Specialist Residential Care Home
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council is overseeing a procurement process for a specialised residential care home, targeting male adults with complex support needs. This contract, titled "Specialist Residential Care Home," falls under the health and social work services category and the procurement stage has been completed. The council, located at Spindles Shopping Centre, West Street, Oldham, initiated a direct award due to the specific requirements involved with the placement; this approach was necessitated by challenges in finding suitable placements within existing frameworks.
The contract period is scheduled from 3rd February 2026 to 3rd February 2027, and the award notice was published on December 16, 2025. The direct award contract with Consensus Support Services Ltd, an SME based in Colchester, presents significant business growth opportunities for firms specialising in complex residential care services. Companies focusing on autism, sensory needs, or mental health support are well-suited for such tenders.
Such contracts offer substantial potential, not only in financial growth due to the contract value of £275,334.28 but also in establishing long-term partnerships with public authorities like the Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council, facilitating future collaborations in similar projects.
Kingarth is a 7-bed residential service for male adults over 18. Kingarth can support people with autism, sensory needs, complex needs, learning disabilities and mental health needs. 24 hour shared support including a waking night.
15 hours per day 1:1 support (63 hours per week). Constant supervision and support are required, and person will not be free to leave without support. Person will be subject to MOJ restrictions.
P, who will be placed here, has very complex support needs, which has meant that a very specific placement has needed to be found for them. This placement was found in partnership with the NHS GM Complex Cohort team and assessment and preparation has taken several months. Oldham Supported Living framework had been explored but due to PT's complexities and compatibility risks due to the MOJ restrictions these were not suitable.
Placement sourcing began before 01 April 2025 due to transitions work required with PT therefore the GM Framework was not utilised.
