This procurement falls under the health and social work services category. The tender period is set to close on 13 December 2021, while the contract is scheduled to commence on 17 March 2022 and run until 2 May 2026. The process employs an open procurement method, allowing multiple suppliers to be engaged through a structure designed to enable flexibility under the Light Touch Regime for Social and Other Specific Services. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses experienced in early intervention and prevention services across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. Companies that specialise in hospital discharge and admission avoidance, information and advice, community support, and, to a lesser extent, day opportunities, would be particularly well-suited to participate. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are encouraged to apply, as they can bring innovative approaches and tailored solutions to meet the needs outlined in the procurement requirements. ## Notice Peterborough City Council (PCC), is looking to award an "Pseudo Dynamic Purchasing System" which PCC, Cambridgeshire County Council (CCC) and Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) will be entitled to call off from. The Procurement is being run using a procedure similar to the open procedure described in Regulation 27 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended). However, the Authority reserves the right to deviate from the formalities of the open procedure given the flexibilities permitted by Regulation 76 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended) in the conduct of procurements for "Social and Other Specific Services", otherwise referred to as "Light Touch Regime" procurement. The Authority intends to re-open the multi supplier "pseudo DPS" (referred to as "DPS"). As the DPS Agreement will be "pseudo DPS", it will look and feel similar to a DPS agreement set up under Regulation 34 of the PCR. This means that the Authority envisages the DPS will re-open (6) six months after the DPS start date (May 2021) and then at (12) twelve month intervals (or at other intervals at the Authority's discretion) for new providers to apply or previously unsuccessful providers to re-apply subject to the terms and conditions of the Framework and evaluation process. Tenders are therefore invited from suitably experienced providers who can demonstrate knowledge and experience in the provision of Early Intervention and Prevention across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. The requirements will be split into Lots as detailed below Lot 1 Hospital Discharge and Admission Avoidance Lot 2 Information and Advice Lot 3 Community Support Lot 4 Day Opportunities (This Lot is unlikely to be activated immediately) At the time of issuing this ITT, it is not believed that TUPE Regulations 2006 will apply due the nature of the DPS Contract. It is therefore deemed that no TUPE implications will apply at this time. The Authority envisages that TUPE may apply at the time where the Authority and/or the Partner Organisations issue the Mini Competition Invitation to Tender. Where it applies, relevant TUPE information will be provided in the Mini Competition Invitation to Tender including a TUPE list of existing employees and their terms and conditions of employment and whether or not any of them are existing members of the Local Government Pension Scheme, the NHS Pension Scheme or a private provider of the Authority and Partner Organisations. Bidders should note that further information may be forwarded from existing providers in relation to TUPE which will need to be considered within their Bids. However, Bidders are advised that they should seek independent legal advice on the matter of TUPE and the Authority and Partner Organisations accept no liability for any TUPE-related information or comment set out in this ITT or any subsequent Mini Competition Invitation to Tender. Should it apply then bidders will be required to download, sign ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/35a55e3c-1a72-4d78-a8b5-2c6ee33ebc82 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Dynamic | | 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 | 21 Oct 2021 | | Submission deadline | 13 Dec 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 17 Mar 2022 - 2 May 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | 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 | PETERBOROUGH CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | PETERBOROUGH | | Post town | Peterborough | | Postcode | PE2 8TY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH4 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough | | ITL 3 | TLH41 Peterborough | | Local authority | Peterborough | | Electoral ward | Fletton and Stanground | | Westminster constituency | North West Cambridgeshire | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 21 Oct 2021 at 08:54 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/35a55e3c-1a72-4d78-a8b5-2c6ee33ebc82 - 21 Oct 2021 at 08:24 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/775facd6-c48d-4f11-aa83-61b3d1cde5a4 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/35a55e3c-1a72-4d78-a8b5-2c6ee33ebc82 21st October 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/775facd6-c48d-4f11-aa83-61b3d1cde5a4 21st October 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=4032aaa7-a831-ec11-810e-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - https://www.peterborough.gov.uk/business/supplying-the-council/supply-opportunities ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
