## Summary

The Wakefield Council is seeking to establish a Pseudo Dynamic Purchasing System (PDPS) for individual service funds within the health and social work services category. The PDPS will be operational from 1 August 2023 to 31 July 2026, with a possible extension up to 31 July 2028. Interested providers can access the application forms through YORtender. The procurement process will have multiple stages, including applications assessment every 6 weeks once the PDPS is live.

This tender opportunity by the Wakefield Council offers a chance for qualified providers to deliver services to individuals with ISF's. Businesses in the health and social work services sector would be well-suited to compete in this process. The PDPS aims to provide flexibility and support for service users, following a modified Dynamic Purchasing System process for fairness and transparency. The Council will assess applications on an ongoing basis and offer opportunities for service contracts based on individual needs and outcomes.

## Notice

The Council is looking to develop a Pseudo Dynamic Purchasing System (Pseudo DPS) of qualified providers who are able to deliver services to people with ISF's. Applicants who meet and pass the Application criteria will be admitted to the Pseudo DPS. Please note that this is not a competitive process and there is no limit to the number of Applicants who can be appointed. Please note, Applicants who are successfully admitted on to the PDPS are not guaranteed to be awarded any financial provision for the duration of this arrangement. It is expected that the Individual Service Fund (PDPS) will operate initially for the period 1 August 2023 - 31 July 2026, with an option to terminate or to extend for up to a further two years (at the Councils sole discretion) e.g., 1 August 2026 - 31 July 2028. Apppication form and information can be accessed via YORtender: YORtender (eu-supply.com) Reference: 62706
