  II.1.4) Short description
  Extension of 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 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 wishes to extend the validity of its existing DPS for a further 25 months starting from 09 October 2023 until 08 November 2025.
  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.
  For previous information regarding this DPS, please refer to the original OJEU Contract Notice reference: 2018/S 124-282380, URL: https://ted.europa.eu/udl?uri=TED:NOTICE:282380-2018:TEXT:EN:HTML
