Dynamic Purchasing System for Children's Residential Homes

The London Borough of Haringey ("the Council") has worked with Axians to introduce a web-based portal, to manage the Council's Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). The Council will use this system for the procurement of Children's Residential services for the Council's Children's Directorate. The local authorities set out below shall also be permitted to award contracts under the DPS for the provision of services in its own geographical area upon entering an access agreement with the Council. * The following local authorities: London Borough of Barking & Dagenham, London Borough of Barnet, London Borough of Bexley, London Borough of Brent, London Borough of Bromley, London Borough of Camden, London Borough of Croydon, London Borough of Ealing, London Borough of Enfield, Royal Borough of Greenwich, London Borough of Hackney, London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, London Borough of Harrow, London Borough of Havering, London Borough of Hillingdon, London Borough of Hounslow, London Borough of Islington, Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, London Borough of Lambeth, City of London, London Borough of Lewisham, London Borough of Merton, London Borough of Newham, London Borough of Redbridge, London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, London Borough of Southwark, London Borough of Sutton, London Borough of Tower Hamlets, London Borough of Waltham Forest, London Borough of Wandsworth, London Borough of Westminster; and * Any local authority in the Home Counties as defined by YouGov. The DPS shall be divided into service categories. * Children's Homes * Solo Homes When applying for membership of the DPS, potential suppliers will be invited to select which service subcategories within each of the Service Categories they wish to apply for. The selection of the specific subcategory will determine which tenders the potential supplier will see. There is no limit on the number of categories and subcategories potential suppliers may choose - this is entirely at the discretion of the potential supplier; however, they must be prepared to deliver services in those service subcategories. The contracts to be awarded under this DPS will be subject to the "light touch regime" under sections 74 to76 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (the "2015 Regulations). Accordingly the full scope of the 2015 Regulations do not apply.
