Description
The Provider’s services will have two components: - 1. A Contractor, to build out the site, and 2. A Registered Provider (i.e. an organisation registered with Regulator of Social Housing) as Landlord to manage the property. The above can be the same or two different organisations, but a single party (the Provider) is required to sign the contract, the successful Provider will be contractually responsible for the works and services. Support for the residents will be commissioned separately by the Council under the Council’s Specialist Services Framework. The Provider will not be required to commission the resident care services nor to subsequently manage the care provider, as this obligation will fall to the Council.
