Flexible Open Framework for the Provision of Supported Living Services
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
Derby City Council is seeking to establish a Flexible Open Framework for the provision of Supported Living Services under the Light Touch Regime, aiming to cater to adults and young people aged 16+ with eligible assessed needs within their own accommodation. This initiative will replace the existing Derby City Support and Accommodation Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). The procurement process involves an open procedure with a tender period ending on 30th January 2025 at 10:00am.
The framework will allow participation from partner organizations including Derbyshire County Council, Nottingham City Council, Nottinghamshire County Council, Integrated Care Board (ICB), NHS organizations within the D2N2 area, and Derby Homes, utilizing their individual terms and conditions. The project is valued at GBP 158,505,600, with a contract period running from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2033. The services pertain to the Health and Social Work Services category, and the procurement method is open with significant inclusiveness for both SMEs and VCSEs (Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises).
This tender offers notable opportunities for businesses specialising in various levels of supported living services, enhancing their portfolio and gaining substantial engagements through long-term contracts. The framework is inclusive, encouraging SMEs and VCSEs to participate across multiple Lots, which include low, medium, and high need categories. Businesses experienced in providing tailored social care based on individual needs and possessing appropriate CQC registration are well-suited for this procurement.
The requirement for DASH accreditation ensures that only high-standard service providers participate, aligning with regulatory expectations. This framework can significantly contribute to business growth by providing a stable and extensive demand for services within the East Midlands, predominantly around Derby City, facilitating the expansion of their operations and market reach.
