Notice Description

Buckinghamshire Council (the Council) is seeking to establish a Dynamic Purchasing Vehicle ("DPV") for the provision of home care Services in Buckinghamshire ("the Services"). The Council is conducting the procurement via the "Light Touch Regime" as set out in the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR 2015). Suppliers will be expected to deliver Services for people assessed as being eligible for health or social care support under the provisions of The Care Act (2014) or The National Framework for NHS Continuing Healthcare and NHS Funded Nursing Care (2022). Additionally, Suppliers will support Individuals being discharged from hospital through the Home First pathway who are awaiting an assessment of need. The Council commissions some of these home care Packages on behalf of Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West (BOB) Integrated Care Board (ICB) ("the ICB"). The DPV will be used to commission home care Services for adults aged 18 + across all care groups in Buckinghamshire. Successful Suppliers should expect to deliver Services to Individuals with eligibility under any of the above pathways. The DPV will be divided into Two (2) lots, representing the range of Services to be delivered. The Lots are: Lot 1: Standard home care Lot 2: Complex/bespoke home care The Council cannot guarantee demand or volumes for the Services or for any of the Lots over the lifetime of the DPV. Appointment of a Supplier to the DPV is no guarantee of business. Suppliers that wish to be appointed to the DPV are required to complete a Selection Questionnaire ("SQ"). All those Suppliers who satisfy the selection requirements set out in the SQ, as evaluated by the Council, will be appointed to the DPV to the Lot(s) for which they have applied. There is no limit on the number of Suppliers that may be appointed to a Lot. Following the establishment of the DPV and successful Suppliers being added (Stage 1), the Council will commence Stage 2 - call offs for Packages of care. The Council will issue mini competitions for Packages, as and when the need arises. All eligible Suppliers within the relevant Lot will be invited to submit bids for such Packages (streamlined further by geographical location for Lot 1). The Council will award each Package to the Supplier in that Lot that can most closely meet the Package requirements based upon evaluation criteria set out.
