Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process is managed by Kirklees Council, which is seeking a contractor for the "BIA Managed Solution (KMCAS-133)" project, classified under recruitment services. The tender was closed on 1st August 2019, with the awarded contract having a value of £247,500. The contract period commenced on 25th September 2019 and will continue until 24th September 2020. This direct award aims to address the backlog of Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) assessments in the Yorkshire and the Humber region, specifically in Kirklees, where demand for assessments has significantly increased since 2014.

This contract presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in recruitment services, particularly those with experience in healthcare assessments or social care, to expand their operations. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to consider similar future opportunities, especially if they can provide qualified staff such as Best Interest Assessors and Mental Health Assessors. The ability to address capacity challenges in public health and social care sectors makes this contract particularly relevant for businesses looking to grow in these areas.

Notice Information

Notice Title

BIA Managed Solution (KMCAS-133)

Notice Description

DoLS were introduced in 2009 as part of the Mental Capacity Act 2005. The aim of DoLS is to provide a protection to anyone over the age of 18 receiving care in a registered care home or hospital by legally authorising restrictive care situations for people who lack capacity to consent to them. A Supreme Court judgement in March 2014 set a new, lower threshold for determining a deprivation of liberty in care settings. This led to a significant increase in the number of DoLS applications made both nationally and in Kirklees year on year from 2014. With current capacity, Kirklees process approximately 35 assessments per week to completion, prioritising urgent and further applications. This has resulted in approximately 500 requests for assessments waiting to be completed. In order to reduce the number of unallocated assessments Kirklees has awarded a contract for a managed solution, for the provision of Best Interest Assessors, Mental Health Assessors and Report Quality Assurance. This contract will eliminate the outstanding assessment backlog in year 1 of the contract, with an option for a further 3 x 12 month extensions to provide additional capacity thereafter should this be required.
