## Notice

Leicester City Council ('the 'Authority') invited Tenders for the provision of Day Opportunities Services. Leicester City Council led the procurement on behalf of Leicester City Council and the Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Integrated Care Board (LLR ICB), previously known as the Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Clinical Commissioning Group (LLR CCG). Day Opportunities Services support and enable people to access and participate in a variety of activities and opportunities, during the daytime, that help them to meet their social care and/or health needs. Services will support the delivery of outcomes for people, and their families, who draw on social care support and see them being empowered and supported to participate in opportunities that enable them to meet their agreed outcomes as part of their support plan. The activities and opportunities available will depend on an individual's needs and interests. General examples may include, but are not limited to, IT training, cooking/baking, confidence building, friendship groups, sports, games and other leisure activities, household management, exercise, mindfulness and meditation, gardening, art therapy, visits to parks, museums or days out. The Authority has awarded Framework Agreements for each Lot. There is no maximum number of providers to be awarded a Framework Agreement for each Lot. Tenderers should note that Lots 1 to 4 services are commissioned for the Authority only. Lot 5 services are being commissioned for both the Authority and the LLR ICB. The Authority provides no guarantee or volume of any work to any successful provider. The Authority conducted this procurement under the Light Touch Regime for Social and Other Specific Services, as set out in the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (PCR), at Section 7 (Regulations 74 to 77) and Schedule 3. The procurement process was not conducted under the Public Contract Regulations 2015; however, it was similar to that of an Open procedure. The Process did, unlike an Open Procedure, include the flexibility, as allowed under the Light Touch Regime with various evaluation stages as detailed in the Invitation to Tender documentation. The Authority has awarded Framework Agreements for each Lot. There is no maximum number of providers to be awarded a Framework Agreement for each Lot. It is the Authority's preliminary view that TUPE may apply in respect of this Contract. The proposed Contract will be for an initial period of 4 years to commence on 1st April 2023, with an option to extend, subject to satisfactory performance outcomes and agreement by the Authority, for a further period or periods up to a total of 2 years, taking the contract term to a maximum of 6 years. The Invitation to Tender document and its appendices and all other documentation issued to Tenderers sets out the details of the Authority's requirements.
