The procurement, classified under the "Health and social work services" category, will be conducted through a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). Interested parties are encouraged to participate in the market engagement event, with the engagement end date set for 7 December 2018. This initiative aims to increase local service options for children, young people, and adults, particularly addressing the needs of those with complex requirements. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social care services, particularly those capable of providing tailored support for individuals with disabilities. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are especially well-suited to participate, given the emphasis on local service provision in Islington or nearby to minimise transportation costs. By engaging with Islington Council, interested businesses can expand their service offerings and enhance their presence within the local community. ## Notice Islington Council is seeking to procure all-age home and community support services and day opportunities for people with disabilities. Our vision is to increase the range of local options available to children, young people and adults when they are choosing a support service or day opportunity. We also want to develop an offer that spans children's and adult services; facilitating consistency during transition points in peoples' lives. We recognise gaps in local provision in relation to managing the most complex needs and challenging behaviours, as well as for some types of specialist support e.g. high-functioning autism. To clarify our definition of local day opportunities: providers will be expected to have activity bases in Islington or within a suitable distance to minimise transport time and cost. The service will be procured via a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). This involves creating an initial framework of providers, which can be added to during the lifetime of the DPS. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f8cfe048-303f-4bad-91af-f4aaddec30b1 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Dynamic | | 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 | 26 Nov 2018 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 7 Dec 2018 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | 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 | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ISLINGTON COUNCIL | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | North London | | Postcode | N1 1XR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI43 Haringey and Islington | | Local authority | Islington | | Electoral ward | Laycock | | Westminster constituency | Islington South and Finsbury | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 26 Nov 2018 at 16:10 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f8cfe048-303f-4bad-91af-f4aaddec30b1 - 26 Nov 2018 at 16:09 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f8cfe048-303f-4bad-91af-f4aaddec30b1 - 26 Nov 2018 at 16:06 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f8cfe048-303f-4bad-91af-f4aaddec30b1 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f8cfe048-303f-4bad-91af-f4aaddec30b1 26th November 2018 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/45ffdaba-fcef-4ed3-b050-20d1c125da04 Market Engagement Event Invite ## Notice URLs - http://www.islington.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
