This procurement falls within the health and social work services category and is situated in the North East region of the United Kingdom. The tender deadline is set for 30th January 2019, with an estimated contract value of £200 million. The selected contract period will commence on 1st April 2019 and conclude on 31st March 2029, utilising an open procurement method. This opportunity presents a significant avenue for business growth, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary/community sector enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in home care and community support services. With the contract being divided into ten geographical lots and a tiered provider system, businesses that can demonstrate a capacity to respond promptly to referrals and meet diverse service user needs will be well-positioned to compete successfully. Firms that can offer innovative care solutions and maintain high-quality service standards will greatly benefit from this procurement initiative. ## Notice This contract is for the provision of home care services for adults with care and support needs, whether funded under social care legislation, as NHS Continuing Health Care, or as aftercare under Section 117 of the Mental Health Act. The aim of the Service is to enable Service Users receiving home and community support to remain in the environment of their choice for as long as possible and to enable them to lead a good quality of life. The contract opportunity will be split into ten Lots based on geographical regions within Northumberland. Within each Lot there will operate a three tiered system, with a single 'Preferred Provider' in place at Tier 1 who will have a right of first refusal for each referral available within that Lot. If the Tier 1 Provider does not respond to the referral within a short timescale, or cannot meet the need, then the referral will be offered to the Providers within Tier 2. Similarly if no Tier 2 Provider responds, or cannot meet the need within a short timeframe then the referral will be offered to any Providers on the third Tier. Further details of the Contracting Authority's requirements are contained within the tender documentation. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/20dc95b0-f830-41d7-b490-65945538a7f9 | | 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 | 14 Dec 2018 | | Submission deadline | 30 Jan 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2019 - 31 Mar 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £200,000,000 | | 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 | NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | MORPETH | | Post town | Newcastle upon Tyne | | Postcode | NE61 2EF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC4 Northumberland, Durham and Tyne & Wear | | ITL 3 | TLC42 Northumberland | | Local authority | Northumberland | | Electoral ward | Morpeth Kirkhill | | Westminster constituency | North Northumberland | | Delivery location | TLC North East (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 - 14 Dec 2018 at 14:15 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/20dc95b0-f830-41d7-b490-65945538a7f9 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/20dc95b0-f830-41d7-b490-65945538a7f9 14th December 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.northumberland.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
