Description
The Council is looking to develop a Pseudo Dynamic Purchasing System (Pseudo DPS) of qualified providers who are able to deliver services to people with ISF's.
Applicants who meet and pass the Application criteria will be admitted to the Pseudo DPS.
To establish a Pseudo Dynamic Purchasing System (PDPS), the Council is required to undertake a three-stage process.
Stage 1: Establishing the PDPS -- The Council shall advertise the opportunity to be appointed to a PDPS for the provision of ISF Services. Applicants will have 30 days to respond accordingly to the opportunity during the initial establishment of the PDPS, in preparation for the provision of ISF services.
Stage 2: Once the PDPS goes live, applications can be submitted throughout the lifetime of the PDPS.
Applications will be assessed on an ongoing basis with the aim to notify applicants of the outcome of their application within approximately 6 weeks of submission, subject to volumes received and resources.
Stage 3: Awarding of individual contracts
The person / individual (or their representative) can:
• Choose the Provider.
• Work with then Provider to use their ISF in a flexible way to meet outcomes and support needs.
• Use their ISF to pay for support from different organisations if they want to.
The services required under this procurement fall within schedule 3 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/102) and are therefore not bound by all of its requirements. The Council will follow its own modified version of the Dynamic Purchasing System process prescribed under regulation 34 for setting up and running this provision.
This modified process reflects the personal needs of service users and maintains the principles of fairness, openness and transparency.
Please note that this is not a competitive process and there is no limit to the number of Applicants who can be appointed.
Please note, Applicants who are successfully admitted on to the PDPS are not guaranteed to be awarded any financial provision for the duration of this arrangement.
It is expected that the Individual Service Fund (PDPS) will operate initially for the period 1 August 2023 - 31 July 2026, with an option to terminate or to extend for up to a further two years (at the Councils sole discretion) e.g., 1 August 2026 - 31 July 2028.
