The Council is conducting the procurement via the "Light Touch Regime" as set out in the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR 2015).

The Council will expect prospective Suppliers to use innovation and efficiencies in service provision to ensure improved delivery of individual's outcomes as well as enhanced partnership working in order to provide an integrated service that works across health, social care, voluntary and other agencies within Buckinghamshire. Suppliers should note that the DPV will not be an exclusive arrangement and the Council may in certain circumstance award contracts to other suppliers on any alternative basis. The Council will first utilise existing block arrangements before utilising the DPV, if a suitable arrangement is not found utilising the DPV then the Council reserves the right to seek tenders from the wider market.

The Lots are: - Lot 1 Visiting Support - Lot 2 Day Time Support - Lot 3 24 Hour Support - Lot 4 Bespoke Support The Council cannot guarantee demand or volumes for the Services or for any of the Lots over the lifetime of the DPV.

The DPV will operate for a period of five years commencing on or around 8th June 2021. The Council will have the option, at its discretion, to extend the period of operation of the DPV for a further period or periods of up to two years. Suppliers that wish to be appointed to the DPV are required to complete a Selection Questionnaire ("SQ"). All those Suppliers who satisfy the selection requirements set out in the SQ, as evaluated by the Council, will be appointed to the DPV to the Lots for which they have applied. Suppliers will be required to put forward a compliant price within the price range provided for each Lot except Lot 4 which does not have a specified range.
