What the buyer wants
East Riding of Yorkshire Council is establishing a Supported Living Open Framework to commission supported living schemes and large care packages. Care agencies can apply anytime to join this continuously refreshed pool of pre-qualified suppliers, subject to periodic evaluations. Agencies must be registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) with a minimum rating of 'requires improvement' and demonstrate ongoing improvement actions. There is no guaranteed business volume, and the framework runs from March 2025 to March 2033 with possible extensions.
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.
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 at specific times detailed in the tender documents.
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.
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.
How Tenderoo reads it
This is a framework agreement: a place on it puts you on the buyer's approved list, which they call work off from over the term. It is not a single job, and a small firm can hold a place alongside national suppliers.
The notice reads as suitable for a small or medium-sized firm: the scope, value and requirements are within reach of a business of that size.
Services required
- Health and social work services
- Social work and related services
- Social work services
- Social work services without accommodation
