Overview
The Council has an on-going requirement to procure Adult Supported Living Services. The Services will support vulnerable adults to live in their own homes and to play an active part in their communities as much as they are able.
The Self-Directed Support (SDS) regulations offer Supported Persons a choice of provider to an extent not available through a Framework or a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) therefore the Council is utilising an innovative Procured Service Arrangement (PSA) under the Light Touch Rules contained in Regulations 74 – 76 of the Public Contract (Scotland) Regulations 2015. The PSA will allow providers to be added over its 15 year term, this will facilitate Supported Person's choice.
Contracts awarded under Lot 2 will be awarded in accordance with the arrangements detailed in Attachment 5 Call on Procedure. No Prices are being sought for Lot 2 at this time.
Lots (2)
- Lot 2Enhanced Care The Council is procuring services for vulnerable adults who have been assessed by the Council as requiring enhanced care
- Lot 1Standard Care The Council is procuring Services for vulnerable adults and the term “Lot” could be seen as incompatible with the principles of individualisation and the procurement of social care services
Regulations cited
- Public Contract (Scotland) Regulations 2015
- The Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015
Additional details
Enhanced Care is defined as a where the Supported Person’s presentation requires the support of a staff group with an advanced skill set who have validated competencies in routinely responding to unpredictable and high risk situations. Bids for Lot 2 only will NOT be accepted by the Council.
Bidders should note that the Council are not giving or implying any guarantee in respect of the value or volume of any services to be awarded under this Procured Service Arrangement. The process however is a formal procurement procedure carried out within The Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 where Section 5.
Conduct of the Procedure Regulation 47 details the arrangements for the division of contracts into lots. The use of this term for this procurement process is therefore unavoidable.
Contracts awarded under Lot 1 will be awarded in accordance with the arrangements detailed in Attachment 5 Call on Procedure. Bidders should note that the Council are not giving or implying any guarantee in respect of the value or volume of any services to be awarded under this Procured Service Arrangement.
