Summary of the contracting process
The London Borough of Enfield is extending its existing Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Care and Support Services for adults with learning disabilities, originally established in 2018. This extension will be valid for an additional 39 months, running from 9 November 2025 to 23 February 2029. The procurement falls under the Health and Social Work Services category (CPV 85000000) and involves multiple Lots addressing various levels of support needs.
This tender is currently at the tender stage and employs a selective procurement method, specifically a restricted procedure. The key location for service delivery is the UK region, specifically Enfield. This DPS presents opportunities for businesses in the health and social care sectors to grow by competing for a place on the extended system.
Companies specialising in services for individuals with learning disabilities and related support needs can potentially benefit from this opportunity. Organisations can apply to join the DPS at any time if they meet the selection criteria and do not face grounds for exclusion, providing ongoing chances for qualified businesses to enter or expand their presence in the market for care services within the specified locale. Businesses already included in the DPS need not reapply, ensuring continuity for current service providers.
The notice in full
This is the second extension for the Council's Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for its ongoing provision of care and support services for adults with learning disabilities aged 18 and over. The DPS is divided into the following Lots:
- Lot 1a - Moderate to severe learning disabilities - Care & Support
- Lot 1b - Moderate to severe learning disabilities - Care & Support with Accommodation
- Lot 2a - Profound and multiple learning disabilities and /or complex health needs - Care & Support
- Lot 2b - Profound and multiple learning disabilities and /or complex health needs - Care & Support with Accommodation
- Lot 3a - Learning disabilities and behaviour that challenges and/or mental health issues - Care & Support
- Lot 3b - Learning disabilities and behaviour that challenges and/or mental health issues - Care & Support with Accommodation Therefore, the Authority is extending the validity of its existing DPS for a further 39 months starting from 9 November 2025 until 23 February 2029.
Please note that organisations can apply to join the Council's DPS at any time during its validity if they satisfy the selection criteria and none of the grounds for exclusion apply. If an organisation admitted to the DPS ceases to satisfy the Council's selection requirements it is likely that it may be excluded or suspended from taking part in any competition. If an admitted organisation fails one of the grounds for exclusion during the validity of the DPS the Council may be required to remove the supplier from the DPS.
