Description

An Open Framework for the provision of short-term accommodation service to support vulnerable people, aged 18 or above, to help them regain their independence, live independently within their communities, maintain or improve their health and wellbeing, and participate in meaningful activities including work, training, volunteering and personal interests/hobbies. The service will also remain flexible to accommodate younger individuals aged 16 or 17 years old or above on occasions, as requested by commissioners, ensuring tailored support to this group when needed. The expectation is that the significant majority of the people receiving support in housing related support accommodation will be 18 years of age or older. In assessing individual housing related support needs, the Provider will be expected to identify and work with other agencies, to address the root causes of problems and not just the symptoms, and deliver sequenced, evidence-based interventions, strengths-based assessment and support planning. Individuals who are in receipt of support in services must also be encouraged and supported to become actively involved in making decisions about their support, and they should be facilitated to do this wherever possible. People accessing these accommodation-based support services will not be charged, other that rent and service charges, and utility bills as agreed in the accommodation provider's occupancy agreement. The total open framework period will be for 8 years, with the following indicative terms for each framework in the scheme: • Framework 1 - Period of 2 years with the option to extend for an additional year • Framework 2 - Period of 2 years with the option to extend for an additional year • Framework 3 - Period of 2 years with the option to extend for an additional year • Framework 4 - Period of 2 years with the option to extend for an additional year Successful suppliers of this procurement exercise will be appointed to Framework

The weightings for Price and Quality criteria may differ to the original tender.\nCriteria used for a further competition may differ from the award criteria used to set up the framework if they are related to (i.e. derive from) the original award criteria.\nBidders will be allowed sufficient time   to prepare and submit their quotations.\nPrices submitted during a further competition exercise must not exceed the relevant rates detailed in the Pricing Schedule submitted at the tender stage.\nAll documentation issued for further competition must refer to Manchester\u0027s Framework P-0816 in the invite to tender documents*.\nCall-off contracts may be awarded following a competitive selection process after the expiration of the framework, provided the competitive selection process started prior to this.\nDirect award without competition.\nIf the framework agreement sets out all the terms governing the provision of the, services concerned and all the objective conditions that are required to make a decision for award of the specific contract, then awarding the contract without re-opening competition amongst the parties to the framework agreement may be used.
