Summary of the contracting process

Staffordshire County Council procured community-based day opportunities for people aged 16 and over with learning disabilities, autistic spectrum conditions, mental ill health, acquired brain injuries, physical disabilities, sensory impairments and behaviours that challenge. The requirement is a health and social work service, also covering other community, social and personal services. It is delivered in Staffordshire. The arrangement is a Light Touch Regime Dynamic Purchasing System, intended to support new community-based day opportunity arrangements and potentially bring existing spot-purchased arrangements into competition. The council is the buyer and the service is relevant to providers offering structured daytime support and community-based activities for adults with a range of support needs.

The procurement is complete and has resulted in three active awards under the single service category. Andrusida Care Limited received two awards: £53,352.96, signed on 31 March 2024, and £6,900.95, signed on 30 June 2024. 1 Step Beyond Support LTD received an award worth £1,041.47, signed on 30 September 2024. The estimated value for the service category was £25,000,000. The route was a selective restricted procedure using a two-stage electronic Dynamic Purchasing System under the Light Touch Regime. The original contract period was 9 March 2020 to 8 March 2023, with stated extension options and a later extension to 29 February 2032. Price was the award criterion, and 16, three and two bids were recorded for the awards.

This procurement demonstrates recurring demand from Staffordshire County Council for community-based daytime support across a broad range of disabilities, mental health needs and behaviours that challenge. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would need the operational capability to design and deliver safe, person-centred day opportunities for people aged 16 and over, including those with complex or varied support requirements. Relevant experience across learning disability, autism, acquired brain injury, sensory impairment, physical disability and mental health services would strengthen credibility. The awards also show that the council uses a competitive electronic Dynamic Purchasing System and assesses offers on price. Providers should therefore be able to operate through an electronic sourcing process, submit clear costed service proposals and demonstrate capacity to deliver locally across Staffordshire.
