Description
The London Borough of Ealing is holding a Stakeholder/Market Warming Event on Friday 13th December 2019 to discuss the procurement of a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Advocacy Services for vulnerable children and adults. Details of the event are below;
Date: Friday 13th December 2019
Time: 15:00 - 17:00
Venue: 4th Floor: M4.12 (20), Perceval House, 14 - 16 Uxbridge Road, Ealing, London, W5 2HL
The DPS will cover services in the following categories: 1. Independent Advocacy meeting Care Act duties
2. Independent Mental Capacity Act (IMCA) Advocacy, including Deprivation of Liberties Services (DoLS)
3. Independent Mental Health Advocacy (IMHA) meeting Mental Health Act duties
4. Independent Domestic Violence Advocacy Services (IDVA)
5. Advocacy for Looked After Children and Care Leavers
6. Advocacy for Children with Additional Needs
7. Advocacy for Young Carers
It is proposed that the Dynamic Purchasing System will be established for a period of 5 years plus one possibility to extend for a further duration of 2 years. The DPS will enable the Council to facilitate choice and flexibility for Advocacy services, as well as drive improvements in quality in the market.
The DPS primarily will be used for block and spot procurements for Advocacy Services. Prospective service providers are invited to apply for one, more than one, or all of the categories in the DPS. Service providers will be able to apply to join the DPS at any time during the life of the DPS after it has been set up.
The approximate value of the contracts which are expected to be procured using mini competitions from all categories of the DPS are approximately £104,250 per annum. The overall approximate value for the 7-year duration of the DPS (if extension used) is £729,750.
It is envisaged that the tender will be published during January 2020. Applicants will, be required to fill in a Selection Questionnaire and confirm they can meet the minimum qualification standards required to provide advocacy services to vulnerable children and adults.
