This procurement process is at the tender stage and is classified as an open procedure under the light touch regime. The location for service delivery is within the UKK12 region. The deadline for tender submissions is 28 October 2024, with the process anticipated to commence from 1 April 2025 and a contract period of five years, extendable by two further 12-month periods. Interested providers must submit their documents electronically via the Supplying the Southwest portal. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the health and social care sector, including those offering personal care and support services. Businesses registered with the Care Quality Commission, as well as non-regulated providers capable of offering support services, are invited to participate. The Pseudo DPS framework ensures ongoing opportunities, as the DPS will be open for new submissions every six months. This procurement model supports business growth by enabling suppliers to compete for both spot purchases and block contracts, fostering long-term partnerships and market presence. ## Notice The Council is inviting tenders from potential suppliers who wish to provide high quality care and support services under the 'Care and Support in Your Home Pseudo Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS)'. Providers may be registered with the Care Quality Commission as a provider of personal care to those who require this. Submissions from non-regulated providers able to provide support and assistance are also welcome. The Pseudo DPS includes three Lots - Home, Community and Partnership. Providers are invited to apply to join the Pseudo DPS at one or more of these levels, the expectations of each level being detailed in the specification. Personal care, as defined by the Care Quality Commission, will only be delivered by providers qualifying to join the Pseudo DPS Home Lot. Contract award to the Pseudo DPS does not guarantee any call off contracts, either on a spot purchased basis or through mini competitions for block contracts. The processes for call off are described in the Specification. All spot purchased care and support services called off of the Pseudo DPS will be subject to fixed rates as specified in the Contract Terms (PS27.52 per hour for regulated care and PS24.78 for non-regulated support) The contract term will be for an initial period of five years, anticipated to commence from 1st April 2025. An option to extend the contract for a further two periods of 12 months is enabled under the Pseudo DPS. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The contract term will be for an initial period of five years, anticipated to commence from 1st April 2025. An option to extend the contract for a further two periods of 12 months is enabled under the Pseudo DPS. Potential suppliers will need to complete all the documents outlined within the Invitation to Tender document and upload these to ProContract by the deadline specified. Any provider wishing to be considered for block contracts to be called off of the Pseudo DPS must ensure they complete the method statements appropriate for the contracts (i.e. for care and support within Extra Care Housing the method statements for the Community Lot must be completed; and for the Reablement service the method statements for the Partnership Lot must be completed). This is an open procedure under the light touch regime. The Council reserves the right to reopen the Pseudo DPS in response to market shaping requirements as necessary, to meet the needs of its communities. However, the Pseudo DPS will be open for new submissions as a minimum every six months and/or over the life of the DPS. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/030430-2024 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Dynamic | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 Sep 2024 | | Submission deadline | 28 Oct 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 | Not specified | | 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 | SOUTH GLOUCESTERSHIRE COUNCIL | | Locality | YATE | | Post town | Bristol | | Postcode | BS37 5AF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK5 West of England | | ITL 3 | TLK52 Bath & North East Somerset and South Gloucestershire | | Local authority | South Gloucestershire | | Electoral ward | Frampton Cotterell | | Westminster constituency | Thornbury and Yate | | Delivery location | TLK12 Bath and North East Somerset, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 24 Sep 2024 at 09:15 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/030430-2024 ## Notice URLs - https://www.southglos.gov.uk - https://www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
