The initial period for submitting requests to participate was set to close on 18 December 2019; however, the nature of the DPS allows for continual applications throughout its duration. This procurement falls under the social work services category, with a total contract value of £92 million and a minimum contract value of £46 million, utilising a selective procurement method. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses engaged in health and social care services, particularly those providing domiciliary care. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector organisations (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to compete for this contract, as the service needs range from minimal to highly specialised support, enabling various providers with differing capacities to engage effectively in the tender process over its projected five-year duration, potentially extending beyond that period. ## Notice Portsmouth City Council ('the council') is inviting requests to participate from suitably qualified suppliers to be admitted to a dynamic purchasing system (DPS) to provide domiciliary care services, ordinarily in Portsmouth but occasionally in the surrounding area. Domiciliary care services support people to remain living successfully in their own homes. The service will help maintain an individual in a reasonable manner of health, hygiene, safety and ease in their own home. The level and type of support service required will be determined in line with each individual's support plan. Support service packages will vary in size based on the individual needs and may range from minimal support up to highly specialised and complex needs. The council is aiming to establish the DPS on 14 January 2020 to commence on 1 February 2020. Requests to participate will be via submission of a selection questionnaire The DPS will be open for an initial period of 5 years, but it is anticipated that it will be extended beyond this on a rolling basis for as long as it is required by the council. The initial closing date for receipt of your request to participate is 18 December 2019, but of course the nature of a DPS is that is will remain open to new suppliers for its duration. If submitting an SSQ after the Initial DPS return deadline suppliers are required to alert the council to the submission using the correspondence function in In-tend and also via email to procurement@portsmouthcc.gov.uk Additional information: Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/caa8a715-999c-4a32-8c74-bc9dee34bc80 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Dynamic | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 17 Jan 2020 | | Submission deadline | 1 Feb 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 2 Feb 2025 - 3 Feb 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £92,000,000 | | 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 | PORTSMOUTH CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | HANTS | | Post town | Portsmouth | | Postcode | PO1 2AL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ3 Hampshire and Isle of Wight | | ITL 3 | TLJ31 Portsmouth | | Local authority | Portsmouth | | Electoral ward | Charles Dickens | | Westminster constituency | Portsmouth South | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 85310000 - Social work services - 85312000 - Social work services without accommodation ## Release History - 17 Jan 2020 at 09:54 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/caa8a715-999c-4a32-8c74-bc9dee34bc80 - 23 Oct 2019 at 15:58 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/caa8a715-999c-4a32-8c74-bc9dee34bc80 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/caa8a715-999c-4a32-8c74-bc9dee34bc80 17th January 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/portsmouthcc/aspx/ Additional information on how to apply for this contract ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
