Technical requirements: The London Borough Bromley is looking to procure the care and support in 6 Extra Care Housing Schemes across the London Borough of Bromley. Extra Care Housing Schemes are specialist housing provision designed to offer a safe environment for older residents who are eligible for additional care needs. A key aspect of Extra Care Housing is that residents are encouraged and supported to maintain their independence whilst having the benefit of planned and responsive emergency care 24/7 when needed.
The tender will be run electronically using the ProContract London Tenders Portal e-tendering system and suppliers interested in accessing the tender document will need to ensure that they are registered with the London Tenders Portal (if they have not already done so) at: www.londontenders.org
Although contractors are able to bid for both lots, in order to minimise risk separate contractors will be appointed to each lot.
The services are predominately for older people, who may have but not limited to mental health needs (including those with dementia, physical / visual or sensory impairments, learning disabilities, chronically sick, terminally ill and those who have alcohol and drugs issues.
The 6 schemes will be tendered in 2 Lots and will contain a combination of Council in-house provided services and external provided support services. There will be a total of 271 units across all schemes. All the properties are owned by social landlords.
The Council will be seeking as a minimum 2 experienced providers (1 for each lot) who must be registered with the Care Quality Commission and promote personalisation and choice within the care and support they provide.
TUPE may apply to both Council staff and other provider staff that currently work within these services. Providers are asked to note the Pension Statement (attached) issued by the Council in relation to the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) and should complete the PQQ having read and agreed this.
Full tender documentation is accessible via the London Tenders Portal and Applicants should complete only the Stage 1 Selection Documents at this stage. The Invitation to Tender and supporting documents should only be completed once an Applicant has been invited to submit a tender following assessment of the Stage 1 responses. Applicants will be informed if they are being invited or not being invited to submit a tender before the end of June (or as otherwise directed by the Council).

Evaluation of the tender will be based on the CIPFA standing guide to the commissioning of local authority work and services tender evaluation model and in full compliance with EU Directives, the Council's Contract Procedure Rules and in accordance with the stated criteria. Tenderers should note that the evaluation of the above criteria for Quality issues, etc. will also include the operation of minimum score thresholds. If the Tenderer's proposal receives a score below the required threshold then the bid may not be considered further. (The minimum acceptable score is a requirement to obtain at least half of the available points in any particular area).
