The contract aims to appoint a social enterprise organisation responsible for scrutinising health and social care services in Nottingham and the broader Nottinghamshire region. The procurement process operates under the Light Touch Regime of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 and follows an open procedure method. The tender period is set to end on 25 October 2024, and the anticipated start date for the contract is 1 April 2025, with an initial term of three years and a possible extension of an additional three years. The estimated annual contract value is up to £306,000, totalling £1,836,000 over the full potential term. This tender presents significant opportunities for social enterprise organisations specialising in health and social care services to expand their operations and influence by delivering on the contractual obligations of Healthwatch Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. The successful bidder will have the opportunity to impact local health and social care services by representing community voices and making recommendations to local decision-makers. SMEs (Small and Medium-sized Enterprises) and VCSEs (Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises) are particularly well-suited to bid for this contract, leveraging their expertise in health and social care, as well as their established community ties, to foster business growth and enhanced local service delivery. ## Notice Nottingham City Council and Nottinghamshire County Council (the Authorities) are seeking tenders from sufficiently experienced and qualified organisations, for the provision of a Healthwatch service. The Authorities are jointly re-commissioning a Healthwatch Nottingham and Nottinghamshire service to deliver its statutory duties under the Health and Social Care Act 2012. Legislation states that it must be a social enterprise organisation who delivers the Healthwatch function and therefore we are only able to accept bids from organisations who have this status. Healthwatch Nottingham and Nottinghamshire will scrutinise health and social care services within Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire County. As an independent health and social care champion they will listen to the issues that really matter to local communities, gathering and representing the views of those who use health and social care services, particularly those whose voice is not listened to. They will use this information to make recommendations to decision makers at the City and County Council's and the ICB to make change happen and improve standards of health and social care. The contract duration will be for 3 years with a possible extension of 3 years at both Authorities' discretion. The contract value is estimated to be a maximum of PS306,000 per annum, with the total contract value over the approved 3-year term being PS918,000. The total potential contract value over the full term, including the discretionary extension period, is PS1,836,000, which is subject to further internal approvals being obtained. The anticipated contract start date will be 1 April 2025. This contract will be let under the Light Touch Regime of the Public Contract Regulations 2015. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f12f2e23-a210-4c56-8d94-105d1f5bd859 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Sep 2024 | | Submission deadline | 25 Oct 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2025 - 31 Mar 2031 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,836,000 | | 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 | NOTTINGHAM CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | NOTTINGHAM | | Post town | Nottingham | | Postcode | NG2 3NG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF1 Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | | ITL 3 | TLF14 Nottingham | | Local authority | Nottingham | | Electoral ward | Castle | | Westminster constituency | Nottingham East | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 18 Sep 2024 at 12:14 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f12f2e23-a210-4c56-8d94-105d1f5bd859 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f12f2e23-a210-4c56-8d94-105d1f5bd859 18th September 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.nottinghamcity.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
