## Summary

Gloucestershire County Council is launching a tender titled "Home Care and Continuing Health Care in Urban Areas of Gloucestershire," focusing on health and social work services. The procurement process aims to establish a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to provide community-based support in the urban regions of Gloucestershire, specifically the Gloucester and Cheltenham districts. The tender period is set to close on 30 April 2018, with service contracts commencing on 1 May 2018 and running until 30 September 2023. Total estimated contract value is £60 million, with a minimum threshold of £20 million.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those in health care, social work services, and the provision of home care. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to apply. Companies can apply for specific services and zones, allowing for collaboration and tailored offerings to meet the diverse care needs within the designated areas. This flexibility could facilitate new partnerships and expanded service delivery across the region.

## Notice

Gloucestershire County Council in partnership with the Gloucestershire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is commissioning Community Based Support services in the home for Health and Social Care within Gloucestershire. Our commissioning intention is to keep people safe, well and as independent as possible in their own homes for as long as possible. This notice is in relation to establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to operate within the Urban areas of Gloucestershire (Gloucester district and Cheltenham district) to support and strengthen current provision within the two areas. The DPS will run for a period of five years. To access documents please register on our e-procurement portal: www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk. Please ensure that any application, questions and clarifications are sent through this e-procurement portal. Note: The Services required under this procurement fall within Schedule 3 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/102), hence the Authority is not bound by all of the prescriptive requirements of the said Regulations. The Authority therefore reserves the right to follow its own modified version of the process prescribed under Regulation 34 of the said Regulations for admitting candidates to the DPS and awarding contracts thereunder. Within each Zone, there is a requirement for a number of Service Types: * Home Care including waking nights, sleeping nights and live in care * Continuing Health Care * Continuing Health Care Complex Providers can apply to work in both Zones if they wish or only one, and similarly Providers can choose which Service Types they apply for within each Zone. Providers do not have to cover a full zone if they do not wish to as over the course of the DPS, we want providers to collaborate to deliver all the care needs in a Zone. There is no limit on the number of Providers we will accept on to this Dynamic Rural Purchasing System.
