The procurement falls under the health and social work services category and is designated as an open procedure process. The deadline for applications for Round One is set for 10:00 am on 19th February 2020, with the contract period commencing on 1st April 2020 and concluding on 31st March 2024. The tender may encompass a total value of £26.4 million, with a minimum contract value of £1.6 million, and is located in the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in accommodation and support services, particularly those that can provide innovative housing solutions tailored to the needs of young individuals. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-suited to compete in this procurement, given its focus on flexibility through the Dynamic Purchasing System, enabling various providers to join over the contract period. This re-tender allows for a competitive pricing model that can attract new entrants into the market while meeting the local authority’s statutory duties towards vulnerable young people. ## Notice The procurement is to develop a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) that will ensure quality and safe provision for Children in Care, Care Leavers, Children in Need, and Homeless 16 & 17 year olds. Individual call offs from the DPS will support young people to develop independent living skills and assist toward step down and their own accommodation. The DPS will have providers with a range of accommodation and support packages who will bid for referrals put out by the Commissioning and Placements Team. The service is required to ensure that the local authority fulfils its duty towards Looked after Children and Children who are homeless by providing sufficient local accommodation and prevent the use of Bed and Breakfast provisions for 16 - 18 year olds. There is a statutory duty to provide this provision. If we do not have appropriate safe accommodation for our young people we will not be meeting the duty as a corporate parent and risk vulnerable young people being at risk of exploitation. This is a re-tender of an existing framework, however we now intend to procure services by way of a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), which will allow more flexibility and the potential for new Providers to join during the contract period. Each individual contract will be subject to a mini-competition process and with new providers able to join the DPS at any point, this should enable us to secure a price for services that is competitive and reflective of the market at that time. In exceptional circumstances direct awards may be undertaken dependant on the needs of the young person. Once live, there will be the option for Nottingham City Council Nottinghamshire County Council and Derbyshire County Council to use the DPS for Secondary Competitions and Direct Awards. Additional information: The deadline for applications for Round One is 10.00am on 19/02/2020. It is recommended that you express interest and obtain the documentation well before this time to allow sufficient time to prepare and submit an application.
