Description

Gloucestershire County Council in partnership with the Gloucestershire Clinical Commissioning Group
(CCG) is commissioning Community Based Support services in the home for Health and Social Care within
Gloucestershire. Our commissioning intention is to keep people safe, well and as independent as possible in
their own homes for as long as possible.
This notice is in relation to establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to operate within the Urban areas
of Gloucestershire (Gloucester district and Cheltenham district) to support and strengthen current provision
within the two areas. The DPS will run for a period of five years.
To access documents please register on our e-procurement portal: www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk. Please
ensure that any application, questions and clarifications are sent through this e-procurement portal.
Note: The Services required under this procurement fall within Schedule 3 of the Public Contracts Regulations
2015 (SI 2015/102), hence the Authority is not bound by all of the prescriptive requirements of the said
Regulations. The Authority therefore reserves the right to follow its own modified version of the process
prescribed under Regulation 34 of the said Regulations for admitting candidates to the DPS and awarding
contracts thereunder.
Within each Zone, there is a requirement for a number of Service Types: • Home Care including waking nights,
sleeping nights and live in care • Continuing Health Care • Continuing Health Care Complex
Providers can apply to work in both Zones if they wish or only one, and similarly Providers can choose which
Service Types they apply for within each Zone. Providers do not have to cover a full zone if they do not wish to
as over the course of the DPS, we want providers to collaborate to deliver all the care needs in a Zone. There is
no limit on the number of Providers we will accept on to this Dynamic Rural Purchasing System.
