This selective tender aims to select up to five additional providers to support adults with moderate to severe learning disabilities. The procurement process is in the active stage, with an application deadline set for 12:00 noon on 29th April 2019. The anticipated contract period is from 1st July 2019 until 31st March 2023, and this engagement falls under the health and social work services category, with a total estimated value of £47,437,500. The procurement method employed for this call is the restricted procedure, allowing for mini-competitions or direct awards from the framework. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in providing care and support services for individuals with learning disabilities, particularly those that have innovative strategies for promoting independent living. Companies well-suited to compete include small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with experience in health and social care, especially those that can demonstrate a capability to offer high-quality, tailored solutions aimed at vulnerable populations. Providers who are already part of this framework are not required to re-tender, allowing new entrants to vie for the remaining spots in this critical social care initiative. ## Notice The CSSH Framework was originally open for applications in October 2018. As this is a LTR Framework Agreement, the Contracting Authority reserved the right to re-open the Framework Agreement at its discretion, and increase the number of Providers on each Service Category. The Authority is now re-opening the CSSH Framework for applications for "Service Category 3 - Learning Disability" only, and is for up to five additional Providers. Service Category 3 - Learning Disability - Adults with moderate or severe learning disabilities - who have additional needs arising from multiple disabilities which may include complex health needs, and/or physical disabilities or mental health problems. The CSSH Framework will incorporate a simple and cost effective process of calling off services from providers, either by mini-competition or direct award. It is anticipated that the CSSH Framework will support people to move from a residential care setting, or their own homes, into suitable accommodation where care and support can be effectively accessed. The CSSH Framework will also help to achieve the quality, continuity, affordability, availability and comprehensiveness for the services required. Suitable providers are therefore encouraged to apply for future opportunities and propose new models for implementation within the county so that independent living for vulnerable people can be promoted. The same evaluation criteria will be used if the Framework Agreement. The rankings for the Service Category may alter - all current Providers will receive confirmation of the rankings upon award of this re-opened FW (via the ProContract messaging service). Providers who have already been accepted onto "Service Category 3 - Learning Disability" of this Framework Agreement will not need to re-tender. The five highest scoring Potential Providers who meet the evaluation criteria will be accepted onto "Service Category 3 - Learning Disability" of the Framework Agreement and will have the opportunity to be selected for call-offs and further competitions. Providers will be ranked according to the award criteria score under the Service Category. The deadline for completed Framework applications to be received on the LGSS eTendering Portal is 12:00noon on 29th April 2019. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f75f5600-ab69-4158-9931-ed251cd1e723 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 9 Apr 2019 | | Submission deadline | 29 Apr 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Jun 2019 - 31 Mar 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £47,437,500 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Cancelled | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NORTHAMPTONSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | NORTHAMPTON | | Post town | Northampton | | Postcode | NN1 1ED | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF24 West Northamptonshire | | Local authority | West Northamptonshire | | Electoral ward | Castle | | Westminster constituency | Northampton North | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 9 Apr 2019 at 08:59 - TenderCancellation - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f75f5600-ab69-4158-9931-ed251cd1e723 - 29 Mar 2019 at 08:58 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fd25e749-3db0-487b-ac7e-4805cd3e7fee ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f75f5600-ab69-4158-9931-ed251cd1e723 9th April 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fd25e749-3db0-487b-ac7e-4805cd3e7fee 29th March 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Opportunities/Index?p=4d8cb5a5-74dc-e511-810e-000c29c9ba21&v=2 Link to ProContract ## Notice URLs - https://www.lgss.co.uk/about/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
