II.1.4) Short description
Nottinghamshire County Council (the ‘Council’) wish to continue to appoint Providers to their Multi Provider ‘Framework Agreement’ to deliver Care, Support and Enablement (CSE) services across Nottinghamshire County. From time to time the Framework Agreement may also be used to commission CSE services outside of Nottinghamshire County boundaries.
For background, the Council first issued an invitation to tender (ITT) for this opportunity in November 2022. The objective of the initial procurement exercise was to establish:
· A pool of Providers to deliver CSE services within Supported Living settings (lot 1), and;
· A pool of Providers to deliver CSE Outreach services (lot 2), as well as;
· A number of ‘ranked lists’ split by geographical area under those categories
Applications to become a party to lot 1 and/or lot 2 of the Framework Agreement are welcomed on an ongoing basis for the term of the Framework Agreement and will be evaluated on a six monthly basis as described in more detail in the tender documentation. However, the ranked lists (lots 1a-g and 2a-g, tendered as part of the initial procurement exercise) are not currently open for bidding. Any future opportunities to bid for the ranked lists will be the subject of a mini competition which will only be open to suitably qualified Providers under lot 1 or lot 2 of the Framework Agreement.
This opportunity is relevant to Providers who are interested in lot 1 and/or lot 2 and who have not previously bid for lot 1 and/or lot 2 or, were unsuccessful in their previous bid(s).
