## About this tender

Tenders are invited for inclusion on the framework for provision of Community Based Day Opportunities for Customers 16+ Years.

Service Providers of the framework will offer a programme of meaningful, stimulating community based day opportunities for people of 16 years and over in two main groups:

â&#128;¢ People with profound, multiple learning disabilities and complex communication and health needs

â&#128;¢ People with Autism, Complex Communication needs and behaviours which may challenge.

Service Providers will provide support and where required, personal care based on assessed needs in a way that suits the Customers' needs and preferences.

Customers may have complex needs, those with a learning disability and/or autism and with mental health difficulties. Some may have behaviours that are at times considered to 'challenge'.

Call-off contracts can be awarded by the Authority or the Customer(end user).

It is envisaged that Derby City Council will be the principal user of the Framework, however the Council wishes to encourage the culture of direct payments and over time the principal users may become the Customer. The Authority also reserves the right to use other procurement routes for some specific requirements. There is no guarantee given as to the quantity or regularity of call off contracts to be made. For these reasons, no guarantees of business value or volume can be given. Service Providers will have to form their own views as to the potential for such an arrangement.

This process is being run under the 'Light Touch Regime' in accordance with Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (regulations 74-77).

Conditions relating to environmental and social requirements of the contracting authority may be included in this contract.

The deadline for returns is 14:00 on 14 September 2017.
