Summary of the contracting process

Cambridgeshire County Council runs a Pseudo Dynamic Purchasing System (PDPS) for day services for older people with eligible care and support needs in Huntingdonshire and South Cambridgeshire.

The notice in full

Cambridgeshire County Council has three in-house day services for older people with eligible care and support needs, but none of them covers Huntingdonshire or South Cambridgeshire. Grant-funded services used to meet that need until the grant ended in March 2024. The council set up a Pseudo Dynamic Purchasing System (PDPS) so that providers can deliver day services in these two districts.

The notice asks for day services that can support people with personal care and with dementia-specific needs. There are two lots: Lot 1 Huntingdonshire, estimated at £355,680 excluding VAT, and Lot 2 South Cambridgeshire, estimated at £237,120 excluding VAT, a total of £592,800. Providers may apply for both lots.

The contract period runs from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2028, and no extension option is stated. The PDPS was advertised on Find a Tender and Contracts Finder on 7 December 2023 under the rules for social and other specific services. Applications are assessed in rounds, as set out in the Invitation to Tender.

To apply, register on ProContract (Due North), find opportunity DN669011, express interest and submit an application to join the PDPS before 31 March 2028 at 17:00.
