This initiative focuses on the adult social care sector in England, aiming to help providers meet the Data Security & Protection Toolkit (DSPT) standards. The tender period ends on 19th November 2021, with the contract expected to commence on 6th December 2021 and continue until 31st March 2022. The procurement method is open, classified under the CPV code for research and development services and related consultancy services, with a total value of £45,000. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the healthcare and social care sectors, particularly those focused on data security and compliance services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are especially well-suited to participate, given the nature of the support required for non-traditional care providers. Engaging in this procurement can help these businesses expand their service offerings and establish valuable connections within the local care environment. ## Notice The BSBC programme supports the adult social care sector with resources and assistance to help care providers complete the Data Security & Protection Toolkit (DSPT). The DSPT is a free, online self-assessment for health and care providers to evaluate and improve their data and cyber security. It's an ambitious programme with the aim that all CQC registered adult social care services will have completed the DSPT to 'standards met'. The programme is delivered by a diverse group of care sector organisations, including many local care associations, with colleagues from the NHS, ADASS and local councils also involved. Better Security, Better Care is led by a programme board whose members are NHSX, NHS Digital, NHS England and Improvement, the Local Government Association, the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services and, Digital Social Care on behalf of care providers. Reflecting the increased importance of the secure sharing of information between health and care services, the programme wishes to explore and support non-traditional care providers to become DSPT compliant. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/008770fd-0971-49f7-89ba-c8b2a7cd1cdc | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 Oct 2021 | | Submission deadline | 19 Nov 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 6 Dec 2021 - 31 Mar 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £45,000 | | 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 | REGISTERED NURSING HOME ASSOCIATION LIMITED | | Locality | BIRMINGHAM | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B30 3JN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG31 Birmingham | | Local authority | Birmingham | | Electoral ward | King's Norton North | | Westminster constituency | Birmingham Northfield | | 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 - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 85 - Health and social work services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 27 Oct 2021 at 10:46 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/008770fd-0971-49f7-89ba-c8b2a7cd1cdc ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/008770fd-0971-49f7-89ba-c8b2a7cd1cdc 27th October 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/130060ee-4ded-437c-b638-9e92c6234128 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
