Dynamic Purchasing System for the Provision of Adults and Children's Home Support Services

Description

London Borough of Haringey (The Council) is establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to procure and commission Home Support Services for vulnerable Adults and Children (0-18 years). The Council invites potential suppliers of Home Support Services to submit a request to participate in the DPS.

The DPS shall be divided into Service Categories:

Adults Home Support:

- Home Support

- Reablement

- Out Of Borough

- Bundled Hours

Children's Home Support (0-18 years):

- Home Support

- Reablement

- Out of Borough

- Family Support

- Specialist Family Therapeutic Support Services

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.

When the Council requires specific services, it will run a mini competition on the sourcing portal. The Council shall select which service category, and sub-category applies to the mini competition, and the potential suppliers that are registered to the relevant sub-category shall be invited to submit a bid. At the end of the mini competition, the Council will normally award a contract for provision of the Services. The award will be to the supplier that best meets the Council's requirements based on an evaluation of the Bids submitted.

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.

Additional information: The Council wishes to establish a DPS for use by other public sector

bodies. Service provision will be across a range of public sectors including (but not limited to) ,

- other public sector organisations in London
