Summary of the contracting process

Buckinghamshire Council, in collaboration with the Buckinghamshire Clinical Commissioning Group, is conducting a tender for the provision of a care and support service aimed at a young person with complex needs. This procurement falls under the health and social work services category and is based in Buckinghamshire, specifically in Aylesbury. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the tender period will conclude on 15 March 2021. This contract is critical as the young client transitions from a semi-secure hospital placement to a more supportive residential setting, with a proposed contract start date of 7 June 2021, lasting a minimum of three years with possible extensions.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in care and support services, especially those with experience in handling complex cases involving young individuals. Companies that can provide high-quality care within a registered health and social care setting, and are able to foster partnerships with health and educational services, will be well-positioned to compete. The awarded contract, valued at approximately £2.94 million, necessitates a strong focus on both quality and price, with quality accounting for 60% of the award criteria. This environment fosters potential growth for businesses that excel in providing tailored, compassionate support services for vulnerable populations.
