The total contract value is £21,600,000, including VAT, with an estimated maximum value of £18,000,000 excluding VAT. The procurement method is classified as "Other" and it is currently in the Tender stage, with the tender period set to close on 6th May 2022 at 12:00. The contract is expected to commence on 1st August 2022, lasting for an initial three years with an option to extend for an additional two years, making a total possible duration of five years. Services will be delivered primarily in England. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in social work and related services, particularly those experienced in facilitating Individual Service Funds and self-directed support initiatives. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are encouraged to apply, as their local knowledge and flexible service offerings could align well with the objectives of providing tailored care and support to service users in the community. ## Notice Individual Service Funds (ISFs) were formally introduced in the Care Act (2014), as an option for commissioning self-directed support. They are a mechanism by which an individual's Personal Budget, agreed by a Social Worker, is held by a third party organisation (i.e. neither by the Local Authority nor the Service User) who is trusted by the client to help them find the care and support they need in the local community, be it access to Day Services, a Personal Assistant (PA), equipment needs, live-in care, social prescribing or signposting to other services and voluntary organisations that will help them achieve their agreed outcomes, or indeed a combination of all of the above. It is a form of Self-Directed Support. ISFs are particularly appropriate when service users do not feel confident enough or have the capacity to manage the financial and employer responsibilities of a Direct Payment on their own but still prefer to exercise personal choice and control over how their agreed care and support needs are met. Please note, the contract value, PS21,600,000, includes VAT. The estimated maximum value of the DPS excluding VAT is PS18,000,000. The DPS is expected to start on 01/08/2022 for an initial period of 3 years, with the option to extend for a further 2 years, making 5 years in total. The first round of the DPS is expected to close on the 06/05/2022 at 12:00 ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/463ec643-5f2e-410c-bdcd-021f19306de5 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Apr 2022 | | Submission deadline | 31 Jul 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Jul 2025 - 2 Aug 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £21,600,000 | | 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 | CAMBRIDGESHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | HUNTINGDON | | Post town | Peterborough | | Postcode | PE28 4YE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH4 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough | | ITL 3 | TLH42 Cambridgeshire CC | | Local authority | Huntingdonshire | | Electoral ward | The Stukeleys | | Westminster constituency | Huntingdon | | 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 ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 85300000 - Social work and related services ## Release History - 8 Apr 2022 at 08:49 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/463ec643-5f2e-410c-bdcd-021f19306de5 - 8 Apr 2022 at 08:46 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/45c05fa0-e744-4c82-b18a-36c94a189aec ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/463ec643-5f2e-410c-bdcd-021f19306de5 8th April 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/45c05fa0-e744-4c82-b18a-36c94a189aec 8th April 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert/Index?advertId=2085b69a-219e-ec11-8112-005056b64545 To register an interest, go to the following link ## Notice URLs - https://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
