This process falls under the social services category and is located in the East of England, specifically Norwich. The framework is scheduled to commence on 1st October 2019 and will run for five years, with a possible extension. The tender period for submissions will close on 30th September 2019. The procurement is classified under the CPV codes for domestic help and nursing personnel, employing a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement. This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in the provision of care services. Businesses capable of supplying qualified and trained care workers on a flexible basis would be particularly well-suited to compete. The framework allows for short-term staffing solutions, opening avenues for agencies to collaborate with Norse Care Limited in meeting fluctuating care demands for its residents across various care homes. ## Notice NorseCare Ltd wishes to procure an open framework with a range of different domiciliary care providers delivering residential and nursing care services to adults on an agency supply basis, across our portfolio of Care Homes and Housing With Care Schemes. The framework will be for 5 years from October 2019, with the option to extend for up to a further 5 years; subject to agreement of NorseCare Ltd with the service providers. NorseCare Ltd is subject to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, and will be carrying out this procurement in accordance with the Light Touch Regime which applies to social services. The basis of this framework is for NorseCare to seek support from approved agency providers when extra care is required for tenants or residents as stipulated by Norfolk County Council or family and friends of which NorseCare does not have the current capacity to be able to offer. The framework seeks to implement an established group of trusted agencies that can provide competent and suitably trained care workers at an agreed hourly rate to the different NorseCare Residential Care Homes and Housing with Care Schemes. The requirement is likely to be for small periods of time on differing days of the week. Additional information: This is the creation of a framework for agency providers that can supply individual 1-2-1 Care to NorseCare's residents and tenants when a bespoke situation exists. This is not a standard agency contract rather a framework for care worker supply for short periods of time on non fixed days and dates. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/07121c27-33cc-4a14-98c7-a86f73b1d924 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a framework agreement | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Aug 2019 | | Submission deadline | 30 Sep 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Sep 2019 - 1 Oct 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £950,000 | | 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 | NORSE CARE LIMITED | | Locality | NORWICH | | Post town | Norwich | | Postcode | NR7 0HR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH5 Norfolk | | ITL 3 | TLH51 Norwich and East Norfolk | | Local authority | Broadland | | Electoral ward | Thorpe St Andrew South East | | Westminster constituency | Norwich North | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79622000 - Supply services of domestic help personnel - 79624000 - Supply services of nursing personnel ## Release History - 29 Aug 2019 at 14:42 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/07121c27-33cc-4a14-98c7-a86f73b1d924 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/07121c27-33cc-4a14-98c7-a86f73b1d924 29th August 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/92bfdf6c-f984-4e5b-bd19-ab7bac15105b Application Form - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/6cbe6a78-752a-4d63-a274-33068ea320d4 Framework Terms and Conditions - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/28587809-0c09-4db2-b142-5a9ba6a99ccf Appendix A - Provider Portfolio - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/7f7a88a7-527a-4f93-8bcb-60bd3559a7b1 Appendix B - Locations - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/f9bb0f46-56b5-497a-9b03-09eee44347af Appendix C - Recital Document - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/31dacc90-7d44-40c0-a8cb-3a52a305b309 Appendix D - Important Legal Notice ## Notice URLs - http://www.norsecare.co.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
