This is a large award for Health & Social Care — above three-quarters of comparable contracts. Based on 32,734 valued Health & Social Care tenders in our corpus.
Bristol City Council publishes Health & Social Care work continuously — 1626 notices, roughly one every 1 day. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.
65% of Bristol City Council’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.
Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →
Across the (Bristol, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire) BNSSG footprint we want to address three specific needs we have regarding a gap in commissioned provision for three markets. • We have experienced a high demand for specialist support and care (often nurse led) for children and young people • There has been a need to use emergency specialist teams to support children and young people in social care placements, who have mental health problems and find regulating their behaviour challenging • Parent & Child assessment services locally (which relates to young parents aged between 16 and 25 who require a 12-week parenting assessment as part of either pre proceedings or court proceedings.
2 x units (shared accommodation) for 2 x young parents and their baby has been sourced at Priory Court BNSSG local authorities will enter into an inter-authority agreement with users of the framework and call off from this Care and Support framework.
There will be the possibility of a direct award, mini competitions, or a block arrangement, depending on the preferred option.
The Integrated Care Board (ICB) will also call off from this framework.
Therefore, there will be an opportunity for providers to tender for one or more lots, depending on their expertise and specialisms.
Services may be both short and/or longer-term arrangements.
All lots will require providers to be committed to the development of trauma informed practice across all aspects of provision, with Lot 2 requiring a particular skill set in trauma informed practice to support placement stability.
