Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves Scotland Excel, acting as the central purchasing body, which is conducting an open tender for the establishment of a National Flexible Framework for Care and Support Services (Care at Home and Supported Living). This procurement is based in Paisley, UK, and aims to facilitate the delivery of care services that support individuals in leading independent lives at home. The tender period is set to end on the 11th of November 2019. The estimated total value of the contract is £560 million, and the evaluation criteria focus on technical aspects (90%) and commercial considerations (10%).

This tender offers significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and organisations in the care sector, particularly those specialised in homecare and support services. Providers that can demonstrate registration with the Care Inspectorate and hold the required quality grades are well-positioned to compete. The flexible framework also allows for new entrants post-establishment, broadening the scope for businesses looking to engage in public sector contracts focused on social care and community support initiatives.

Notice Information

Notice Title

National Flexible Framework for Care and Support Services (Care at Home and Supported Living)

Notice Description

This procurement exercise is to establish a 'National Flexible Framework' in accordance with Regulations 74-76 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 (further referred to as 'the Flexible Framework') for the purchase of Care at Home and Supported Living Services, collectively referred to as Care and Support Services. Care and Support Services will support people to achieve the best possible quality of life, in terms of their personal aspirations, choices and abilities, that enables them to live independently and safely within their own home for as long as practicable. The Flexible Framework allows for New Entrants to be admitted, as providers, after it has been established. Following award, successful providers will also be able to add new services and locations to their service offering in accordance with the terms of the Flexible Framework. The value provided is an ESTIMATE only.

Lot Information

Lot 1

This Flexible Framework is intended to allow Councils and associate members/other bodies to procure a variety of Care and Support Services, all as further described within the published procurement documents. Councils in Scotland have their own current arrangements for the purchase of Care and Support Services. Current care packages will not necessarily transfer over to this new Flexible Framework. This will be a decision for Councils to make in line with their care management and review processes. Scotland Excel chose to follow an open procedure for this process and voluntarily adopted the ESPD (Scotland) for the purpose of assessing whether grounds for exclusion applied and whether tenderers met the published selection criteria. The published selection criteria included the requirement for tenderers to be registered with the Care Inspectorate for the services offered and to hold defined minimum grades under their registration.. Economic operators may be excluded from this process if they are in any of the situations referred to in Regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, the Invitation to Tender contained on PCS and is relevant to this procurement and the other procurement documents for further information.
