## Summary

The Somerset Council is planning a procurement process for a Proposed Dynamic Purchasing System for Learning Disabilities. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically for health and social work services. The new system is set to go live on 01.04.2024, with key Provider Engagement sessions scheduled on Tuesday 21 November 2023 and Tuesday 28 November 2023. The location for the procurement is in Taunton, United Kingdom.

This procurement process initiated by Somerset Council offers opportunities for businesses interested in providing care and support services. Companies involved in health and social work services, particularly those focusing on learning disabilities, would be well-suited to compete. The procurement stage is currently planned, with a future notice date set for 01.02.2024, providing ample time for interested businesses to prepare and engage with the council.

## Notice

The Learning Disability Open Framework is being recommissioned as it is due to expire and a new Open Framework (also known as a Dynamic Purchasing System) will be required for 01.04.2024. One major change Somerset Council is proposing is the recognition that the new Dynamic Purchasing System will NOT be just for providers offering care and support for adults with a learning disability. The proposal is that it will be for all providers (with the exception of those we hold separate contracts with or are signed up solely to the Homecare Open Framework) and we would therefore like to discuss this with interested parties.
