This procurement falls under the Light Touch Regime for Social and Other Specific Services. The contract duration is initially set for 3.5 years, with a possible extension up to a total of 5.5 years. The tender deadline is on February 27, 2023. This tender opportunity for Day Opportunities Services creates a chance for businesses to provide social and health services in Leicester and the NHS region. Small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises, are well-suited to compete in this open procedure tender. The potential framework agreements offer opportunities for service providers to deliver a range of activities to support individuals' social care and health needs. ## Notice Leicester City Council ('the 'Authority') invites Tenders for the provision of Day Opportunities Services. Leicester City Council is leading the procurement on behalf of Leicester City Council and the NHS Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Integrated Care Board (LLR ICB). Day Opportunities Services support and enable people to access and participate in a variety of activities and opportunities, during the daytime, that help them to meet their social care and/or health needs. It is the intention of the Authority to award Framework Agreements for each Lot. There is no maximum number of providers to be awarded a Framework Agreement for each Lot. Tenderers should note that Lots 1 to 4 services are commissioned for the Authority only. Lot 5 services are being commissioned for both the Authority and the LLR ICB. The Framework Agreements are Open Framework Agreements. Throughout the duration of the Framework Agreement, the Authority may review the Framework Agreement and may open it to the market for new appointments to it at its own discretion when a service need arises. Opening the Framework will allow the opportunity for any potential Providers who are not currently appointed to the Framework Agreement to submit a Tender to the Authority, to be appointed for the remainder of the term of the Framework Agreement if successful. Existing Providers may if they so wish, apply for the Tender opportunity for a Lot they previously did not Tender for or were unsuccessful for. As a service need has arisen, the Authority is opening the Day Opportunities Services Framework to the market for new appointments via this Tender opportunity. The Authority is conducting this procurement under the Light Touch Regime for Social and Other Specific Services, as set out in the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (PCR), at Section 7 (Regulations 74 to 77) and Schedule 3. The procurement process will not be conducted under the Public Contract Regulations 2015; however, it will be similar to that of an Open procedure. The Process will be as detailed in this Invitation to Tender documentation. It is the Authority's preliminary view that TUPE may apply in respect of this Contract. The proposed Contract will be for an initial period of 3.5 years to commence on 1st October 2023, with an option to extend, subject to satisfactory performance outcomes and agreement by the Authority, for a further period or periods up to a total of 2 years, taking the contract term to a maximum of 5.5 years. The Invitation to Tender document and its appendices and all other documentation issued to Tenderers sets out the details of the Authority's requirements and how to submit your Tender. The Authority will hold an Online Tender Information Session conducted via Microsoft Teams on 9th February 2023 between 10:30 am to 12.30 pm. Further information on how to register for this session is contained within the ITT documentation. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d32fd252-4503-4061-ae28-a13e47a11f69 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | 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 | 25 Jan 2023 | | Submission deadline | 27 Feb 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Sep 2023 - 31 Mar 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £33,330,000 | | 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 | LEICESTER CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | LEICESTER | | Post town | Leicester | | Postcode | LE1 1FZ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF21 Leicester | | Local authority | Leicester | | Electoral ward | Castle | | Westminster constituency | Leicester South | | 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 - 25 Jan 2023 at 15:40 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d32fd252-4503-4061-ae28-a13e47a11f69 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d32fd252-4503-4061-ae28-a13e47a11f69 25th January 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=9e32c6f6-8d9c-ed11-811e-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.leicester.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
