## Summary

Cambridgeshire County Council is procuring home and community support services under the title "Cambridgeshire County Council Home and Community Support Services." This contract, valued at £300 million, aims to support residents in Cambridgeshire with eligible social care needs, including those registered with a local GP in Royston, Hertfordshire. The procurement process is currently in the award stage, following an open procedure. The contract period commenced on 3rd October 2019 and will extend until 31st October 2027, with new suppliers able to apply for inclusion in the 'pseudo-Dynamic Purchasing System' every three months.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) operating in the health and social work services sector. Given the ongoing need for support services in the region, businesses specialising in home care services and community support would be well-positioned to compete, particularly those capable of meeting the contract’s eligibility requirements. Companies that can demonstrate expertise in providing high-quality care and support to vulnerable populations will have an advantage in securing contracts under this bidding process.

## Notice

Cambridgeshire County Council and Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) are tendered for home care and community support services for: - All residents of Cambridgeshire who are identified as having eligible social care needs, and; - All residents of Cambridgeshire and Royston in Hertfordshire where individuals are registered with a Cambridgeshire GP, and are eligible for NHS fully funded Continuing Health Care (CHC) and Joint Funded Health Care from Cambridgeshire and Peterborough CCG. The Commissioners have set up a 'pseudo-Dynamic Purchasing System' (DPS) under the 'Light Touch' provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.
