## Summary

The University of Bedfordshire is seeking to establish a framework agreement titled "Provide Non DSA Funded NMH support for disabled students," aimed at sourcing non-medical helper support services. Located in Luton, England, this procurement falls under the health and safety services category. The procurement process is currently in the award stage with a contract period set to commence from 1st August 2019 and conclude on 28th February 2021. Interested suppliers must have previously registered and expressed interest through the University's procurement portal by 21st January 2018 to be considered against the framework agreement, though no guarantees of work have been provided. 

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in support services for disabled individuals, particularly those that can offer reliable non-medical assistance. Organisations that are agile and can readily provide qualified staff will find this framework particularly appealing, as the University will evaluate suppliers based on value for money and availability. With a limited number of suppliers set to be included in this framework, companies that can demonstrate high-quality service and responsiveness will be well-positioned to secure contracts for providing vital support.

## Notice

The University is looking for a maximum of five suppliers for this framework agreement for the provision of non-DSA funded non-medical helper support. The top five scoring suppliers will be added to the framework. The University Health and Wellbeing Team will send out purchase orders to the successful suppliers on a case by case basis. The supplier that can meet the provision at the best value for money and availability of staff will receive a purchase order. Suppliers on this framework will not be guaranteed work but will be given the opportunity to quote for work. The University reserves the right not to award the work to the framework suppliers. Additional information: You need to register and express an interest in the tender through the University's Procurement portal https://in-tendhost.co.uk/universityofbedfordshire/.
