## Summary

The Cambridgeshire County Council is seeking providers for home and community support services as part of a tender initiative estimated at £300 million. This procurement targets residents of Cambridgeshire with eligible social care needs, as well as those registered with a Cambridgeshire GP in nearby Royston, Hertfordshire. Currently, the process is complete, having ended on 31 July 2020, with the contract extending from 1 August 2020 to 31 October 2027. This tender utilised an open procurement method, establishing a pseudo-Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) under the Light Touch provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Key contact information for procurement queries can be directed to the LGSS Procurement team at contracts@milton-keynes.gov.uk.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) operating in the health and social care sector. Businesses that specialise in home care, community support, and related health services are particularly well-suited to compete in this contracting market. The pseudo-DPS structure allows new providers to join at regular intervals, thereby increasing competition and diversifying service offerings to meet the needs of the growing population relying on social care in the region.

## Notice

Cambridgeshire County Council and Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) are tendered for home care and community support services for: - All residents of Cambridgeshire who are identified as having eligible social care needs, and; - All residents of Cambridgeshire and Royston in Hertfordshire where individuals are registered with a Cambridgeshire GP, and are eligible for NHS fully funded Continuing Health Care (CHC) and Joint Funded Health Care from Cambridgeshire and Peterborough CCG. The Commissioners have set up a 'pseudo-Dynamic Purchasing System' (DPS) under the 'Light Touch' provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This means that all Potential Providers that meet the minimum requirements of this ITT will be accepted on to the DPS. The DPS will then re-open every three months (or at other intervals at the Commissioners' discretion) for new providers to apply or previously unsuccessful providers to re-apply. The Commissioners will call off the DPS in accordance with the procedures set out in the ITT and Contract documentation.
