Flexible Procurement System (FPS) for the Provision of Independent Assessors and Reviewers

The City of Doncaster Council is initiating a procurement process to establish a Flexible Procurement System (FPS) for the provision of Independent Assessors and Reviewers in various areas of health and social work services. The FPS includes multiple lots covering different assessment and review needs such as Deprivation of Liberties Mental Health Assessments (DOLs MHA), Regulation 44 Assessments, Children's Safeguarding Practice Review (CSPR), Safeguarding Adults Review (SAR), Rapid Reviews, Domestic Homicide Reviews, and Stage Two and Stage Three Complaints. This open tender process is active, with submissions accepted in written form until 31 March 2033.

The procurement process falls under an open procedure and is established under the light touch regime with no maximum term for a light touch framework. The location for service delivery is DN1 3BU, Doncaster, within the UKE31 region. This tender provides a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those with competencies in mental health assessments, safeguarding reviews, and community health services.

It is suitable for service providers who can deliver detailed and critical reviews as specified in the various lots. The flexible and extensive nature of this procurement system means companies can bid for one or multiple lots, thereby expanding their service scope and market reach through long-term engagements with the City of Doncaster Council. Businesses that provide electronic ordering, invoicing, and payment services are particularly well-suited for this FPS, making it a promising initiative for operational growth and sector integration.
