Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council is conducting a procurement process for the Community Health and Wellbeing Service (CHWS), which is a transformative initiative in the health and social work services industry. The procurement is at the tender stage and follows an open procedure, offering opportunities for businesses to engage. The primary focus of this service is to deliver health and care services at home through a collaborative network of providers working on a neighbourhood basis. The contract period spans from 16th September 2024 to 15th March 2026, centred in the Leeds region (UKE42), with a budget allocation of £5,730,000. Interested parties have until 29th January 2024 to submit their proposals for consideration.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health and social care sector to expand their operations by collaborating within a locality model. Companies with experience in homecare services and those capable of fostering community connections would be well-suited to compete, as the service requires specialised knowledge of healthcare delivery tasks. SMEs such as Be Caring Limited and Springfield Home Care Services Limited, already involved as providers, exemplify the type of entities that can thrive in such neighbourhood-based, collaborative service delivery models. Engaging in this process allows businesses to integrate with well-established communication networks and tap into community assets within Leeds, supporting future commissioning aims across the city.

Any such action must be brought promptly (within 30 days beginning with the date when the economic operator first knew or ought to have known that grounds for such action had arisen). Where a contract has not been entered into the court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order the authority to amend any document and may award damages. Following the correct implementation of a10 day standstill period and publication of appropriate notices the court may only award damages once the contract has been entered into"

    "description": "Under Regulation 72 (1) (b) contracts and framework agreements may be modified without a new procurement procedure in accordance with this Part in any of the following cases: - \"(b) for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor that have become necessary and were not included in the initial procurement where a change of contractor - (i) cannot be made for economic or technical reasons such as requirements of interchangeability or interoperability with existing equipment, services or installations procured under the initial procurement, and (ii) would cause significant inconvenience or substantial duplication of costs for the contracting authority, provided that any increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract;\" Regulation 72 (1) (b) (i) & (ii) are deemed to be satisfied for the following reasons: (i) Changes to contractors cannot be made at this stage due to the specialist and technical knowledge of the CHWS Providers as they are testing out a different way of delivering homecare from other Providers. This includes undertaking Delegated Healthcare activity whereby the CHWS Provider staff have been trained to deliver certain healthcare tasks. It would not be feasible within the timescales prior to the recommissioning of citywide homecare to move this to other providers. It would also impact continuity for people using the service. The CHWS Providers are also working more closely with Social Work teams and Occupational Therapists that are based within the specific geographical pilot area with established communication routes and processes, along with the ability to right size packages through a trusted reviewer approach. This is something that is not currently applicable to other homecare Providers. In addition, part of the CHWS contract is around fostering community connections. As such, Pilot providers have been building links and relationships with other organisations in that area in addition to acquiring sound knowledge of the community assets- this would take too much time to replicate if the Providers were to change for such a short, interim period. Modifying the contract maintains separation from citywide provision which allows for clearer comparison and evaluation. The on-going pilot feeds in well to the concept of a locality model which is the basis on which the Council aspires to commission homecare in future across the city. (ii) Terminating the CHWS contract and putting another one in place would have both resource and cost implications for the Council. Due to the nature of the pilot, a significant level of mobilisation would be required if Providers were to be changed. This would cause significant disruption to people in receipt of the service and their family carers, as their support would need to be brokered to other Providers. Many of these people have already moved once to the CHWS providers - so having to move again could impact their wellbeing. The current provider is well-integrated and positioned to deliver this service. A change in provider for this interim period prior to the tender process for citywide homecare provision is therefore not feasible in terms of timescales and resources. he original contract value was PS5,730,000 with the indicative value for this modification being PS2,300,000 which is 40% and therefore meets this condition.",

This includes undertaking Delegated Healthcare activity whereby the CHWS Provider staff have been trained to deliver certain healthcare tasks. It would not be feasible within the timescales prior to the recommissioning of citywide homecare to move this to other providers. It would also impact continuity for people using the service. (ii) Terminating the CHWS contract and putting another one in place would have both resource and cost implications for the Council. Due to the nature of the pilot, a significant level of mobilisation would be required if Providers were to be changed.",
