Description

Portsmouth City Council ('the council') is inviting requests to participate from suitably qualified suppliers to be admitted to a dynamic purchasing system (DPS) to provide domiciliary care services, ordinarily in Portsmouth but occasionally in the surrounding area.
Domiciliary care services support people to remain living successfully in their own homes. The service will help maintain an individual in a reasonable manner of health, hygiene, safety and ease in their own home. The level and type of support service required will be determined in line with each individual's support plan. Support service packages will vary in size based on the individual needs and may range from minimal support up to highly specialised and complex needs.

The council is aiming to establish the DPS on 14 January 2020 to commence on 1 February 2020. Requests to participate will be via
submission of a selection questionnaire

The DPS will be open for an initial period of 5 years, but it is anticipated that it will be extended beyond this on a rolling basis for as long as it is required by the council.

The initial closing date for receipt of your request to participate is 18 December 2019, but of course the nature of a DPS is that is will remain open to new suppliers for its duration.

If submitting an SSQ after the Initial DPS return deadline suppliers are required to alert the council to the submission using the correspondence function in In-tend and also via email to procurement@portsmouthcc.gov.uk
