Framework - Start Well (Children’s) Supported Services

Organisation

Oxfordshire County Council

Oxfordshire County Council is seeking tenders from suitably qualified providers that have a proven track record in providing quality Accommodation and Support to vulnerable young people aged between 16-25 years, old including young people who are under the care of the Council. Providers must meet the criteria to claim enhanced housing benefit and for those who are able to support 16 to 18 years of age, appropriately registered. Services have been characterised into three Lots: 1. Shared Supported Housing Accommodation 2. Self-Contained Supported Housing Accommodation 3. Supported Lodgings The Framework is aimed primarily at developing capacity in Oxfordshire. In addition, tenders will be accepted for the following locations, Northamptonshire, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, Worcestershire, Warwickshire, Hampshire, Surrey, London, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire. This will be an Open Framework with rolling application windows throughout the lifetime of the agreement. Once accepted on the framework providers will have opportunities to bid for individual placements and or blocks via mini competitions. The Framework will initially supplement established Young People Supported Accommodation contracts and is envisioned to be the vehicle to replace these contracts as they are recommissioned in the future. The Framework will commence from November 2023 and run up to 2032. The Council does not guarantee the volume of spend that will be awarded under this Framework but based on projections we expect approximately £70 million to be spent across the life of the Framework. Additional information: Option to extend for a further 36 months (72 months + 36 months).
