Summary of the contracting process

The Peterborough City Council has completed the award procedure for a service contract labelled "PRF 1466 – Direct Payment Support Services." The contract involves providing a Direct Payment Support Service to aid individuals in finding and funding their preferred care services. This procurement activity falls within the health and social work services category and is being carried out using a limited procurement method without prior competition. The contract, which commenced on 1st March 2018 for an initial 3 years, has now been extended until 28th February 2025 due to resource constraints and the need to ensure continuity of care services in compliance with the Care Act 2014.

This opportunity to provide Direct Payment Support Services creates a potential business avenue for organisations well-versed in supporting individuals with care needs and aiding them in making informed choices about their care provision. Suitable businesses would need to have the capacity to offer advisory services and facilitate self-funded care options. The contracting authority, Peterborough City Council, is actively seeking suppliers to fulfil this vital role within their region, offering a two-year extension to the existing contract to guarantee uninterrupted service provision while planning for increased resources to support future procurement processes.

Procurement Information

The Direct Payment Support Service (DPSS) provides information and advice to people who receive a Direct Payment from the Council or fund their own care and support. The service helps people to find, recruit and pay for the types of care and support they wish to receive. This enables people with care needs to have greater choice and control over the care they receive. The DPSS contract in Peterborough was awarded to Peterborough Council for Voluntary Service (PCVS) in December 2017 following a tender process held according to Peterborough City Council procurement rules. The contract commenced on 1st March 2018 for 3 years with 2 possible extensions of 12 months. A plan to recommission the DPSS was approved with a planned Invitation to Tender (ITT) issue date of 9th September 2022. This timescale assumed that resources would remain static however, these were depleted to the extent that there is no capacity within the service area to retender the service and so an extension to the current contract is necessary to maintain service provision. It is proposed to extend the service with the current provider for 24 months on a 1+1 year basis (01/03/23-28/02/25) thereby increasing the total contract term to 01/03/2017 - 28/02/2025. This allows sufficient time for a planned increase in resources to support the procurement process. The Council is required to ensure that it provides care in accordance with the Care Act 2014 as supported by the existing contract, which expires on 28th February 2023. Unless the Council extends the existing contract, the Council will not have a contract in place to deliver the essential services and meet its obligation under the Care Act. The Modification has been considered in accordance with Regulation 72(1)(c) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015, which permits contracts to be modified without a new procurement where: (i)the need for modification has been brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority could not have foreseen; (ii)the modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract; (iii)any increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract or framework agreement."
