This tender involves replenishing the Central Patch and creating a reserve provider framework for potential contract replenishment over a 5-year period. The procurement method is a tender under the Light Touch Regime of the Public Contracts Regulations (2015), with a total contract value of £7,500,000 and a contract duration of 1800 days. The deadline for submission is 3rd May 2024. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the domiciliary care services sector to participate. Suitable businesses should have a CQC rating of good or above and an annual turnover of at least £3,000,000 directly related to domiciliary care services. The procurement stage is currently active, with the London Borough of Bromley acting as the buying organisation. Interested parties can find further details and submit their tenders electronically via the provided link. ## Notice The Council successfully appointed 8 Patch providers to deliver Domiciliary Care to residents in 2021. The contract period was for five years with one three-year extension (5+3) thus a whole life contract of eight (8) years. However, the council now has a requirement to replenish the Central Patch, as well as create a framework of reserve providers should additional Patches need replenishment for a potential period of 5 years. The council is now publishing an early pin-notice, subject to Executive approval, to inform potential providers of the London borough of Bromley's intention (subject to Executive approval) to publish a full Invitation to Tender (ITT) for: i. One Central Patch provider and ii. A reserve provider framework, of up to four (4) providers for the eventuality that the council is required to replenish any other patches during the next five years. The procurement will follow the Light Touch Regime of the Public Contracts Regulations (2015).

Please see the enclosed Invitation to Tender (ITT) document for full details of our requirements and how to submit a tender. Please note that providers are required to have a CQC rating of good or above at the time of tendering. Additionally, the Council requires that all Tenderers have a current annual turnover of at least PS3,000,000 (twice the anticipated annual Central Patch contract value) directly related to the provision of domiciliary care services. This framework will complement the contracts that are currently in place. The primary aim of this procurement is to ensure that the provider that chose to opt out of the arrangements is replaced (Central Patch) whilst developing a list of up to 4 other providers that could deliver the hours in any of the other available Patches, should a termination notice be given by either the current provider or the council (the latter where there is a breach of contract). It is important to note that the need to call off the framework in the future is not guaranteed and is subject to the need. If an award of contract is granted the provider will be required to adopt the same Contract, Specification and Pricing methodology that is currently in place for the Patch providers. For the avoidance of doubt, there is currently only one Patch contract available/vacant (Central Patch). The new provider will work alongside the remaining Patch Provider, and they will continue to operate as detailed in the original 2021 tender. The new framework tender will conclude on the tender evaluation scores, and these will be presented in descending order; resulting in the Provider that scores the highest score achieving first place. The Providers that score second, third, fourth and fifth highest will be ranked accordingly. Should the need arise to replenish any Patch later or during the procurement, the providers that are ranked 2nd to 5th following the tender will be offered the vacant Patch in order of rank/position and will share the Patch with the other remaining (where applicable) providers. Where more than one Patch becomes available the same process will be applied resulting in the remaining highest ranked provider (who do not already have a Patch contract) being offered the opportunity. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/010801-2024 | | Notice type | Planning 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 | Planning, Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Apr 2024 | | Submission deadline | 3 May 2024 | | 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 | £7,500,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LONDON BOROUGH OF BROMLEY | | Locality | BROMLEY | | Post town | Bromley | | Postcode | BR1 3UH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI6 Outer London - South | | ITL 3 | TLI61 Bromley | | Local authority | Bromley | | Electoral ward | Bromley Town | | Westminster constituency | Bromley and Biggin Hill | | Delivery location | TLI6 Outer London - South | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 3 Apr 2024 at 14:24 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/010801-2024 ## Notice URLs - http://www.bromley.gov.uk/ - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert/Index?advertId=7b32c36e-bdf1-ee11-8129-005056b64545 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
