    "description": "The care and support needs currently delivered within the scheme are expected to transfer to the successful bidder.\nThe range of care and support needs within the scheme aim to reflect a balanced community model of approximately, a third of people with; low needs 0-7 hours/week, medium needs 8-14 hours/week and high needs 15+ hours/week.\nPlease note the service will be only accessed by people between 55 and 64 years with an assessed care and support need. The restriction around the age of adults accessing this service is linked to the tenancy age restriction set by the Landlord.\nThe Provider selected to deliver the above Services will be the Council\u0027s preferred Provider to deliver formal care and support arrangements (care managed referrals) within the Scheme  \nIt is envisaged that the Council\u0027s preferred Provider would develop this role with a view to being the preferred Provider within the Scheme, enabling all tenants/residents if they wish to purchase this service or other services that the Provider may choose to offer.\nAdult Social Care service users in Extra Care Housing retain the right to choose self-directed support for alternative provision via a Direct Payment or Individual Service Fund, in order to fulfil their care and support requirements. It is envisaged that the selected provider would be the natural choice of provider (preferred provider) but individuals are free to choose alternative provision.  \nThe Scheme:\nCastlestead View \n\u2022\t104 self-contained units consisting of:\n\u2022\t46 x 2 bedroom units shared ownership\n\u2022\t20 x 1 bedroom rental units\n\u2022\t14 x 2 bedroom rental units\n\u2022\t24 x Bungalow units shared ownership \nThere is a range of Facilities: \n\u2022\tResident Lounge,\n\u2022\tRestaurant \n\u2022\t Laundry Room\n\u2022\tHairdresser \n\u2022\tBuggy store\n\u2022\tAssisted bathing\n\u2022\tStaff offices plus an Alarm Call System\n\u2022\tCar park \n\u2022\tGuest Suite \n\u2022\tCommunal gardens \nOffice Accommodation:\nThe Scheme is owned and managed by Housing 21. The Landlord has agreed access to their premises and use of some facilities at Castlestead View to the successful bidder for this contract.\nThe Landlord anticipates charging an annual rent of \u00a36495.72 plus \u00a32784.00 (annual service charge) plus Vat from commencement of service. Providers should include this cost in their bid. (The 2025/26 commercial fees. 2026/27 fees are subject to review in Jan \u002726 and any increase is typically based on CPI s in the previous Sept. This isn\u0027t announced until Oct \u002725).\nHousing Management and Housing Related Support services will be provided by the Landlord and are not part of this contract.  Joint Working Protocols within Castlestead View    between the Landlord and the Care Provider will be discussed with the successful provider following Contract award and agreed prior to contract start.  \nThe Housing Related Support team will be delivering person centred housing related support to enable individuals to maintain their independence \u0026 improve their quality of life. The aim is to promote a positive attitude to ageing and lifelong learning, deliver a vibrant scheme which provides a hub for a range of services \u0026 activities for tenants, residents, and the wider community, working in partnership with the care provider\u0027s care team and other agencies.\nCore Support Charge:\nHousing 21 as the current care provider, applies a weekly \u0027Core Charge\u0027 to all Extra Care residents. Housing 21 have instituted a core support charge payable (as a condition of their tenancy) of \u00a335.20 per week per unit to provide background support over and above ASC block contract.\nThe rationale for this is to:\no\tensure responsive action at all times: two members of staff are  required on site 24/7\no\teliminate loan night working e.g. Overnight at Castlestead staff may be called offsite to the bungalows.     \no\tbe able to respond to unplanned/emergency calls through the call system (these can vary from falls, residents feeling unwell, repetitive callers etc)\nWhilst there is no expectation that the council will contract for and fund this additional support, there is an expectation that any Care and Support provider who takes on the Council commissioned contract will also pick up this additional core support including the collection of the charge.",
