The procurement process, currently at the tender stage, aims to secure services from businesses registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) for 'personal care'.

The tender period ends on 16th September 2024, with services set to commence on 20th January 2025 and conclude on 19th January 2030. This tender offers significant business growth opportunities for service providers specialising in social care, particularly those experienced in delivering flexible, responsive care in residential settings.

The FPS includes provisions for ongoing innovation and future developments within Extra Care schemes, making it ideal for businesses with a focus on technological care solutions. With four call-offs from Lot 1 covering multiple Extra Care schemes, there are ample opportunities for businesses to secure a foothold and expand their operations within Devon's social care sector. ## Notice Devon County Council (DCC) is seeking to establish a Flexible Purchasing System (FPS) for Care and Support Services within Extra Care schemes in Devon. All bidders must be registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) for regulatory activity of 'personal care', to provide care and support services to adults living within Extra Care Housing (ECH) schemes. In DCC the term 'extra care' housing is used to describe housing developments that comprise self-contained homes with design features and support services to enable people to self-care and continue to live independently. Whilst they are primarily for older people some may support younger people with disabilities. Services are required to: * Respond quickly to residents changing needs * Provide unplanned care as and when required in addition to planned care * Provide an emergency response. The overarching goal of ECH is to provide a supportive and secure living environment that allows a dynamic community of individuals with a range of needs to age in place and maintain their quality of life. As such services must be flexible; empowering; enabling; maximise the use and benefits of technology enabled care (TECS) to promote peoples' independence. The FPS comprises two Lots: 1. Care and Support services - to provide both 1:1 and onsite care and support services 2. Innovation and Future ways of working - to allow for future developments within Extra Care schemes. Within this FPS tender opportunity there are four call-offs from Lot 1 for Care and Support services within four separate Extra Care Schemes. Additional bidding opportunities are anticipated throughout the lifetime of the FPS. Care and Support Services will be comprised of: * Core provision to ensure care and support cover 24-hours a day including social inclusion and response to unplanned care needs * The provision of one-to-one care and support that a significant number of people living in Extra Care Housing require and which has been assessed as being eligible within Adult Social Care Fair Access to Care Assessment. The Service Provider(s) will be required to staff an onsite and exclusive team at each of the schemes, must occupy an onsite office space and be registered as a specific location with the CQC. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f90631e5-d786-4ab7-9dbf-1d4b4a261ea6 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 30 Jul 2024 | | Submission deadline | 16 Sep 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 20 Jan 2025 - 19 Jan 2030 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £4,000,000 | | 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 | DEVON COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | EXETER | | Post town | Exeter | | Postcode | EX2 4QD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK4 Devon | | ITL 3 | TLK43 Devon CC | | Local authority | Exeter | | Electoral ward | Newtown and St Leonard's | | Westminster constituency | Exeter | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85311000 - Social work services with accommodation - 85311100 - Welfare services for the elderly - 85311200 - Welfare services for the handicapped - 85323000 - Community health services ## Release History - 30 Jul 2024 at 11:51 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f90631e5-d786-4ab7-9dbf-1d4b4a261ea6 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f90631e5-d786-4ab7-9dbf-1d4b4a261ea6 30th July 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.devon.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
