The contract period spans from July 11, 2024, to July 10, 2029. The procurement falls under the industry category of Health and social work services. The anticipated communication of the full Tender Notice is by April 2, 2024. The Council is seeking one Central Patch provider and a framework of reserve providers. The procurement method is set to follow the Open Procedure of the Public Contracts Regulations (2015). This opportunity is open to SMEs and VCSEs. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the health and social work services sector looking to provide Domiciliary Care Patch Replenishment services in the London Borough of Bromley. Companies interested in providing these services should align with the Council's contract specifications and pricing methodology. The procurement aims to replace the current Central Patch provider while establishing a list of reserve providers. Successful bidders will have the opportunity to secure contracts based on their tender evaluation scores, with a potential for growth as additional Patches may become available for replenishment in the future. ## Notice The Council successfully appointed 8 Patch providers to deliver Domiciliary Care to residents in 2021. The contract period was for five years with one three-year extension (5+3) thus a whole life contract of eight (8) years. However, the council now has a requirement to replenish the Central Patch, as well as create a framework of reserve providers should additional Patches need replenishment for a potential period of 5 years. The council is now publishing an early pin-notice, subject to Executive approval, to inform potential providers of the London borough of Bromley's intention (subject to Executive approval) to publish a full Invitation to Tender (ITT) for: i. One Central Patch provider and ii. A reserve provider framework, of up to four (4) providers for the eventuality that the council is required to replenish any other patches during the next five years. The procurement will follow the Open Procedure of the Public Contracts Regulations (2015). This framework will complement the contracts that are currently in place. The primary aim of this procurement is to ensure that the provider that chose to opt out of the arrangements is replaced (Central Patch) whilst developing a list of up to 4 other providers that could deliver the hours in any of the other available Patches, should a termination notice be given by either the current provider or the council (the latter where there is a breach of contract). It is important to note that the need to call off the framework in the future is not guaranteed and is subject to the need. If an award of contract is granted the provider will be required to adopt the same Contract, Specification and Pricing methodology that is currently in place for the Patch providers. For the avoidance of doubt, there is currently only one Patch contract available/vacant (Central Patch). The new provider will work alongside the remaining Patch Provider, and they will continue to operate as detailed in the original 2021 tender. The new framework tender will conclude on the tender evaluation scores, and these will be presented in descending order; resulting in the Provider that scores the highest score achieving first place. The Providers that score second, third, fourth and fifth highest will be ranked accordingly. Should the need arise to replenish any Patch later or during the procurement, the providers that are ranked 2nd to 5th following the tender will be offered the vacant Patch in order of rank/position and will share the Patch with the other remaining (where applicable) providers. Where more than one Patch becomes available the same process will be applied resulting in the remaining highest ranked provider (who do not already have a Patch contract) being offered the opportunity. When seeking to express an interest in the replenishment framework, Providers must commit to preserving the contract price that they have submitted for the duration of the frame ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bc294022-9974-4ef0-8fca-1a59e6066386 | | Notice type | Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 4 Mar 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 2 Apr 2024 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 10 Jul 2024 - 10 Jul 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £7,500,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LONDON BOROUGH OF BROMLEY | | Locality | BROMLEY | | Post town | Bromley | | Postcode | BR1 3UH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI6 Outer London - South | | ITL 3 | TLI61 Bromley | | Local authority | Bromley | | Electoral ward | Bromley Town | | Westminster constituency | Bromley and Biggin Hill | | 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 - 4 Mar 2024 at 11:41 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bc294022-9974-4ef0-8fca-1a59e6066386 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bc294022-9974-4ef0-8fca-1a59e6066386 4th March 2024 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.bromley.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
