Applications were accepted from social enterprise organisations, with a submission deadline of 25 October 2024, and the award was made active on 2 December 2024. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses operating as social enterprises within the health and social care sector. Suitable bidders included those capable of gathering and representing public views on health and social care services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations were particularly encouraged to apply, given the project's focus on community engagement and impact. By securing this contract, such businesses can enhance their reputation, contribute to local community health outcomes, and expand their portfolio of public sector contracts. ## Notice Nottingham City Council and Nottinghamshire County Council (the Authorities) are seeking tenders from sufficiently experienced and qualified organisations, for the provision of a Healthwatch service. The Authorities are jointly re-commissioning a Healthwatch Nottingham and Nottinghamshire service to deliver its statutory duties under the Health and Social Care Act 2012. Legislation states that it must be a social enterprise organisation who delivers the Healthwatch function and therefore we are only able to accept bids from organisations who have this status. Healthwatch Nottingham and Nottinghamshire will scrutinise health and social care services within Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire County. As an independent health and social care champion they will listen to the issues that really matter to local communities, gathering and representing the views of those who use health and social care services, particularly those whose voice is not listened to. They will use this information to make recommendations to decision makers at the City and County Council's and the ICB to make change happen and improve standards of health and social care. The contract duration will be for 3 years with a possible extension of 3 years at both Authorities' discretion. The contract value is estimated to be a maximum of PS306,000 per annum, with the total contract value over the approved 3-year term being PS918,000. The total potential contract value over the full term, including the discretionary extension period, is PS1,836,000, which is subject to further internal approvals being obtained. The anticipated contract start date will be 1 April 2025. This contract will be let under the Light Touch Regime of the Public Contract Regulations 2015. Application documents can be downloaded from www.eastmidstenders.org The closing date for receipt of completed Application Forms is 12 noon, 25 October 2024. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d604836e-798a-4267-888e-37e122d9fa2c | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Apr 2025 | | Submission deadline | 25 Oct 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 2 Dec 2024 | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2025 - 31 Mar 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,836,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £1,836,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NOTTINGHAM CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | NOTTINGHAM | | Post town | Nottingham | | Postcode | NG2 3NG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF1 Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | | ITL 3 | TLF14 Nottingham | | Local authority | Nottingham | | Electoral ward | Castle | | Westminster constituency | Nottingham East | | 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) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | HEALTHWATCH NOTTINGHAM AND NOTTINGHAMSHIRE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 3 Apr 2025 at 11:02 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d604836e-798a-4267-888e-37e122d9fa2c ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d604836e-798a-4267-888e-37e122d9fa2c 3rd April 2025 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=1112ede8-b675-ef11-812f-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.nottinghamcity.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
