This procurement falls under the health and social work services category and is set to occur in the East Midlands. The tender period ends on 23rd July 2020, while the contract is anticipated to commence on 16th November 2020, continuing for an initial 12 months with the possibility of extension up to a total of four years. The procurement method follows a Light Touch Regime and will utilise an open procedure format, allowing for multiple evaluation stages. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health and social care sector, particularly those focused on community services, independent living support, and care homes. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary or community sector enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to compete, given the emphasis on cooperative and innovative service provision. With a total budget of £400,000, this contract aims to establish a pilot service that promotes alternatives to hospital admission, creating a pathway for organisations to develop supportive and responsive care solutions within the community. ## Notice Leicester City Council ('the 'Authority') invites Tenders for the provision of Unplanned Care Service for People in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland with Learning Disabilities. Leicester City Council is leading the procurement and contract management function for the Unplanned Care Service for People in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland with Learning Disabilities on behalf of Leicester City Council, Leicestershire County Council, Rutland County Council District Council, Leicester City Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), East Leicestershire and Rutland CCG, West Leicestershire CCG, and Leicestershire Partnership Trust. The Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Transforming Care Partnership (LLR TCP) includes Leicester City Council, Leicestershire and Rutland County Council, and the three Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs). They are responsible for commissioning health and care services for people in the area. Care is delivered by a range of health and social care providers including the Independent and Voluntary Sector. The LLR TCP is committed to reducing reliance on inpatient care and transforming community-based services through a new service model. The LLR TCP wishes to commission a 12-month pilot Unplanned Care Service (the Service) to inform the longer-term service model of providing alternatives to hospital admission when this is not appropriate. Instead the intention is for people to have the right support at the right time in the community. The Service to be commissioned will be a block-funded 12-month (with options to extend) pilot bed-based service for a minimum of one residential care bed in a care home setting. The proposed Contract will be for an initial period of 12 months to commence on 16th November 2020 (to be confirmed following contract award), with an option to extend, subject to satisfactory performance outcomes and agreement by the Authority, for a further period or periods up to a total of 36 months, taking the contract term to a maximum of 4 years. It is the Authority's preliminary view that TUPE is unlikely to apply in respect of this Contract. The Authority is conducting this procurement under the Light Touch Regime for Social and Other Specific Services, as set out in the Public Contract Regulations 2015, at Section 7 (Regulations 74 to 77) and Schedule 3. The procurement process will not be conducted under the Public Contract Regulations 2015; however, it will be similar to that of an Open procedure. The Process will, unlike an Open Procedure, include the flexibility, as allowed under the Light Touch Regime with various evaluation stages as detailed in this Invitation to Tender documentation. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6e2692e4-39d2-463b-a8c8-e29800adb45d | | 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 | 18 Jun 2020 | | Submission deadline | 23 Jul 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 16 Nov 2020 - 15 Nov 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £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 | LEICESTER CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | LEICESTER | | Post town | Leicester | | Postcode | LE1 1FZ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF21 Leicester | | Local authority | Leicester | | Electoral ward | Castle | | Westminster constituency | Leicester South | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (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 - 18 Jun 2020 at 15:15 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6e2692e4-39d2-463b-a8c8-e29800adb45d - 18 Jun 2020 at 15:05 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c38f4d84-b763-449d-978b-0c9e8b32b328 - 18 Jun 2020 at 15:03 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3120f335-aeed-473c-8043-991e88636219 - 18 Jun 2020 at 13:24 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9c0c4436-e78e-4069-a632-b156f046679b - 18 Jun 2020 at 13:14 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/13690314-1e4a-43c9-801d-fbc1bfc43940 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6e2692e4-39d2-463b-a8c8-e29800adb45d 18th June 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c38f4d84-b763-449d-978b-0c9e8b32b328 18th June 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3120f335-aeed-473c-8043-991e88636219 18th June 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9c0c4436-e78e-4069-a632-b156f046679b 18th June 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/13690314-1e4a-43c9-801d-fbc1bfc43940 18th June 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=0695172b-58b1-ea11-8103-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.leicester.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
