This procurement process is classified under the health and social work services industry category. The tender is currently active, with the submission deadline set for 20 January 2022. The total estimated value of the services is £350 million. The contracting authority, Croydon Council, operates under an open procurement method within a light touch regime to facilitate a flexible approach for a range of service providers. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses focused on providing independent living services, particularly those experienced in supporting young people's accommodation needs. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-suited to apply, given the emphasis on flexibility and inclusion in the DPS model. Companies looking to grow their business in this sector can benefit from the collaborative access to health partners associated with the Croydon area, enhancing their visibility and establishing meaningful contracts over the next several years. ## Notice The London Borough of Croydon is seeking providers with relevant experience to tender to join a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to supply Independent Living Services. The Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) model provides flexibility both for the Council and providers as new suppliers can, having met the exclusion and selection criteria, join the DPS throughout its duration. The Council will allow access to the DPS to its health partners in Croydon including the Croydon One Alliance Croydon Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) Croydon Health Services (CHS) Croydon National Health Services (NHS Trust) South London and Maudsley Hospital (SLaM). The Council is procuring this DPS under the light touch regime and is adapting it to enable it to procure the services it requires. The DPS comprises the following Lots: Lot 1- Supported Living Services Lot 2 - Housing Related Support Lot 3 - Young People's Services Semi-Independent & Supported Accommodation. This opportunity is for the reopening of Lot 3 Young People's Services only. The Council reserves the right, subject to the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 to change without notice the basis of any part of the procurement process or to cancel the procurement at any time and not proceed with the award of any contract at any stage of the procurement process. The Council has identified that the proposed service provision falls within the scope of "social and other specific services" set out within Schedule 3 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (Regulations)). Consequently, the so-called Light Touch Regime will apply to this procurement. The Council is orientating this procurement towards an adapted restricted procedure as described in Regulation 28 of the Regulations but using a "light touch" approach. The Council does not hold itself bound by the Regulations except to the extent that they apply to the light touch regime as set out in Regulations 74 to 76 of the Regulations. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/caed33b6-3872-488c-a709-23b8a9ac5fdf | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Dynamic | | 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 | 17 Dec 2021 | | Submission deadline | 20 Jan 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2022 - 30 Sep 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £350,000,000 | | 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 | CROYDON COUNCIL | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Croydon | | Postcode | CR9 3JS | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI6 Outer London - South | | ITL 3 | TLI62 Croydon | | Local authority | Croydon | | Electoral ward | Fairfield | | Westminster constituency | Croydon West | | 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 - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 17 Dec 2021 at 15:27 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/caed33b6-3872-488c-a709-23b8a9ac5fdf ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/caed33b6-3872-488c-a709-23b8a9ac5fdf 17th December 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.croydon.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
