Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Northamptonshire County Council is inviting tenders for the provision of Tier 2 Home Care Services, a crucial initiative within the health and social work services sector. This open procurement is currently active and aims to establish a framework for suppliers to cover the remaining 20-30% of home care volume in designated geographical zones, complementing existing arrangements with lead providers. The tender period ends on 9 November 2018, while the subsequent contract is expected to commence on 1 April 2019 and will last for three years, with an option for a 24-month extension. The services will be deployed throughout the East Midlands region of England, responding to local demands for personalised care and support.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the health and social care sector, particularly those SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations that can deliver home care services with a focus on dignity and personalised support. Companies capable of working collaboratively with lead providers and the Northamptonshire County Council are well-suited to compete in this open procurement process. By engaging in this framework, businesses can expand their client base and significantly contribute to community well-being while enhancing their service delivery capabilities.

Notice Description

Northamptonshire County Council (the "Authority") wishes to invite Tenders for the supply of Tier 2 Home Care Services. The successful Provider(s) will be responsible for providing support to the Lead Providers and liaising closely with the Contract Manager identified by the Authority. The Authority is procuring a framework with the intention of selecting suppliers across fifteen (15) Home Care Services Lots. The framework is for three years with an option to extend for 24 months. Northamptonshire currently have contracts with Lead Providers in the 15 Geographical Zones. The lead providers aim to cover 70-80% of the available volume of home care in each Operational Zone. This framework is for a list of approved providers to cover the remaining 20-30% of volume in each of the geographical zones and will replace the existing Dynamic Purchasing System(DPS) which is due to expire in 2019. If during the life of the framework a Provider becomes unable to fulfil their contractual requirements under the awarded Lot or Operational Zone, the Authority will at its discretion reopen the framework to source a new provider. In general terms and for the purposes of this Tender, 'Home Care Services' should be taken to mean treating a Service User with dignity, compassion and respect, focusing on their health and well-being. Offering a personalised co-ordinated method of care, support or treatment, and supporting the Service User to recognise and develop their own strengths and abilities to enable them to live a fulfilling life (this definition should not be considered as exhaustive).
