Notice Title

Notice Description

** Suppliers shall note that this is a UK1 Pipeline Notice and is not a call for competition. It is intended to provide the forecast of the impending procurement opportunity in line with Section 93 of the Procurement Act 2023, but may be amended after publication. There is no guarantee that a tender opportunity will result from this notice and neither does it commit the Council to procuring any contract. However, should a tender opportunity materialise, further detailed notice(s) would be published in line with the Council's obligations. At this stage, no input is required from potential Suppliers, and no further details are available on this opportunity. Furthermore, in preparation for any imminent opportunities, Suppliers are encouraged to register on the Central Digital Platform (Find a Tender Service: https://signin.account.gov.uk/sign-in-or-create). To assist prospective Suppliers, Cabinet Office have published video guides with accompanying PDF user manuals which will help Suppliers understand and navigate the platform, including how to register, upload organisational information and search and bid for opportunities. Please click on the following link: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/information-and-guidance-for-suppliers. ** The service provides a wide range of day activities and opportunities, both building based and in the wider community, to support people to improve and maintain their independence, and to give family carers a break. The aim of Day Opportunities Services is to improve and maintain people's health and wellbeing and maximise their potential for independence. The services give family carers a break and help prevent carer breakdown. Services directly contribute to strategic objectives which include reducing dependency on statutory services, delaying and reducing the need for care and support, reducing social isolation and loneliness and helping to identify local resources that people can access directly without the need for assessment or referral via the Council. This is a Jointly funded contract by Leicester City Council and ICB.
