The procurement process is currently at the planning stage, with a market engagement event scheduled for 10th December 2018. The tender period concludes on 30th January 2019, and it is anticipated that the contract will commence on 31st January 2019, lasting until 1st February 2019. The contract value is estimated at £13 million and falls under the category of health and social work services. This tender presents a significant opportunity for organisations involved in social care and social investment, particularly those that can deliver outcomes-focused solutions. Businesses that provide educational support, community engagement strategies, or innovative social care models are well-suited to compete. Participating in this procurement process could help enhance service delivery in the community while driving growth and securing funding through the Social Impact Bond framework. The engagement event offers a platform for networking and collaboration among potential stakeholders, paving the way for impactful partnerships. ## Notice Lancashire County Council intends to commission an outcome based Contract for an Edge of Care Service. The Council openly invited stakeholders to express their interest in participating in a market engagement event, which was scheduled for 10th December 2018. The purpose of the event was to share the Council's commissioning strategy for the service, engage participants to provide feedback on the service specification and plan towards any potential forthcoming procurement. During the event commissioners presented the Council's commissioning intensions for an outcomes based Edge of Care Service and feedback was sought through questionnaires and open discussions which the Council will consider and amend the Specification as appropriate. The draft specification, presentations from the market engagement event and summary of feedback received and discussion held with stakeholders on included on this page below. Summary of the Councils Proposed Service Lancashire County Council intends to commission on a payment for outcomes basis a service to improve life chances for children and young people in some of the most deprived areas of Lancashire. The specific social issue the service seeks to address is a combination of avoiding the unnecessary entry of children and young people into care, reducing their duration in care, and impacting upon their high Risk of Not in Education, Employment, or Training (NEET) through improving educational engagement and reading age. The Authority has been awarded a grant in principle by the Life Chances Fund to make a partial contribution to the outcome payments for the establishment of this Outcomes based Contract. The service will operate at the cusp of care and either side of the care divide and be targeted on primary and secondary school-age children and young people within the Burnley, Hyndburn, Pendle and Preston areas. Based upon the anticipated size of the contract it is envisaged that the Service Providers solution will involve social investment and a Social Investment Bond (SIB) approach (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/social-impact-bonds). The Authority will not define the form of the Authority's SIB structure, but expects these to be under arrangements through which a social investor provides at least 50.1% of the funding in order for it to be complaint with the requirements for central government support via the Life Chances Fund. It is anticipated that a Social Impact Bond approach will underpin the outcomes based service and that the SIB contract holder will commission independent evaluation to support continuous improvement and shared learning. It is our intension that the contract would commence in September 2019. Next Steps The Council may share its commissioning intentions with stakeholders using this medium late January 2019. It is likely that the any potential procurement exercise will not be undertaken before January 2019. Please keep updated via our tenders pages, further info will be available. Additional information: Please note that this is not a tender exercise and participation (or non-participation) in dialogue will confer no advantage or disadvantage should commissioners commence a formal procurement process. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/410fe850-fdcc-4ce5-8f41-a84898af79df | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - Market Engagement event | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 10 Jan 2019 | | Submission deadline | 30 Jan 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Jan 2019 - 1 Feb 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £13,000,000 | | 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 | LANCASHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | PRESTON | | Post town | Preston | | Postcode | PR1 0LD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD4 Lancashire | | ITL 3 | TLD45 Mid Lancashire | | Local authority | Preston | | Electoral ward | City Centre | | Westminster constituency | Preston | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 10 Jan 2019 at 12:19 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/410fe850-fdcc-4ce5-8f41-a84898af79df - 10 Jan 2019 at 12:04 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/410fe850-fdcc-4ce5-8f41-a84898af79df - 19 Dec 2018 at 15:40 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/410fe850-fdcc-4ce5-8f41-a84898af79df - 10 Dec 2018 at 13:04 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/410fe850-fdcc-4ce5-8f41-a84898af79df - 26 Nov 2018 at 15:30 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/410fe850-fdcc-4ce5-8f41-a84898af79df - 26 Nov 2018 at 15:22 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/410fe850-fdcc-4ce5-8f41-a84898af79df - 5 Nov 2018 at 15:24 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/410fe850-fdcc-4ce5-8f41-a84898af79df - 2 Nov 2018 at 14:52 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/410fe850-fdcc-4ce5-8f41-a84898af79df ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/410fe850-fdcc-4ce5-8f41-a84898af79df 10th January 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - http://www3.lancashire.gov.uk/corporate/web/?siteid=6864&pageid=41137&e=e To apply please use the link below - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/6de323be-3fba-46ef-b259-d9389dad1563 Draft specification - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c76e392c-389f-4e3f-9841-6906ed5f28f2 Edge of Care Market Engagement Presentation - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/9d13a317-c28d-4fe2-a45c-1ee5192b56b8 Notes from Market Engagement Event ## Notice URLs - https://www.gov.uk/guidance/social-impact-bonds ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
