Leicester City Council led the procurement on behalf of Leicester City Council and the NHS Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Integrated Care Board (LLR ICB). Day Opportunities Services support and enable people to access and participate in a variety of activities and opportunities, during the daytime, that help them to meet their social care and/or health needs. The Authority awarded Framework Agreements for each Lot. There was no maximum number of providers to be awarded a Framework Agreement for each Lot. Tenderers should note that Lots 1 to 4 services are commissioned for the Authority only. Lot 5 services are being commissioned for both the Authority and the LLR ICB. The Framework Agreements are Open Framework Agreements. Throughout the duration of the Framework Agreement, the Authority may review the Framework Agreement and may open it to the market for new appointments to it at its own discretion when a service need arises. Opening the Framework will allow the opportunity for any potential Providers who are not currently appointed to the Framework Agreement to submit a Tender to the Authority, to be appointed for the remainder of the term of the Framework Agreement if successful. Existing Providers may if they so wish, apply for the Tender opportunity for a Lot they previously did not Tender for or were unsuccessful for. As a service need arose, the Authority opened the Day Opportunities Services Framework to the market for new appointments via this Tender opportunity. The Authority conducted this procurement under the Light Touch Regime for Social and Other Specific Services, as set out in the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (PCR), at Section 7 (Regulations 74 to 77) and Schedule 3. The procurement process was not conducted under the Public Contract Regulations 2015; however, it was similar to that of an Open procedure. The Process was as detailed in the Invitation to Tender documentation. It is the Authority's preliminary view that TUPE may apply in respect of this Contract. The proposed Contract will be for an initial period of 3.5 years to commence on 1st October 2023, with an option to extend, subject to satisfactory performance outcomes and agreement by the Authority, for a further period or periods up to a total of 2 years, taking the contract term to a maximum of 5.5 years. The Invitation to Tender document and its appendices and all other documentation issued to Tenderers set out the details of the Authority's requirements and how to submit your Tender. The Authority held an Online Tender Information Session conducted via Microsoft Teams on 9th February 2023 between 10:30 am to 12.30 pm. Further information on how to register for this session was contained within the ITT documentation.
