/24/EU Article74 being Social Services. Accordingly the Council will follow a process based on the principles of transparency. The Council will treat all economic operators equally and in a non-discriminatory way. Applicants should note that it is considered that the Employee ‘Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations ‘2006 (‘TUPE’) may apply to this contract. The contract will be for an initial period of 3 years with an option exercisable on behalf of the council to extend for a maximum further period of two times twelve months. |
