Overview
This is the second extension for the Council's Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for its ongoing provision of care and support services for adults with learning disabilities aged 18 and over. The DPS is divided into the following Lots: • Lot 1a - Moderate to severe learning disabilities - Care & Support • Lot 1b - Moderate to severe learning disabilities - Care & Support with Accommodation • Lot 2a - Profound and multiple learning disabilities and /or complex health needs - Care & Support • Lot 2b - Profound and multiple learning disabilities and /or complex health needs - Care & Support with Accommodation • Lot 3a - Learning disabilities and behaviour that challenges and/or mental health issues - Care & Support • Lot 3b - Learning disabilities and behaviour that challenges and/or mental health issues - Care & Support with Accommodation Therefore, the Authority is extending the validity of its existing DPS for a further 39 months starting from 9 November 2025 until 23 February 2029.
Please note that organisations can apply to join the Council's DPS at any time during its validity if they satisfy the selection criteria and none of the grounds for exclusion apply. If an organisation admitted to the DPS ceases to satisfy the Council's selection requirements it is likely that it may be excluded or suspended from taking part in any competition.
If an admitted organisation fails one of the grounds for exclusion during the validity of the DPS the Council may be required to remove the supplier from the DPS. For previous information regarding this DPS, please refer to the original OJEU Contract Notice reference: 2018/S 124-282380, URL: https://ted.europa.eu/udl?uri=TED:NOTICE:282380-2018:TEXT... and 2023/S 000-027896, URL: https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/027896-2023 For the avoidance of doubt, those providers that are already on the existing DPS do not need to respond to this contract notice as they are already admitted on their respective Lots.
