The provider will work collaboratively with a number of providers to fulfil the different elements of the service
Organisations could not bid as Lead Organisation but could provide one or more element were directed to the Lead Organisation if and when a contract is awarded to be considered as a consortium member or sub-contractor.
Bromley's vision is that the service will operate as a single entity with one organisation managing it as Lead Organisation responsible for information sharing and performance monitoring for all elements. They must demonstrate significant reach into community and voluntary sector services operating in the borough and will need to work collaboratively with other providers to fulfil the service requirements. Bids may be from existing consortia or from a group of organisations where one acts as Lead Organisation; the bidding entity, however formed, must be able to provide all of the elements.
Contract start date is 1.10.2017 (or as otherwise directed by the Council). Initial contract period will be for two years with the option to extend for 2 further periods of 1 year. The contract value is based on all extension periods being taken up.
