Description
Nottinghamshire County Council ("the Council") is seeking a suitably experienced Provider to deliver services to D/deaf people, under a single Provider Framework Agreement.
The Provider must have:
- a minimum of two years' experience of working with people who are D/deaf
- experience of employing and supervising D/deaf staff
- experience of developing professional and collaborative relationships with a range of partner organisations in ways that have a positive impact on D/deaf people
This Framework Agreement is established initially to meet the requirements of Nottinghamshire County Council but also enables the following 'Commissioners' to purchase services under it on a 'Call-Off' basis:
• Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust,
• Doncaster & Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust,
• Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Board, and;
• Nottingham City Council
The Framework Agreement will have a duration of four years.
All services provided under this Framework Agreement will be commissioned to do some or all of the following:
• Intervene at the earliest opportunity to support prevention by encouraging people to be more proactive about their health and wellbeing.
• Increase independence and reduce or delay the need for care and support services, including navigation of prevention and community services and effective self-care.
• Improve access to information to support self-care, independence and to promote health and well-being.
• Work, including in partnership with other organisations, to address inequalities.
• Use strengths-based approaches, drawing on the skills and assets across people and their communities, to create opportunity.
• Activities that enable effective communication, including British Sign Language related services and interpreting
In addition to establishing the Framework Agreement the Council will simultaneously enter into a Call-Off Contract under the Framework Agreement for 'Community-Based Prevention Services for D/deaf People'.
Bids will only be considered for the Framework Agreement and the Call-Off Contract for 'Community-Based Prevention Services for D/deaf People'
Further Call-Off Contracts may be entered into with the Provider during the term of the Framework Agreement with any of the Commissioners listed above.
Please note, this is a competitive procurement conducted in accordance with the Light Touch regime of Regulations 74-77 of the Public Contract Regulations 2015.
