Section VI: Complementary information
VI.3) Additional information
Swansea Council currently has contracts for a variety of different supported living services. Many of these contracts will shortly be concluding. The Council is therefore looking to establish a framework agreement with organisations it can work with in the future to deliver high-quality support to those in need.
The framework agreement will have three separate lots (outlined within information about lots) that will offer the Council the flexibility to commission services that are effective at supporting individuals with a range of needs.
The Council anticipates occasionally using the framework to enter contracts where the framework provider has been able to secure accommodation to be used in the delivery of the service. However, there will be other instances where the call-out process will be clear that the accommodation has been sourced separately. The Council is therefore interested in hearing from organisations that have the capacity to source accommodation and those that do not.
The Council would like to invite existing and potential providers of supported living services to take part in our virtual market engagement event. The purpose of this event will be:
- To share information the Council has collated on supported living services that has helped shape its plans.
- To outline our potential procurement strategy
- Provide information on the next steps and timescales
Registration Details:
- The event will be held on 14th August 2024 at 10:00 – 11:30am.
- Please register your interest by emailing Christopher.francis@swansea.gov.uk by 4pm on 7th August 2024 to enable a TEAM’s invite link to be sent to you.
This event will be delivered virtually via Microsoft Teams and we recommend that you join via a laptop/desktop so that it will be easier for you to type and use chat functionality.
