Framework Agreement for the Provision of 16+ Supported Accommodation Services

Description

The London Borough of Enfield (the 'contracting authority') is inviting suitably qualified providers to participate in the procurement process for setting up a lotted multiple supplier Framework Agreement for the provision of its 16+ Supported Accommodation Services. The aim of the 16+ Supported Accommodation Services is to provide supported accommodation that promote independence and preparation for adulthood for 16-17-year-old children in care and 18-25-year-old care leavers. The Service is divided into 13 (thirteen) Lots. Successful participants will be able to participate in providing more than one Lot, as appropriate. However, only up to two bidders will be appointed under the two Block Booking Lots. Bidders may apply for and participate in the provision of more than one Lot of the rest of the Lots, subject to the terms of the Framework Agreement. However, only up to 25 Bidders will be appointed under these Lots. From those applying for Block Booking Lots, only those ranked up to two will be awarded the Framework Agreements. The proposed Framework Agreement is for an initial term of 3 years. The contracting authority, at its absolute sole discretion, may exercise an option to extend the Framework Agreement at the end of the initial term for a further one (1) year period subject to the terms of the Framework Agreement and satisfactory performance of the framework providers. The estimated total contract value for the thirteen (13) Lots, plus any required additional support hours, is approximately 28,000,000.00 GBP over the 4 years period (including optional extension). The estimated total values for each Lot are: Lot 1 = 16,800,000 GBP, Lot 2 = 1,400,000 GBP, Lot 3 = 280,000 GBP, Lot 4 = 280,000 GBP, Lot 5 = 1,400,000 GBP, Lot 6 = 280,000 GBP, Lot 7 = 5,600,000 GBP, Lot 8 = 280,000 GBP, Lot 9 = 280,000 GBP, Lot 10 = 280,000 GBP, Lot 11 = 280,000 GBP, Lot 12 = 280,000 GBP, and Lot 13 = 280,000 GBP. £280,000 is expected to be spent on additional support hours that might be purchased across all Lots as necessary throughout the terms of the Framework Agreement. There will be no form of exclusivity or volume that is guaranteed under the resultant Framework Agreement and the contracting authority will be entitled to enter into other contracts and arrangements with other suppliers for the provision of any, or all, of the requirements which are the same as, or similar to those specified under the established Framework Agreement. The procurement is being run as a two-stage process with a pre-selection stage using the core elements of the Standard Selection Questionnaire. A second stage, where shortlisted candidates will be invited to tender will follow. Therefore, during the first stage of the procurement, candidates ranking up to 5 will be shortlisted and invited to bid for the Block Booking Lots and candidates ranking up to 35 will be shortlisted and invited to bid for the rest of the Lots, based on the total scores the candidates achieve in Te Additional information: This only invitation for expression of interest.
