This open procurement process is in the tender stage, with submissions due by 4th June 2019. The framework contract, valued at £180 million, is expected to span three years starting from 5th June 2019, with an optional extension of 24 months. The framework replaces the existing Dynamic Purchasing System and is designed to cover the remaining 20-30% of home care services not managed by current lead providers. This procurement opportunity presents significant potential for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in health and social work services. Businesses that can offer personalised and compassionate care services, and those with the capability to collaborate with Lead Providers, will be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging in this framework allows providers to contribute to the delivery of vital home care services while also expanding their networks and market reach in the public sector. ## Notice Northamptonshire County Council (the "Authority") wishes to invite Tenders for the supply of Tier 2 Home Care Services. The successful Provider(s) will be responsible for providing support to the Lead Providers and liaising closely with the Contract Manager identified by the Authority. The Authority is procuring a framework with the intention of selecting suppliers across fifteen (15) Home Care Services Lots. The framework is for three years with an option to extend for 24 months. Northamptonshire currently have contracts with Lead Providers in the 15 Geographical Zones. The lead providers aim to cover 70-80% of the available volume of home care in each Operational Zone. This framework is for a list of approved providers to cover the remaining 20-30% of volume in each of the geographical zones and will replace the existing Dynamic Purchasing System(DPS) which is due to expire in 2019. If during the life of the framework a Provider becomes unable to fulfil their contractual requirements under the awarded Lot or Operational Zone, the Authority will at its discretion reopen the framework to source a new provider. In general terms and for the purposes of this Tender, 'Home Care Services' should be taken to mean treating a Service User with dignity, compassion and respect, focusing on their health and well-being. Offering a personalised co-ordinated method of care, support or treatment, and supporting the Service User to recognise and develop their own strengths and abilities to enable them to live a fulfilling life (this definition should not be considered as exhaustive). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/64c642d6-b522-4c3c-9c81-6dabee044fae | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Dynamic | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 May 2019 | | Submission deadline | 4 Jun 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 4 Jun 2019 - 31 Mar 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £180,000,000 | | 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 | NORTHAMPTONSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | NORTHAMPTON | | Post town | Northampton | | Postcode | NN1 1ED | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF24 West Northamptonshire | | Local authority | West Northamptonshire | | Electoral ward | Castle | | Westminster constituency | Northampton North | | 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 - 8 May 2019 at 15:48 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/64c642d6-b522-4c3c-9c81-6dabee044fae - 2 May 2019 at 16:32 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/64c642d6-b522-4c3c-9c81-6dabee044fae ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/64c642d6-b522-4c3c-9c81-6dabee044fae 8th May 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=5ad8c1ef-a5b6-e811-80ed-005056b64545 ProContract Link - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=4baab18e-0d6c-e911-80f7-005056b64545 Link to ProContract Advertisement ## Notice URLs - https://www.lgss.co.uk/about/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
