This open tender, identified as "942/2021", aims to facilitate the purchase of domiciliary and personal care packages for children and young people with disabilities. The tender period is set to end on 2nd December 2021, with contracts expected to commence on 1st April 2022 and run until 1st April 2026. The total estimated value of the service is approximately £6.4 million. Interested parties should note that the engagement will proceed under the Light Touch Regime, reflecting the specific nature of the services required. This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in domiciliary and personal care services, especially those that can provide both standard and complex care solutions. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as the council is open to refreshing the Care Provider Register with new candidates throughout the four-year contract period. Companies equipped to offer high-quality care and match the council's evaluation criteria will be well-positioned to expand their client base via this initiative. ## Notice The London Borough of Croydon is seeking to implement a Care Provider Register for the purchase of domiciliary and personal care packages for children and young people with disabilities. The CPR will enable the Council to purchase domiciliary and personal care (based on an agreed hourly rate) in both single and block arrangements. This will replace the current procedures of spot-purchasing care services on a needs/demand-led basis. The Children with Disabilities Care Provider Register will consist of two individual lots: * Lot 1 - Standard Care * Lot 2 - Complex Care Additional information: The Council has identified that the proposed service provision falls within the scope of "social and other specific services" set out within Schedule 3 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (Regulations). Consequently, the so-called Light Touch Regime will apply to this procurement. The Council is orientating this procurement towards an adapted open procedure as described in Regulation 27 of the Regulations but using a "light touch" approach. The Council does not hold itself bound by the 3 / 7Regulations except to the extent that they apply to the light touch regime as set out in Regulations 74 to 76 of the Regulations. During the 4 year period, the Council reserves the right to refresh the Care Provider Register and admit new providers onto the register who meet the initial quality and price evaluation criteria. The requirements of the Services may vary and quantities shall not be specified, guaranteed or warranted by the Council. The value of the service under the Approved Provider Panel Agreement is estimated to be in the region of PS6.4m for Croydon Council. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a4603f66-b6de-4f85-abba-3c8a4f0a39e2 | | 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 | 1 Nov 2021 | | Submission deadline | 2 Dec 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2022 - 1 Apr 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £6,400,000 | | 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 | CROYDON COUNCIL | | Locality | CROYDON | | Post town | Croydon | | Postcode | CR0 1EA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI6 Outer London - South | | ITL 3 | TLI62 Croydon | | Local authority | Croydon | | Electoral ward | Fairfield | | Westminster constituency | Croydon West | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services - 85300000 - Social work and related services ## Release History - 1 Nov 2021 at 14:16 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a4603f66-b6de-4f85-abba-3c8a4f0a39e2 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a4603f66-b6de-4f85-abba-3c8a4f0a39e2 1st November 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.croydon.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
