This procurement, classified under health and social work services, has a total value of £134,000 and falls under an open procedure method. The submission deadline for tenders is set for 16th April 2018, with the contract scheduled to commence from 1st May 2018 and conclude on 1st October 2019. The services will be delivered primarily within the United Kingdom but may extend to British Overseas Territories and other regions. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the social care and health sector, particularly those seeking to enhance their market presence and capacity.

Engaging in this contract can not only help businesses expand their services but also position them as key players in enhancing community well-being. ## Notice Lead, coordinate and deliver a Partners in Care model in Cheshire West and Chester over the 18 month period. The project will consist of social care and health providers representatives working to develop Partners in Care- a membership organisation. Regular communication with Commissioners and other key personnel from the Council is required. The project lead will ensure that the Partners in Care (PIC) will have a sound infrastructure over the next 18 month period, with a strong membership base. To ensure that, at the end of the 18 month period of the project, the PIC will be tested and reviewed to ensure it is in a strong position to offer advice, support; deliver workforce development and training; actively participate in market shaping and market development and generate income from other sources. The service will facilitate the development of overall market capacity through building the asset base of the sector. A key focus must be on enhancing the quality of the services for the benefit of people using them. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c24892f1-3c6f-4485-a02f-81e3fcf0ce27 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | 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 | 23 Mar 2018 | | Submission deadline | 16 Apr 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Apr 2018 - 1 Oct 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £134,000 | | 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 | CHESHIRE WEST AND CHESTER | | Locality | CHESTER | | Post town | Chester | | Postcode | CH1 2NP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD6 Cheshire | | ITL 3 | TLD63 Cheshire West and Chester | | Local authority | Cheshire West and Chester | | Electoral ward | Chester City & the Garden Quarter | | Westminster constituency | Chester North and Neston | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 23 Mar 2018 at 08:36 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c24892f1-3c6f-4485-a02f-81e3fcf0ce27 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c24892f1-3c6f-4485-a02f-81e3fcf0ce27 23rd March 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=a3f87832-e22d-e811-80eb-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.cheshirewestandchester.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
