This process aims to provide quality accommodation and support for vulnerable young people, including Children in Care and those at risk of homelessness, within the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. The tender is currently in the active planning stage, with applications for Round Two closing at 10:00 am on 19 March 2020. The total estimated value of the contract is £26,400,000, with a minimum threshold of £1,600,000, and it is being pursued through an open procurement method. This opportunity is ideal for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those capable of offering accommodation and support mechanisms tailored for young people. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the procurement system allows for new providers to join throughout the contract duration. This flexibility can lead to competitive pricing and sustainable growth for businesses that can provide innovative solutions to meet the needs of the local authority and its vulnerable populations. ## Notice The procurement is to develop a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) that will ensure quality and safe provision for Children in Care, Care Leavers, Children in Need, and Homeless 16 & 17 year olds. Individual call offs from the DPS will support young people to develop independent living skills and assist toward step down and their own accommodation. The DPS will have providers with a range of accommodation and support packages who will bid for referrals put out by the Commissioning and Placements Team. The service is required to ensure that the local authority fulfils its duty towards Looked after Children and Children who are homeless by providing sufficient local accommodation and prevent the use of Bed and Breakfast provisions for 16 - 18 year olds. There is a statutory duty to provide this provision. If we do not have appropriate safe accommodation for our young people we will not be meeting the duty as a corporate parent and risk vulnerable young people being at risk of exploitation. This is a re-tender of an existing framework, however we now intend to procure services by way of a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), which will allow more flexibility and the potential for new Providers to join during the contract period. Each individual contract will be subject to a mini-competition process and with new providers able to join the DPS at any point, this should enable us to secure a price for services that is competitive and reflective of the market at that time. In exceptional circumstances direct awards may be undertaken dependant on the needs of the young person. Once live, there will be the option for Nottingham City Council Nottinghamshire County Council and Derbyshire County Council to use the DPS for Secondary Competitions and Direct Awards. Additional information: The deadline for applications for Round Two is 10.00am on 19/03/2020. It is recommended that you express interest and obtain the documentation well before this time to allow sufficient time to prepare and submit an application. Round Three will open at 10.01am 19/03/2020. Documents are available at www.eastmidstenders.org Please search for TD1527. Please note: we will only accept expressions of interest through the e-tendering system. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7af2ff76-800f-4d4d-b5cc-d406eb806b3e | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Dynamic | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Feb 2020 | | Submission deadline | 19 Mar 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2020 - 31 Mar 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £26,400,000 | | 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 | DERBY CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | DERBY | | Post town | Derby | | Postcode | DE1 2FS | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF1 Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | | ITL 3 | TLF11 Derby | | Local authority | Derby | | Electoral ward | Darley | | Westminster constituency | Derby South | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## 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 - 19 Feb 2020 at 10:10 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7af2ff76-800f-4d4d-b5cc-d406eb806b3e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7af2ff76-800f-4d4d-b5cc-d406eb806b3e 19th January 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
