This procurement process is categorised under health and social work services and is located in the Yorkshire and the Humber region of the United Kingdom. The tender period concludes on 5th March 2018, with the contract period set to commence on 1st September 2018, lasting for five years with the option for extension. The Council is offering a market value transfer of two dementia care facilities, which serve existing residents and will support transitional funding for the initial period. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses focused on delivering high-quality dementia care and nursing services, particularly in light of the identified shortage in the local market. Providers that can maintain existing operations at Claremont House and Castle Grange while ensuring the welfare of residents will be well-positioned to compete. Businesses specialising in residential care and those who can demonstrate a robust service delivery model that addresses local healthcare needs may find themselves at a competitive advantage in this bidding process. ## Notice Kirklees Council is undertaking a procurement exercise to transfer two dementia care residential facilities to the independent sector. Key features of the procurement are: * Freehold transfer of land for the market value of the property with covenant restrictions for 15 years; * Financial model supports transitional funding for initial 5 years; * Transfer of the businesses as going concerns through a Business Transfer Agreement; * Provision of dementia care residential services for the existing service users resident at the time of transfer, through a Care Services Agreement. This Procurement Exercise is for two lots; Lot 1 is Claremont House and Lot 2 is Castle Grange. The Contract will commence on 1st September 2018 for a period of 5 years with the option to extend for a further period, or for successive periods, up to 31st August 2025. The Council would like the existing residents to be able to remain at the Care Homes for the rest of their natural lives and on the same terms as under the Contract. Both homes currently each provides 30 residential places and 10 respite beds, however respite provision is not included in the services to be transferred. Therefore this tender offers the opportunity of at least 10 beds, per home, with which to operate any chosen service delivery model. The Council will endeavour to place residents in the Care Homes until the Contract Commencement Date so that the Care Homes transfer to the Successful Bidder with as many existing residents as possible. The Council expects that at the Contract Commencement Date there will be between 25 and 30 residents at each Care Home, although it cannot guarantee such numbers. The Council anticipates that it may change the specification for the Contract during its term. There are currently 59 members of staff working at Claremont House, and 53 at Castle Grange. All current staff are part time employees with the exception of managers and deputy managers at both homes who are all full time employees. TUPE will apply and employees will be eligible for either LGPS or a broadly comparable pension scheme. The LGPS admissions body will also require a bond. The Kirklees Joint Strategy for Residential and Nursing Care Homes for Older People highlights that there will always be a need for care home provision; and additionally the Council's Market Position Statement for Older People particularly highlights that there is a local shortage of high quality nursing home care for older people with dementia. The Council is particularly supportive of Bidders whose business models support the market shortage for both general nursing home care and nursing home care for people with dementia. There are a small number of marks available in the evaluation for Bidders who propose to provide nursing care from the Care Homes in future. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/776ab62f-5f76-402b-81af-573a8f05609d | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Negotiated procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Jan 2018 | | Submission deadline | 5 Mar 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Aug 2018 - 31 Aug 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £11,340,856 | | 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 | THE COUNCIL OF THE BOROUGH OF KIRKLEES | | Locality | HUDDERSFIELD | | Post town | Huddersfield | | Postcode | HD1 2TA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE44 Calderdale and Kirklees | | Local authority | Kirklees | | Electoral ward | Newsome | | Westminster constituency | Huddersfield | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 85144000 - Residential health facilities services - 85144100 - Residential nursing care services ## Release History - 29 Jan 2018 at 20:41 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/776ab62f-5f76-402b-81af-573a8f05609d ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/776ab62f-5f76-402b-81af-573a8f05609d 29th January 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.kirklees.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
