This procurement falls within the health and social work services category and is classified as a selective procurement method under a restricted procedure. The procurement phase is currently active, with a tender period that ends on 15 January 2021, and the expected contract start date is 8 February 2021, lasting until 7 February 2027. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health and social care sector, particularly those that can provide residential and nursing care services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to apply, particularly if they have the capacity to join the Care Home Alliance through future mini competitions. With the Care Home Alliance remaining open to new providers for six years, companies can position themselves for long-term collaboration with Wiltshire Council. ## Notice Wiltshire Council, 'the Council', is seeking to create an Alliance of Residential and Nursing care home providers to provide residential and nursing care home bed services in Wiltshire. The Care Home Alliance will be created by establishing a Pseudo Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to procure these services which fall within the light-touch regime (LTR - PCR 2015 Regulations 74-77). The Pseudo DPS will in many respects look and feel like a DPS set up under PCR 2015 Regulation 34, but the flexibility of the LTR will apply. None of the formal procedural rules have any direct application including the requirements of Regulation 34. Wiltshire Council makes this distinction to avoid implying that it will follow, or be bound by, the full procurement regime under PCR 2015 for this procurement. This initial procurement is to establish the Care Home Alliance and during the term of the DPS new providers will be able to apply to join. The Council wish to use the Care Home Alliance to purchase residential and nursing care home placements. This will be procured by future mini competitions following the establishment of the Care Home Alliance. On successful application in response to a mini competition a provider will be awarded a contract to deliver such services. The Council anticipates that it will, over time, extend the Pseudo DPS to procure further categories of Care Home services. It is the intention of the Council for the Care Home Alliance to remain open to new Providers for a 6-year period, with an anticipated service commencement date of the 8th February 2021. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/46abeeab-6da6-429a-a3b5-ff91f0ce6501 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Dynamic | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 Dec 2020 | | Submission deadline | 15 Jan 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 8 Feb 2021 - 7 Feb 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | 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 | WILTSHIRE COUNCIL | | Locality | TROWBRIDGE | | Post town | Bath | | Postcode | BA14 8JN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK72 Wiltshire | | Local authority | Wiltshire | | Electoral ward | Trowbridge Central | | Westminster constituency | South West Wiltshire | | 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 - 16 Dec 2020 at 15:21 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/46abeeab-6da6-429a-a3b5-ff91f0ce6501 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/46abeeab-6da6-429a-a3b5-ff91f0ce6501 16th December 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.wiltshire.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
