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. 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. 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. 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.
