Description
NHS Mid and South Essex Integrated Commissioning Board (NHS MSE ICB) is seeking to establish a Pseudo Dynamic Purchasing System (PDPS) framework provision for small and medium enterprises (SME)s, Voluntary Sector Charity Organisations (VSCOs), and organisations who could deliver purpose led services within the Mid and South Essex ICB localities.
This PDPS framework will be for a 4-year period from 01/04/2024 - 31/03/2028.
Under this PDPS the Authority may look to award a Call-Off Contract of between a minimum of 3 and maximum 24 months to a provider who has been pre-approved and gained entry onto the Approved Provider List. The headline mechanisms for undertaking a Call Off Procedure under this PDPS are set out later in the procurement pack and will be detailed within each Call-Off Invitation to Tender (ITT).
The Services to which this procurement relates above threshold of the Light Touch Regime of the Public Contract Regulations (PCR 2015) (as amended The Public Procurement (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020).
In order to be accepted onto the PDPS, all Bidders responding to the Stage 1: Request to Participate will complete the mandatory Selection Questionnaire, Qualification and Technical envelopes within the e-procurement portal. The Authority aims to open the PDPS each year to allow for new providers to Request to Participate, complete the mandatory questionnaires and onboard onto the PDPS.
As advertised in this Find a Tender Opportunity Advert, this PDPS has no activity guarantee, with a minimum contract value of £0.00 per annum. The maximum indicative aggregate contract value £500million. This indicative value was calculated by using the Authority's actual annual spend across a wide range of voluntary, small and medium-sized enterprises, specialist and locality specific purpose led services across the entire geography of Mid and South Essex. The Authority aims to procure such services via this PDPS (once it is established). Any services that do not align with the aims and objectives of this PDPS will be procured outside of this PDPS, in strict accordance with the Regulations.

The key objectives of the Pseudo Dynamic Purchasing System are:
Establish a compliant contracting mechanism to allow the Authority to quickly source appropriate, suitable, capable providers to deliver place-based services.
To establish an Approved Provider List of providers who have met and continue to meet the Authority's minimum selection criteria over the term of the PDPS.
To establish a transparent Call-Off and Award Procedure that can be adapted to the individual requirements of each Call-Off contract whereby the Authority can effectively narrow the pool of eligible providers from the Approved Provider List to those most appropriate and capable to be Invited to Tender based on pre-published Categories.
The scope of services is a range of purpose led, place-based, supplementary community services that are uniquely suited to the Voluntary sector and small-to-medium-enterprises (SMEs). The framework aims to enable NHS MSE ICB to develop a process that will support the community and voluntary organisations of any size to have a governance process in place to support with future commissioning and best utilise funding as it is available. The framework aims to enable Commissioners to best distribute funding and commission services at pace, particularly during in seasonal pressures, and to cover a wide range of support services within the MSE geographical footprint. Services in this PDPS include Locality Specific Community Services, Voluntary Sector Specialised Services, Supplementary Community Services (Adults and Children's Services), and Supplementary Mental Health Services across the Mid and South Essex geography.
