Description

This tender is applicable to selected Supported Living Schemes located within the boundaries of the Borough of Stockton-on-Tees. The Supported Living Provider(s) will be registered with the Care Quality Commission for the regulated service - Personal Care, as this is likely to be a required part of the majority of commissioned care and support services. Supported Living Services in Stockton-on-Tees Borough are delivered under a number of models: (Lots 1 & 2) Large Building-based schemes, (Lots 3-6 = Direct Award) schemes where the Care and Support Provider is also the owner/landlord of the Supported living scheme (and therefore holds an "exclusive right" to deliver services from the scheme), and various smaller Core and cluster schemes. This tender relates to the first two types of scheme only, with the Core and cluster schemes being programmed for a further tender, in February 2026. For the larger Building-based schemes, we are making it a Condition of Participation that bidders can demonstrate equivalent experience in delivering a scheme of a similar size and scale. If equivalent experience is not evidenced, then bids would be considered unsuitable and would be rejected and any submitted award questionnaire would be immediately disqualified. The Phase 1 (larger Supported Living Schemes) are: Acorn House - 14 tenants (Lot 1) Kirkdale House - 23 tenants (Lot 2) Phase 2, Lots 3-6 (Direct Award) Future Phase 3 - Where potential bidders are delivering smaller schemes that are not equivalent to larger building-based schemes, we would welcome bids in the February 2026 tender.
