## Summary

The procurement process involves the Peterborough City Council (PCC) re-opening the Early Intervention and Prevention Pseudo Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), titled "Re-opening of the Early Intervention and Prevention Pseudo Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) – PRF 1061". This initiative falls under the health and social work services industry category and is intended for the geographical area of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. Currently in the tender stage, the process operates under the open procedure as outlined in the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, although PCC reserves the option to adjust formalities as needed. The tendering period is actively open, with submissions accepted electronically until December 13, 2021. The total value of the procurement is estimated at £21 million.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialised in health and social work services, particularly those experienced in Early Intervention and Prevention strategies. Companies adept in providing community support, information and advice, and hospital discharge services would be particularly well-suited to participate. Given the flexibility of the pseudo DPS format, organisations of various sizes, including SMEs, can engage in this procurement, thereby expanding their service reach within the public sector and potentially securing long-term contracts with the PCC and its partners.

## Notice

Peterborough City Council (PCC), is looking to award an "Pseudo Dynamic Purchasing System" which PCC, Cambridgeshire County Council (CCC) and Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) will be entitled to call off from. The Procurement is being run using a procedure similar to the open procedure described in Regulation 27 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended). However, the Authority reserves the right to deviate from the formalities of the open procedure given the flexibilities permitted by Regulation 76 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended) in the conduct of procurements for "Social and Other Specific Services", otherwise referred to as "Light Touch Regime" procurement. The Authority intends to re-open the multi supplier "pseudo DPS" (referred to as "DPS"). As the DPS Agreement will be "pseudo DPS", it will look and feel similar to a DPS agreement set up under Regulation 34 of the PCR. This means that the Authority envisages the DPS will re-open (6) six months after the DPS start date (May 2021) and then at (12) twelve month intervals (or at other intervals at the Authority's discretion) for new providers to apply or previously unsuccessful providers to re-apply subject to the terms and conditions of the Framework and evaluation process. Tenders are therefore invited from suitably experienced providers who can demonstrate knowledge and experience in the provision of Early Intervention and Prevention across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. The requirements will be split into Lots as detailed below Lot 1 Hospital Discharge and Admission Avoidance Lot 2 Information and Advice Lot 3 Community Support Lot 4 Day Opportunities (This Lot is unlikely to be activated immediately)
