This procurement falls under the health and social work services category and is situated in the South East region of the United Kingdom. The tender process is at the active stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 15 March 2021. The proposed contract start date is 7 June 2021, with a duration of three years and potential extensions of up to four additional years. The procurement method adopted is an open procedure, allowing broader participation. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for organisations specialising in care services, particularly those equipped to manage complex needs of young people in residential settings. Businesses that can demonstrate experience in collaborative work with health, social care, and educational providers will be particularly well-suited to compete. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the procurement guidelines suggest suitability for this sector, making it a prime opportunity for innovative care providers looking to expand their operations in the community care landscape. ## Notice Buckinghamshire Council (BC), in partnership with the Buckinghamshire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), are looking to procure a contract to provide the care and support service for a placement for a young person (the client) with complex needs. The client is currently in a semi-secure hospital placement but has been assessed as ready for discharge into the community with a Care Plan for him to transition to a Residential Children's Home. The provider will be responsible for the delivery of the contracted care and support service for the client within a joint Ofsted and CQC registered setting. The property in Buckinghamshire will be developed by the local authority and leased to the provider for the period of the contract. The provider will need to work closely with the health, social care and education services to meet the client's social, educational and medical needs. The placement will be jointly funded by the CCG and BC's social care and education departments with Buckinghamshire Council acting as the lead commissioning organisation. Given the complex nature of this young person and the need to develop an effective partnership with a provider, this procurement is seeking a block contract for a minimum of three years with an option to extend twice by a further 2 years. The contract start date is proposed as 7 June 2021. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b6658b02-7ab1-438b-b3e7-199b1479020a | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 5 Feb 2021 | | Submission deadline | 15 Mar 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 6 Jun 2021 - 6 Jun 2024 | | 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 | BUCKINGHAMSHIRE COUNCIL | | Locality | AYLESBURY | | Post town | Hemel Hempstead | | Postcode | HP20 1UA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ13 Buckinghamshire | | Local authority | Buckinghamshire | | Electoral ward | Aylesbury North | | Westminster constituency | Aylesbury | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 5 Feb 2021 at 09:19 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b6658b02-7ab1-438b-b3e7-199b1479020a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b6658b02-7ab1-438b-b3e7-199b1479020a 5th February 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=8563da88-4f66-eb11-8108-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - https://www.buckinghamshire.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
