This initiative aims to develop a new procurement model for home care services within Buckinghamshire, situated in the United Kingdom. The engagement end date for this process is set for 16 June 2022. The procurement will explore the creation of a Dynamic Purchasing Vehicle (DPV) to streamline the commissioning of home care packages across the county, which will subsequently require all current providers to apply for inclusion in the DPV. This procurement opportunity presents significant prospects for businesses, especially those engaged in health and social work services. Companies that can demonstrate their ability to meet quality and price thresholds may be well-suited to join the DPV. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary and community sector organisations (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as their contributions could help shape a framework that will become vital for future home care service deliveries in the region. ## Notice PLEASE NOTE - THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION NOT A TENDER Buckinghamshire is looking to develop a new procurement model for the commissioning of home care across the county. The Council is looking to develop a Dynamic Purchasing Vehicle (DPV) - a hybrid between a dynamic purchasing system and a framework. Suppliers will bid to join the DPV and, if successful in meeting the required quality/price thresholds, will be accepted onto the DPV. Individual packages of care will then be sourced through mini competitions. It is intended that the DPV will become the primary way of accessing council commissioned home care packages going forward. The DPV will be utilised for all new packages of care from the go live date. Any providers that the Council currently works with will need to apply to join the DPV in order to be able to bid for future packages of care. We welcome your input to ensure it is fit for purpose. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c5cbddb5-7057-4260-a0b8-c58edcc00358 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Dynamic | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 May 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 16 Jun 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BUCKINGHAMSHIRE COUNCIL | | Locality | AYLESBURY | | Post town | Hemel Hempstead | | Postcode | HP20 1UA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ13 Buckinghamshire | | Local authority | Buckinghamshire | | Electoral ward | Aylesbury North | | Westminster constituency | Aylesbury | | 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 - 27 May 2022 at 10:29 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c5cbddb5-7057-4260-a0b8-c58edcc00358 - 17 May 2022 at 08:54 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/95b3e055-b2c2-4718-8b6b-448459c1da3b - 27 Apr 2022 at 09:11 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/78397133-afbe-4683-bd5c-d1d4cbed4be9 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c5cbddb5-7057-4260-a0b8-c58edcc00358 27th May 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/95b3e055-b2c2-4718-8b6b-448459c1da3b 17th May 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/78397133-afbe-4683-bd5c-d1d4cbed4be9 27th April 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=f3d29968-08c6-ec11-8113-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - https://www.buckinghamshire.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
