This procurement is classified under health and social work services and is located in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The tender is currently in the active stage, with a submission deadline set for 2nd May 2017, and the awarded contracts expected to commence from 1st June 2017, lasting until 31st May 2018. The procurement method is a selective restricted procedure, with an estimated total value of £1,000,000. This opportunity is particularly suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in care, support, and enablement services. The Framework Agreement comprises two distinct lots: one focusing on services for individuals in their own homes and the other on services for individuals in new tenancies managed by independent entities. Businesses that can offer flexible community-based services and are appropriately registered with the Care Quality Commission can leverage this contract to expand their operations and support more service users in living independently. ## Notice The Council has a model of service delivery for Care, Support and Enablement services for younger adults with disabilities and/or complex needs that is aimed at meeting a range of needs across the County (which excludes Nottingham City). The Council has a number of contracted Providers that deliver these services within the County, operating under a variety of historical contractual arrangements. On occasion the Council also funds these services for Service Users who live outside of the County. Currently a core Provider model is in place whereby four Providers have the contractual responsibility to undertake any new work arising in their geographical area. Where they are unable to do this they can subcontract to other Providers. However, there are also circumstances whereby the Council may want to contract with another Provider. These include (but are not limited to): * Providers of care homes which are looking to de-register * Providers with Voids within existing accommodation based schemes * Providers who can bring housing solutions * Out of County placements * Providers who bring a highly specialist service offer The Council wishes to establish a Framework Agreement to sit alongside and support the core Provider contracts, allowing the Council to award a Contract to an alternative Provider. The Council may take the option of using this Framework Agreement for future Care, Support and Enablement services once the current core Provider contracts cease. A Multi Provider Framework Agreement will be established and will allow the Council to engage with suitably qualified Providers who will be able to deliver flexible, community based services which will empower Service Users to live independently in their own tenanted "Supported Living" accommodation, or offer Outreach support to people living on their own, or with family Carers; this may also include 1:1 support in day service settings. The majority of the care and support required through this Framework will be Regulated Activity, requiring the Provider to be appropriately registered with the Care Quality Commission. There may however be occasions where Non-Regulated Activities are required. These will be exceptions and Providers should assume they will be providing Regulated Activity unless advised otherwise. This Framework Agreement will be split into two distinct Lots: Lot one where the Provider will provide Care, Support and Enablement services to individuals living in their own homes which may or may not be existing Supported Living accommodation and Lot two where the Provider provides Care, Support and Enablement services to people in new tenancies for individuals in housing which is provided and managed by an independent third party but where the CSE Provider introduces and arranges access to the new tenancies. Providers may apply for both Lots where they are able to meet the specification requirements. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/63a76e2e-aa56-40c3-901a-bea6fc07cc5b | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 Mar 2017 | | Submission deadline | 2 May 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 May 2017 - 31 May 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,000,000 | | 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 | NOTTINGHAMSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | NOTTINGHAM | | Post town | Nottingham | | Postcode | NG2 7QP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF1 Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | | ITL 3 | TLF16 South Nottinghamshire | | Local authority | Rushcliffe | | Electoral ward | Trent Bridge | | Westminster constituency | Rushcliffe | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 27 Mar 2017 at 14:14 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/63a76e2e-aa56-40c3-901a-bea6fc07cc5b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/63a76e2e-aa56-40c3-901a-bea6fc07cc5b 27th March 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=829280ed-a910-e711-80dd-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
