This opportunity falls under the residential health facilities services category and is part of a joint contract for Care Home services that will commence on 1 April 2020 and run until 31 March 2023. The tender period concludes on 21 February 2020, with the process following an open procurement method, ensuring compliance with Public Contract Regulations (2015). This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the care services sector, particularly those that operate care homes with or without nursing facilities. It is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) looking to expand their service offerings in residential and nursing care. By participating in this procurement process, providers can secure a position within a critical care framework that supports health and social care needs across Cornwall, thus paving the way for sustainable business growth. ## Notice NHS Kernow and the Council are pleased to invite care home providers to join the new joint contract for Care Home services from April 2020. As statutory commissioning authorities we are required under the Public Contract Regulations (2015) to ensure we use a compliant process for purchasing services. In order to balance this with our duties under the Patient Choice Regulations (2013) and the Care Act (2014), we have developed a bespoke process for care home services in Cornwall. This is intended to ensure a clear and straightforward process that will not preclude registered providers from joining the new contractual arrangements. The aim of Care Home services is to ensure people have access to good quality care, support and accommodation that can enable them to meet their health and social care needs and outcomes twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a year. Services that are within the scope of the onboarding application process include Care Homes with or without nursing for a person who is eligible in accordance with: a) The Care Act 2014 b) The eligibility criteria for NHS Funded Nursing Care or Continuing Healthcare c) Other joint funding responsibilities of the Commissioners. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4e1a9594-654a-44e1-8958-321f790b0333 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Jan 2020 | | Submission deadline | 21 Feb 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2020 - 31 Mar 2023 | | 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 | NHS KERNOW CLINICAL COMMISSIONING GROUP | | Locality | ST AUSTELL | | Post town | Plymouth | | Postcode | PL25 5AS | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK3 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | ITL 3 | TLK30 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | Local authority | Cornwall | | Electoral ward | St Austell Central & Gover | | Westminster constituency | St Austell and Newquay | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85144000 - Residential health facilities services - 85144100 - Residential nursing care services - 85311000 - Social work services with accommodation - 85311100 - Welfare services for the elderly - 85311200 - Welfare services for the handicapped ## Release History - 22 Jan 2020 at 08:31 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4e1a9594-654a-44e1-8958-321f790b0333 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4e1a9594-654a-44e1-8958-321f790b0333 22nd January 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/login.asp?B=NHSSW Additional information ## Notice URLs - https://www.kernowccg.nhs.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
