Personalised Extra Care Support for Physical or Sensory Disability Aged 18-55

Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council is soliciting proposals for the provision of personalised extra care support at Lomas Court in Ashton-Under-Lyne. This service is designed for adults aged 18 to 55 with primary physical or sensory disabilities, though referrals are considered on an individual basis for other needs. The program aims to promote independent living and wellbeing, ensuring that residents who age beyond 55 continue to receive appropriate support to sustain their tenancy. The service will operate from a Council-provided building base through a Registered Housing Provider, with an estimated contract value of 2,157,127 GBP. The initial term runs through March 31, 2032, with a possible two-year extension to March 31, 2034. The contract will be awarded based on a Most Economically Advantageous Tender approach, weighted at 50% for quality, 30% for price, and 20% for social value. Key requirements include adherence to the Real Living Wage, GDPR, the Mental Capacity Act, and the requirement for all staff to have enhanced DBS checks. Performance is monitored via the PAMMS system, with critical KPIs requiring 100% reporting of safeguarding concerns, 95% resident satisfaction regarding dignity and respect, and 75% of residents maintaining or improving independence. Payment is structured in thirteen equal instalments every 28 days. Tenders must be submitted electronically via the Chest portal by December 14, 2026.
