The portal aims to enhance the training and development of care professionals in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, supporting approximately 380 care providers and 19,400 individuals in direct care roles. The contract value is £240,000 GBP and the tender deadline is 14th September 2023. The contract period is set to start on 1st November 2023 and end on 31st October 2025. This procurement falls under the main procurement category of services, specifically in the Health and social work services industry category. This open procedure tender by the Cambridgeshire County Council presents opportunities for SMEs and VCSEs that can provide online platform services for the care sector. Businesses specialising in health and social work services or other community, social, and personal services are well-suited to compete. The contracting authority, Cambridgeshire County Council, aims to create a more accessible and incentivised training system for care providers, ultimately improving the quality of care received by vulnerable residents in the region. ## Notice Across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough there are approximately 380 care providers and 19,400 individuals employed to (15,500 in direct care roles) support citizens who require care and support (Skills for Care, 2022). As a partnership of two local authorities, we need to support our providers and develop the market to respond to the growth in demand for care and support and we are in the process of setting out a new workforce strategy for adult social care. Part of this strategy includes ambition to establish a support model for delivering and recording training for care professionals working in independent and local authority services. To meet the ambitions set out in our strategy the Authority are seeking to procure the services of an organisation to host a subscription based online platform which will: a. provide information on training and a list of recommended training providers; b. provide a mechanism for individuals and care providers to log training achieved; c. provide incentives for individuals and care providers to participate in recommended training; and d. provide a mechanism for quality assuring the delivery and assessment of the Care Certificate that our contracted care providers are carrying out. By investing in this model, we hope to improve the take up and quality of training of care professionals across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, and therefore ultimately improve the care service that our vulnerable residents receive. The online service needs to be available for care professional in direct care roles working across all care providers (CQC, non-CQC, domiciliary, residential and community services) and their employers across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. The service will be free at the point of access for care professionals and their employers as will be funded directly by the Authority. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/447caa34-8983-4aae-afc8-8b7641df171f | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Aug 2023 | | Submission deadline | 14 Sep 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Nov 2023 - 31 Oct 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £240,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CAMBRIDGESHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | HUNTINGDON | | Post town | Peterborough | | Postcode | PE28 4YE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH4 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough | | ITL 3 | TLH42 Cambridgeshire CC | | Local authority | Huntingdonshire | | Electoral ward | The Stukeleys | | Westminster constituency | Huntingdon | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 14 Aug 2023 at 12:50 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/447caa34-8983-4aae-afc8-8b7641df171f ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/447caa34-8983-4aae-afc8-8b7641df171f 14th August 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=81ed7739-943a-ee11-8124-005056b64545 Advert Link for ProContract ## Notice URLs - https://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
