Summary of the contracting process

Worcestershire County Council has completed the procurement process for the "ASC22011 - Positive Days - Day Services DPS" initiative, classified under "Health and social work services". This dynamic purchasing system (DPS) is centred around health services to be rendered throughout Worcestershire (region UKG12), bringing together previous separate systems into a unified framework starting from 1st October 2022. Following an open procurement method, the tender period concluded on 29th July 2022. Contracts under this DPS are awarded for various periods, and the initiative's overall intention is an ongoing open DPS until a subsequent notice is issued. The current procurement stage is the "award" phase with multiple suppliers engaged, spanning from Q4 2023 to Q4 2025.

This tender represents significant opportunities for service providers, especially those already engaged in health, social, and day care support services. Businesses involved in areas like independent living support, community connection services, and personal care can benefit from engaging with this framework. The contract awards to providers like Acton Mill Care Farm, Amber Support Services, and others highlight a competitive yet promising environment for similar organisations aiming to expand their services within the Worcestershire region's dynamic needs framework. The flexible duration and rolling application nature of the DPS also favour businesses looking to enter or expand within the social care sector, adhering to progressive, outcome-focused principles.
