## Summary

The Plymouth Supported Living Framework 2020, initiated by Plymouth City Council and NHS Devon Clinical Commissioning Group, focuses on providing health and social work services. The procurement process is currently at the Award stage, with the contract signed on 21 December 2020. This framework agreement is structured to allow for active suppliers to join every three years and supports approximately 19,000 to 20,000 hours of community services weekly. Key details include the geographical location in Plymouth, UKK41, and the open procurement method employed for this multi-supplier framework set to commence with new providers in February 2021.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the health and social care sector, especially those providing supported living services. Companies that excel in personal care, financial support, and community well-being services are particularly well-suited to compete. With an emphasis on quality and performance in the procurement criteria, suppliers within the small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) category, along with established larger firms, may find appealing prospects in this framework, which aims to enhance service delivery within the community over an extended period.

## Notice

A multi-supplier Supported Living Framework Agreement with Plymouth City Council (PCC) and NHS Devon Clinical Commissioning Group (DCCG) was let in July 2017 as 4 increments of 3 yrs. The Framework provides a range of community services including support to maintain health and wellbeing, personal care, support with finances, social recreation, tenancy related support, underpinned with the principles of self-determination and choice. DCCG as Contracting Body accesses the Framework Agreement independently of PCC and enters into direct contractual relationships with the successful suppliers following a call-off. The form of agreement used for the call-off contract is the NHS Shorter Form Contract for services. As intended and stated in the procurement documents at the time, PCC on behalf of itself as principal and DCCG (as Contracting Body) has now conducted a procurement exercise and the successful new providers will join the Plymouth Supported Living Framework in February 2021. NB. The completion of this procurement exercise and the contract start day has been delayed due to staff resources being diverted due to unforeseen pressure resulting from the COVID19 pandemic.
