This procurement falls under the health and social work services category, with the contract period running from 8th April 2020 to 31st March 2021. The current stage of the process is open, with submissions due by 10am on 6th April 2020. The procurement method is classified as an open procedure, conducted urgently due to the circumstances dictated by the pandemic. This tender presents a timely opportunity for businesses specialising in home support and health services to engage in public procurement. Given the urgent need for additional service capacity to support vulnerable individuals, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with experience in health and social care services would be particularly well-suited to compete. As this contract will bolster existing provisions, successful bidders can establish valuable relationships with local authorities, ultimately enhancing their business profile and growth potential in the sector. ## Notice The Commissioner (Coventry City Council and Coventry and Rugby Clinical Commissioning Group (CRCCG)) is looking to establish a Framework for emergency cover for short term home support services for adults across the City. The Service will bolster existing contracted provision, which is already in place with 3 contracted Providers. This requirement is as a direct result of COVID-19, where it has been identified that additional capacity will be needed to ensure services can be delivered to vulnerable service users. The service is primarily to support hospital discharge. The COVID-19 outbreak has given rise to an urgent need for the specified service. This does not give the Council sufficient time to comply with the usual timescales for this procurement. The Council considers this to be a state of urgency which it has duly substantiated. Accordingly, accelerated time limits, as permitted under the Public Contract Regulations 2015, and as permissible under the Light Touch Regime, are used in respect of this procurement. Therefore, Tender return timescales are - Monday 6th April 2020 - Time: 10am Additional information: Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/acded0a2-5591-4d63-9460-4a3f78a6fe30 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 30 Mar 2020 | | Submission deadline | 6 Apr 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 7 Apr 2020 - 31 Mar 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | 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 | COVENTRY - SOLIHULL - WARWICKSHIRE | | Locality | COVENTRY | | Post town | Coventry | | Postcode | CV1 2GN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG33 Coventry | | Local authority | Coventry | | Electoral ward | St Michael's | | Westminster constituency | Coventry South | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 30 Mar 2020 at 15:00 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/acded0a2-5591-4d63-9460-4a3f78a6fe30 - 30 Mar 2020 at 15:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/acded0a2-5591-4d63-9460-4a3f78a6fe30 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/acded0a2-5591-4d63-9460-4a3f78a6fe30 30th March 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/csw-jets/aspx/ Additional information on how to apply for this contract ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
