Description

THIS IS A TENDER OPPORTUNITY FOR NEW PROVIDERS TO BID TO JOIN AN EXISTING MULTI-PROVIDER CONTRACTUAL ARRANGEMENT.

The South London Commissioning Programme (SLCP) established a multi-provider agreement known as Approved Provider Panel Agreement (APPA) in June 2020 for the delivery of residential and IFA services for children and young people aged 0 - 18years.

The APPA has been established under the Light Touch Regime (LTR); the procurement rules applicable to the procurement of health, social and other services listed at Schedule 3 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This offers the flexibility to admit additional providers to increase capacity.

This is the first refresh tender opportunity for suitably qualified providers to bid to join the APPA.

The APPA has an initial term of 3 years with an option to extend for a further 5 years (2years +2years +1 year), unless otherwise terminated in line with the conditions of contract.

The services under the APPA have been categorised into Lot 1: Residential Child Care Provision [Sub-Lots: Standard and Specialist] and Lot 2: Independent Fostering Agency Provision [Sub-Lots: Standard, Specialist and Emergency].

Please note:
Lot 1 is open for current providers to refresh prices only. No new applications will be accepted.
Lot 2 is open for new applications as well as for current providers to refresh prices.

The tender opportunity is open to Providers in England: rated 'Good or 'Outstanding' by Ofsted, Providers in Scotland: rated "good", "very good" or "outstanding" by the Scottish Care Inspectorate, Providers in Wales: registered with the Wales Care Inspectorate and Providers in Northern Ireland registered with the Northern Ireland Regulation and Quality Improvement Authority (NIRQIA).

The APPA will be accessed initially by the London Boroughs of Croydon and Lambeth.
