This PDPD was established on 18th November 2019, however CF will not allow a contract start date that is prior to SQ deadline, so a nominal date on 20 Nov 23 has been selected in order to re-publish.

The Urgent (Parachute / Caretaking) Primary Medical Care Services under this PDPS fall within the light-touch regime (LTR - PCR 2015 Regulations 74-77). The PDPS in many respects looks and feel like a DPS set up under PCR 2015 Regulation 34, but the flexibility of the LTR will apply. None of the formal procedural rules have any direct application including the requirements of Regulation 34. The Authority makes this distinction to avoid implying that they will follow, or be bound by, the full procurement regime under PCR 2015 for this procurement. This PDPS will be in place for a five-year term commencing 1st December 2019, with an option to extend for a further 12 months. It covers circumstances that may arise that require The Authority to put in place an Urgent Primary Medical Care Services contract where, due to the time limitations, the Authority opts not to undertake an individual procurement process. (This is sometimes also referred to as a Primary Medical Care Parachute or Caretaking service or Emergency Cover). Bidders should therefore note that this PDPS places no obligation on the Authority to procure Services during the term of this PDPS. Individual circumstances may include: unforeseen or short notice circumstances, such as; the unexpected death of a single-handed Provider, or the failure to comply with a contractual breach notice or Care Quality Commission (CQC) essential standards, a termination notice issued by existing Provider or partnership dissolution, or a failed procurement process leading to urgent requirement as result of contract expiry. Important: Please see the attached Contract Notice published in FTS (at sections 'II.2.4 - Description of the procurement' and 'VI.3) Additional information'), for additional information regarding this opportunity that could not be applied here due to character limitations. Additional information: The Services within this PDPS procurement fall within Section 7 of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (the Regulations). Neither the inclusion of the Bidder at Qualification Stage nor the use of the terms Process Overview, Selection Questionnaire, or Invitation to Tender nor any other indication shall be taken to mean that the Authority intends to hold themselves bound by any of the Regulations save those applicable to Public Contracts for social and other specific services listed in Schedule 3 of the Regulations (the Light Touch Regime).
