The County Council is exploring opportunities to work with a Registered Housing Provider (RP) to deliver a conversion of a former respite care property into four flats for adults with learning disabilities, with a separate staff sleep-in area. The Tewin Road site is a brick-built 2-storey property circa 1965, with a single story extension at the rear. It is owned by the County Council and, until June 2021, the property was being used as an overnight short breaks service by Adult Disability Services (ADS) for adults with disabilities. In June 2021it was decommissioned, and currently stands vacant. The existing building is in a good state of repair, with an enclosed garden. The Council is considering options to covert the property by contracting with a developing Registered Housing Provider (RP) to deliver the scheme, supported by a detailed design brief produced by the Council. The developer selection process will be run in accordance with the Council's Contract Regulations and will require bidders to provide a scheme design using experience and expertise in this field. It is the intention that the RP will then lease the property in its entirety from the Council for a term to be determined. The developing RP will be responsible for all housing management, in accordance with the County Councils lease specification and landlord/facilities functions. And will be required to work proactively with any care provider providing care to the tenants. It is proposed the site will be home to 1 (one) tenant per unit and the tenants would hold their own Assured Short Hold Tenancy (AST). Further details can be found in the PPME Document.
