The procurement is currently in the Tender stage, with submissions accepted until 17th February 2020. This framework agreement is designed for new providers to join and will subsequently offer services for a period of up to nine years, structured in three-year increments starting from 13th July 2020, covering the South West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, allowing wide participation in this competitive tendering process. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) interested in providing support services related to health and wellbeing, personal care, social recreation, and tenancy-related assistance. Businesses that can deliver quality community services aligning with the principles of self-determination and choice will find this procurement aligned with their goals. As the framework facilitates access for new suppliers every three years, companies have a chance to establish long-term client relationships and contribute positively to the local community's health and social needs. ## Notice A multi-supplier Supported Living Framework Agreement with Plymouth City Council (PCC) and NHS Devon Clinical Commissioning Group (Devon CCG) was let in July 2017 as 4 increments of 3 yrs. The Framework provides a range of community services including support to maintain health and wellbeing, personal care, support with finances, social recreation, tenancy related support, underpinned with the principles of self-determination and choice. Devon CCG as Contracting Body accesses the Framework Agreement independently of PCC and enters into direct contractual relationships with the successful suppliers following a call-off. The form of agreement used for the call-off contract is the NHS Shorter Form Contract for services. As intended and stated in the procurement documents at the time, PCC on behalf of itself as principal and Devon CCG (as Contracting Body) is now conducting a procurement exercise to give new providers the opportunity to join the Plymouth Supported Living Framework in July 2020. This multi-supplier Framework Agreement currently provides supported living for approx. 19,000 to 20,000 hours per week for a range of community support services including support to maintain health and wellbeing, personal care, support with finances, social recreation, tenancy related support, underpinned with the principles of self-determination and choice. This figure includes individual support hours and sleep-in/waking nights and shared support hours and sleep-in/waking nights. The procurement will be a one-stage process that will include both Selection and Award criteria. Tenders will be evaluated in accordance with Section 4 of the ITT Instruction Document. The Framework Agreement will be awarded in 3 yearly increments for a period of up to 9 years (i.e. 3yrs+3yrs+3yrs). Prices will be refreshed and new suppliers will have the opportunity to join the Framework Agreement every 3 years.
