This framework, which starts on 1 March 2025 and extends initially until 31 March 2033, with options to extend for up to three further twenty-four month periods, has an estimated total contract value of £700 million. The framework is innovative, allowing suppliers to join at any time, evaluated annually or when urgent needs arise. Essential criteria include registration as a Home Care Agency with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and maintaining a 'good' or 'outstanding' inspection rating. The first application deadline is 9 December 2024 at noon. This tender presents significant opportunities for growth within the health and social care sector, especially for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Businesses that excel in providing high-quality, person-centred care and those seeking to expand their market presence by becoming pre-qualified suppliers for East Riding of Yorkshire Council will find this framework advantageous. The flexible nature of the Open Framework, which continually refreshes its pool of suppliers, means that even newly established agencies with the required CQC standards can compete effectively, providing robust opportunities for increased business and longer-term contracts. ## Notice East Riding of Yorkshire Council is seeking applications from potential care agencies to be admitted to the Council's new Supported Living Open Framework. This intention is that this framework will be used to commission all supported living schemes or very large packages of care which are contracted through the Council, it will not be used for those individuals who wish to have a direct payment. In the future other models of contract may also be developed, for example individual service funds. Unlike a traditional framework, suppliers can apply to join the open framework at any time and is designed to provide access to a pool of pre-qualified suppliers that can be continually refreshed, however the applications will only be evaluated every 12 months or when the Council identifies an urgent need in particular to direct award to a specific provider. There is no limit to the number of providers awarded a place on the open framework for supported living, however it must be recognised that there are no guaranteed levels of business. It is a requirement that the Agency will be registered as a Home Care Agency with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and any successor body will maintain registration, with no serious compliance issue/s. This Agency is required to have a 'good' or "outstanding" CQC inspection rating - or as a minimum, 'requires improvement' and be able to demonstrate that action is being taken to address the 'requires improvement' inspection rating. The Agency must have a registered office / location such that they must be able to demonstrate how high-quality outcome-focused, person-centred care can be delivered and effectively co-ordinated for any requirements that they apply for. This procurement is conducted under the Light Touch Regime, under the EU Public Contracts Directive 2014/24/EU, as implemented by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015 No. 102) Section 7. The Open Framework starts on 01/03/2025 and the initial end date is 31/03/2033. The Framework includes options to extend up to three further twenty-four month periods at the sole discretion of East Riding of Yorkshire Council with an estimated total contract value of PS700m. The first closing date is noon on 09/12/2024. Further dates are detailed in the tender documents. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/143f6b4d-c219-4db3-9697-53371e059c28 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not applicable | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 25 Oct 2024 | | Submission deadline | 30 Mar 2033 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2033 - 2 Apr 2033 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £700,000,000 | | 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 | EAST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE COUNCIL | | Locality | BEVERLEY | | Post town | Hull | | Postcode | HU17 9BA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE1 East Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire | | ITL 3 | TLE12 East Riding of Yorkshire | | Local authority | East Riding of Yorkshire | | Electoral ward | St Mary's | | Westminster constituency | Beverley and Holderness | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 85300000 - Social work and related services - 85310000 - Social work services - 85312000 - Social work services without accommodation ## Release History - 25 Oct 2024 at 16:37 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/143f6b4d-c219-4db3-9697-53371e059c28 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/143f6b4d-c219-4db3-9697-53371e059c28 25th October 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=87040&B=UK Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/103298 User / Company ## Notice URLs - https://www.eastriding.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
