This procurement falls under the health and social work services category and is being conducted under the light touch regime, adhering to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The contract, valued at £1,080,000, will be in place for an initial five-year period starting from 1 April 2020, with an option to extend for up to five additional years. The tender period closes on 30 September 2019. This tender presents significant growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations specialising in healthcare, social work services, or community support. Businesses that can demonstrate expertise in delivering care services or providing emergency support will be well-positioned to compete for one of the two lots available in this tender, enhancing their capabilities and market presence in the health and social care sector. ## Notice Kirklees Council ("the Council") wishes to commission a service to provide Carers' Breaks and Emergency Carers Breaks within the Kirklees area. This will be achieved by the provision of a service delivered to the person the Carer cares for ("Cared-for-Person" or "Service User"). The tender will be divided into two Lots:(Lot 1) Carers' Breaks Service - The aim of this service will be to provide opportunities for eligible Carers to experience a break by taking over their caring role and providing support directly to the Cared-for Person allowing the Carer to achieve their identified outcomes. (Lot 2) Short notice emergency carer breaks - The aim of this service is to provide emergency carer breaks at short notice, to reduce pressure on Carers when they are struggling to continue with their caring role. The contract will run initially for a period of five (5) years up to 31 March 2025, with the option to extend the contract by up to a maximum of five (5) further twelve (12) month periods. The Contract relates to services that fall under the "light touch" regime and the procurement exercise will therefore be run in accordance with the PCR 2015 as they apply to "light touch". The Council is following a process similar to the competitive procedure with negotiation under the PCR 2015. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/eef57406-a914-4b09-9669-c049db00e35c | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Negotiated procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Aug 2019 | | Submission deadline | 30 Sep 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2020 - 31 Mar 2030 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,080,000 | | 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 | KIRKLEES COUNCIL | | Locality | HUDDERSFIELD | | Post town | Huddersfield | | Postcode | HD1 2NF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE44 Calderdale and Kirklees | | Local authority | Kirklees | | Electoral ward | Newsome | | Westminster constituency | Huddersfield | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 85300000 - Social work and related services ## Release History - 20 Aug 2019 at 09:58 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/eef57406-a914-4b09-9669-c049db00e35c - 20 Aug 2019 at 09:46 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3dfa1c00-71e5-4e88-b68f-84bc4b45ae85 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/eef57406-a914-4b09-9669-c049db00e35c 20th August 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3dfa1c00-71e5-4e88-b68f-84bc4b45ae85 20th August 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.kirklees.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
