Community and Supported Living Light Touch Framework

Descriptions

Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council (the Council) is looking to establish a framework of providers to undertake Community and Supported Living Light Touch Framework within the local authority area. The framework is split into three Tiers as follows: Tier 1 - Standard Support Learning Disabilities Autistic Adults Mental Health Physical Disability / Sensory Impairment Tier 2 – Complex Support* Learning Disabilities Autistic Adults Mental Health Physical Disability / Sensory Impairment Tier 3 – Enhanced Support Learning Disabilities Autistic Adults Mental Health The framework will be in place for 5 years with an option to extend for a further two years. The framework will commence on the 1st August 2026. The Council is carrying out this tender process in line with the Procurement Act 2023 (“the Act”) under a Light Touch contract. Since the services being procured fall under the definition of a Light Touch Contract as stated in the Act, this procurement will follow the relevant provisions of the Procurement Act 2023 for Light Touch Contracts. While the Council intends to launch the Framework with a single deadline, it reserves the right to reopen opportunities at its discretion throughout the framework agreement’s lifetime. There is no predetermined schedule for when this reopening might occur. The Council may open one or more Tiers whenever it deems necessary and also retains the ability to refresh the Framework during its duration. Based on the value of the current ACSES Framework , the total value of this framework is estimated to be in the region of £123 million over its full 7-year term. This figure assumes that all the existing expenditure would transfer to this framework – which may not be the case, therefore the Council does not guarantee this amount or any particular level of expenditure in any category within the framework, as it depends on service demand and available support capacity. Please note, this figure accounts for the costs of current support packages provided by existing providers, which will continue to be directly awarded under the new framework. This value does not apply exclusively to new care packages. The Council has estimated the total value of this framework based on historic expenditure data and anticipated requirements. However, due to the nature of future call-offs and potential changes in demand, actual spend may exceed this estimated amount.
