two.1.4) Short description
Derby City Council (the Commissioner) is undertaking this procurement process on behalf of D2N2 to establish a flexible Framework for the supply of Supported Accommodation for Young People.
The subject matter of this procurement process relates to the delivery of services which are listed to in Chapter 3, Section 7 to the PCR 2015 regulations. As such the full regime set out in the regulations will not apply to the award of the Framework Contracts. Consequently, the procurement process adopted by the Commissioners has been developed in accordance with Regulation 76 of the regulations and in particular in accordance with the fundamental public procurement principles of transparency and equal treatment. For the avoidance of doubt this means that the Commissioner has not adopted an open procedure, framework (as defined in the Regulations) for the undertaking of this procurement process.
Overview of Requirement
The Framework will run alongside four block contracts separately commissioned by each Local Authority within D2N2. This Framework will be used to commission placements when a block contract is unable to meet a Young Person's specific requirements or has reached full capacity.
Supported accommodation placements will improve Young Person's skills in the following areas:
• Sustaining a tenancy
• Managing a budget
• Engaging in the local community
• Understanding how to access further support
• Gaining independence skills
The Framework will provide high quality, good value, supported accommodation for D2N2's Young People in care and care leavers. The Framework will require the Contracting Authority and the Provider to work in together to ensure supported accommodation is available when required and meets each Young Person's individual needs.
The key objectives of this Service shall be to:
• Provide Young People with accommodation and support at the point of need.
• Provide supported accommodation where Young People feel safe, are protected from harm and safeguarding risks, and understand the consequences of risk-taking behaviour.
• Prepare Young People for sustainable independence through the provision of individually tailored support in high quality accommodation.
• Provide well trained Support Workers who will form strong, positive relationships with Young People to support them on their journey towards independence.
• Provide stable and consistent accommodation and support to prevent frequent placement moves and the unplanned departure of Young People from their placement.
• Improve value for money by reducing the Contracting Authority's reliance on high-cost individual placements.
• Achieve positive outcomes for Young People. Please see Section 2.4 of this specification for further details.
Bidders MUST already have the Accommodation requirements in place at the time of submitting their Bid.
The service and accommodation requirements are further detailed further in Part 3 Specification of the ITT documents.
FRAMEWORK USERS (D2N2)
The following Contracting Authorities will be able to call-off from the Framework:
Derby City Council, Derbyshire County Council, Nottingham City Council and Nottinghamshire County Council.
LOTS - STRUCTURE OF FRAMEWORK
LOT 1 - Solo Provision with Intensive Support
LOT 2 - Shared Provision with Intensive Support
LOT 3 - Solo Provision with Visiting Support
LOT 4 - Shared Provision with Visiting Support
OPERATION OF FRAMEWORK
The Commissioner reserves the right to open a Lot or Lots and run an open competitive tendering process to replace existing Framework Service Provider due to failure/poor performance/material breaches etc.
There will also be the option of opening up Lot/s to add an additional Provider (or the highest ranked previously unsuccessful Bidder) where there are capacity issues within that Lot.
The Commissioner reserves the right to add a Lot or Lots for additional service requirements and run a competitive process to award Bidders onto this Lot/s.

Value excluding VAT: £65,249,600

Maximum number of lots that may be awarded to one tenderer: 4
The contracting authority reserves the right to award contracts combining the following lots or groups of lots:

• the Contracting Authority has not been able to award a Contract after running a Contract Opportunity process in a specific Lot.
• where geographical coverage requires expanding

• where the requirement requires more capacity than may be available in a particular Lot

Precise information on deadline(s) for review procedures
The contracting authority will incorporate a minimum 10 calendar day standstill period following electronic notification (minimum of 15 calendar days for any other means of communication) to Bidders of the award decision. This period allows unsuccessful Bidders to seek further
clarification from the contracting authority before the contract is entered into. If an appeal regarding the award of a contract has not been successfully resolved the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (Si 2015 No 102) provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland). Any such action must be brought promptly . Where a contract has not been entered into the Court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order the authority to amend any document and may award damages. If the contract has been entered into the Court may only award damages. The purpose of the standstill period referred to above is to allow parties to apply to the Courts to set aside the award decision before the contract is entered into.
