Shropshire Council is seeking a service provider to manage on its behalf Kempsfield, a 20 bed residential care home situated in Shrewsbury, Shropshire. It is currently owned and managed by Shropshire Council and has been in operation since the early 1980's. The home currently has 12 permanent and 1 temporary residents aged between 52 to 78 some of whom require significant support. The Home is well established within the local community and residents enjoy a range of community activities within the local vicinity and further afield through regular holidays and day trips. The home is staffed by a stable and experienced staff group employed by Shropshire Council and applicants should note that it is considered that the Employee ‘Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations ‘2006 (‘TUPE') will apply to this contract. Also compliance with the provisions The Best Value Authorities Staff Transfers (Pensions) Direction 2007, in relation to the Local Government Pension Scheme (as administered by Shropshire County Pension Fund) will also be required. Applicants are advised to seek their own legal advice about the practicality of these regulations. The Home is currently run to a high standard and has received favourable CQC inspections, however it is not a style of service Shropshire Council would recognise as best practice and is in need of transformation. Shropshire Council is wishing to modernise the style of accommodation and transfer the existing service to a new provider willing to undertake both continuity of service provision in the first instance and redevelopment of the premise into supported living accommodation within 3 years for up to 14 residents with a learning disability, to include those currently living at Kempsfield. The Council is currently facing unprecedented financial pressures and is unable to invest any capital in any redevelopment. Prospective operators will therefore have to secure and provide the necessary capital investment to undertake the redevelopment works. The Council is initially proposing, in order for the redevelopment works to take place, to offer a thirty year lease of the property at a peppercorn rent with an option to acquire a long leasehold interest of 125 years by payment of a premium on or after the fifth anniversary of the lease term. The Council is also proposing a service contract for an initial period of 5 years with the option for further extensions up to a maximum of a further 5 years. However under this competitive dialogue process bidders may put forward any alternative proposals including an offer to acquire the freehold or any variant to the Council's initial proposals. The Council would wish to retain full nomination rights to the redeveloped service. The Council is seeking a prime service provider with a track record of providing innovative housing support and the experience of being able to affect the type of transformation required. The Council will consider applications by which a sole organisation provides both the service provision and also the required redevelopment or from a consortia approach. The council will require a prospective provider to supply and manage the accommodation requirements of the existing residents during the period of redevelopment. The service provider will work in accordance with the ‘Safeguarding adults: multi-agency policy and procedures for the West Midlands' The Council wishes to maximise the social and economic impact of the proposed solution and therefore will be seeking a provider who can support volunteering, training and employment opportunities both locally and for service users, and who will actively support the local supply chain both during redevelopment of the service and during normal operation. Please note that the services covered by this contract are Part B services under the EU Procurement Directive 2004/18/EC and The Public Contract Regulations 2006. Accordingly whilst the full regulations will not apply the Council will follow a process based on the principles of transparency. The Council will treat all economic operators equally and in a non-discriminatory way. Shropshire Council is inviting interested organisations to participate in a Competitive Dialogue Process. The Submission of the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) represents the first stage of the competitive dialogue process. The purpose of the competitive dialogue is to identify the solution and bidder who can best meet the Council's needs and objectives for this project. Through this pre-qualification stage the Council will select bidders who will be short-listed and taken forward to the next stage of the competitive dialogue process where they will be invited to submit outline proposals (ISOP). It is the Council's intention to select up to five bidders to be issued with the ISOP (provided there are five suitably qualified Bidders at the PQQ evaluation stage). Interested applicants should request a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire by emailing procurement@shropshire.gov.uk quoting reference EMC 008. In addition to the PQQ all applicants will be issued at the same time with the draft Invitation to Submit Outline Proposals documentation for their information only, it is not intended that they submit a bid until they are selected and invited to do so.
