## About this tender

Isle of Wight Council (?the Council?) is seeking to establish a Dynamic Purchasing System (?DPS?) for the provision of personal home support services for adults.

The DPS will be used as the mechanism through which the Council will procure personal home support services for adults, which places a strong emphasis on outcomes for adults, so that their needs and aspirations can be met. The DPS is being established to enable greater choice, flexibility and personalisation for adults needing services, as well to drive improvements in quality in the market. It is a key priority of the Council to protect the most vulnerable by taking a person-centred approach, helping residents on the island to enjoy a good quality of life and supporting people to live as independently as they can in their own communities whenever possible.

Potential suppliers will first be required to go through an accreditation and enrolment process which sets out the minimum quality standards required to join the DPS. If successful in meeting these minimum standards, the supplier will be enrolled on to the DPS system and will be able to start offering to deliver personal home support services for adults.

Individual packages of care will be put in to the system and suppliers on the DPS will be required to demonstrate (?Offer?) how they can meet that requirement. Offers will be evaluated on the basis of 70 % quality and 30 % price. The quality evaluation will be broken down in to the following:

? Supplier Quality Score: (the ?SQS?) ? 30 %;

? Attributes: made up of Features (must have), Skills (if required) and Capabilities (would like) ? 20 %;

? Outcome statements: Suppliers written responses to the IWC questions ? 20 %.

The top 5 Offers will be placed into a shortlist based on their price (30 %), attributes (20 %) supplier quality score (30 %).

The top 5 offers will be placed on to a short list and outcome questions (20 %) will be evaluated. The Offer that is evaluated as being the most economically advantageous offer will then be awarded the delivery of the package of care, and will go forward to enter in a Service Agreement with the Council ?service agreement?.

Supplier self-assessment questionnaire;

Service user feedback;

Care Quality Commission (CQC) rating;

Contract management including practitioner feedback.

Service agreements raised under the DPS can commence at any time during the lifetime of the DPS. Suppliers can join the DPS at any time throughout its 4-year lifetime.

Additional information: Interested Suppliers must go the website [demand.spoc.net](http://demand.spoc.net). Once there, please select ?Our Clients? from the top right hand corner.

Once you have selected the relevant service you will be navigated to a new page where you will find user guides relating to the DPS including the DPS Entry Guide (How Will IT Work) and the entry criteria (How to Become An Approved Supplier).

Please read these two documents before starting the accreditation and enrolment process on SProc.Net so you know what the council will be looking for when reviewing the enrolments. The demand site also holds other user guides that will take you through the steps required to join the DPS.
