The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with a submission deadline set for 9 am on 5th February 2021. The framework will serve residents of Derby City who require domiciliary care, with a total expected value of approximately £62,706,904.62 over four years. The framework is divided into four geographical lots, with providers allowed to apply for multiple lots but capped at a maximum of two awards per provider. This project aims to deliver personalised support plans to individuals with various care needs, including physical and sensory disabilities, mental health issues, and more. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in home care services, particularly those with existing Care Quality Commission (CQC) registration and a rating above 'Inadequate'. Companies providing tailored home care solutions or with experience in supporting complex needs will find this framework particularly suitable. Providers are encouraged to showcase their capabilities in developing personalised support plans and must adhere to a specified fee structure while meeting the geographical requirements set by the Council. This tender not only opens avenues for new service requirements but also allows for the potential reassessment of existing care packages, thereby creating additional opportunities for service provision within Derby. ## Notice The Council is requesting bids for Service Providers to be awarded a place on a framework to provide Standard Home Care (domiciliary care) Services. Customers of Home Care Services will: * Be residents of Derby City * Be over the age of 18 years * Have eligible care or support needs as defined by the Council * Require Home Care as defined above Customers may have complex and multiple support needs. Service Providers will need to develop personalised Support Plans that identify clear and quantifiable ways that they will support Customers to achieve their individual outcomes and remain independent in their own home. Customers that will require this Service will have a wide range of needs that may include one or a combination of the following broad headings (please note this list is not exhaustive): * Physical disability or frailty, * Learning disability * Mental Health * Sensory Disabilities and/or Communication needs * Dementia or other cognitive difficulties Tenderers must have Care Quality Commission (CQC) registration in place for the delivery of personal care. The Service Provider will also be required to be registered with the CQC to be able to deliver personal care in the City of Derby. Successful Service Providers not already registered to do this, will be required to apply to be registered to do this within a month of receiving the framework award letter. Tenderers must have Care Quality Commission rating above 'Inadequate' in place for the delivery of personal care to be able to bid. Where a Tenderer is waiting for a rating from the CQC for the delivery of personal care from the CQC, they can still submit a bid. If subsequently the rating is 'Inadequate', then the service Provider will be required to provide 22/12/2020 S249 https://ted.europa.eu/TED 2 / 15 OJ/S S249 22/12/2020 622758-2020-EN 3 / 15 an action plan that is satisfactory to the Council that will address all the concerns raised by the CQC within a timescale agreed with the Council. Value The potential framework value is PS62,706,904.62 over four years. Contract Opportunities will only initially be for new Service requirements (care packages). The Council also reserves the right to review existing care packages and put these out as a Contract Opportunity under this Framework. Framework Lots The framework is split into four geographical Lots. The Council intends to appoint the following number of Service Providers in each of the following Lots: Lot 1 - Central Locality = Three Service Providers Lot 2 - West Locality = Four Service Providers Lot 3 - East Locality = Three Service Providers Lot 4 - South Locality = Three Service Providers A Tenderer MUST state what Lots it is bidding for and their Lot preference. A Tenderer can bid for all four Lots or any number of Lots. A Tenderer can only be awarded a maximum of two Lots. The process for deciding how Lots are allocated to successful Tenderers is described further in the ITT document. Framework Operation The Council reserves the right to open a Lot or Lots and run a open competitive tendering process to replace existing Framework Service Provider due to failure/poor performance/material breaches etc. There will also be the option of opening up a Lot or Lots to add an additional Service Provider where there are capacity issues within that Lot. Further to the points above there will still be the rule that a Service Provider can only be awarded two Lots, so if a provider on this Framework already has two Lots, they will not be able to bid for an additional Lot. The initial Framework Term is two years. The maximum framework term is four years. Fees The Council has a set a maximum hourly rate for the provision of Home Care services as part of its Fee structure. Tenderers must confirm that they accept this Fee structure as part of their Tender response. Details are in the ITT. Framework start date is 1st June 2021. (initial term is 2 years plus possible extension of a further two years). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/000447-2021 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Jan 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | 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 | Not specified | | 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 | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 11 Jan 2021 at 10:14 - TenderUpdate - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/000447-2021 ## Notice URLs - http://www.derby.gov.uk/ - https://ted.europa.eu/TED - https://ted.europa.eu/udl?uri=TED:NOTICE:622758-2020:TEXT:EN:HTML ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
