This procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a contract period set to commence on 1st December 2016 and extend for an initial 30 months, potentially followed by two 12-month extensions. The estimated contract value is £400,000, and services will be delivered primarily in the North West of England, focusing on vulnerable populations, including older individuals and adults with disabilities. This tender presents a significant opportunity for care service providers, particularly those with experience in domiciliary care. Businesses equipped with electronic call monitoring systems may benefit from being classified as Tier 1 suppliers. Eligible candidates should have a reliable track record in delivering quality care services and should operate from locations either within St Helens or neighbouring local authorities. The competitive nature of the tender, which will involve mini-competitions among approved providers, will favour businesses that can demonstrate compliance with the Council's service specifications and quality standards. ## Notice St Helens Council is seeking to appoint accredited Organisations to an Approved List for the Provision of Domiciliary Care Services. Those placed on the Approved List will be awarded a contract for the Provision of Domiciliary Care. The Approved List will have two tiers of provider - Tier 1 - those who utilise an appropriate electronic call monitoring system Tier 2 - those without electronic call monitoring From 1st December 2016 the award of each new package of care will be subject to a mini competition which will only be open to providers on the Approved List and with a contract awarded by this process. In order to be placed on the Approved List and awarded a contract, bidders will need to demonstrate a proven track record in providing care services to vulnerable people in their own homes. They will be required to demonstrate at ITT stage that they are capable of meeting the service specification and quality standards required by the Council. Successful bidders will also be required to be utilising an appropriate system of electronic call monitoring to be considered Tier 1. Bidders are expected to operate the service from a base either within the borough of St Helens or from a base in a local authority that shares a geographic border with St Helens. The service is predominantly for older people, but will also be for any adult with a physical or learning disability, those with dementia and on occasion those at end of life. The service will operate between the hours of 7.00am and 11.00pm, 365 days a year. Payment will be for the actual time delivered. Contracts will run for an initial 30 month period from 1 December 2016, subject to an annual review, with an option of two 12-month extension periods. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c8f28a13-7190-4bee-b51b-f4c10fde29c8 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Nov 2016 | | Submission deadline | 9 Sep 2016 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 9 Nov 2016 - 9 May 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £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 | ST.HELENS COUNCIL | | Locality | ST.HELENS | | Post town | Warrington | | Postcode | WA10 1HF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD7 Merseyside | | ITL 3 | TLD71 East Merseyside | | Local authority | St. Helens | | Electoral ward | St Helens Town Centre | | Westminster constituency | St Helens South and Whiston | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 18 Nov 2016 at 20:17 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c8f28a13-7190-4bee-b51b-f4c10fde29c8 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c8f28a13-7190-4bee-b51b-f4c10fde29c8 2nd August 2016 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.sthelens.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
