Social work and related services. Social work services. Health and social work services. The Council wishes to invite expressions of interest from providers who can evidence experience, quality and innovation in the provision and delivery of Adult Social Care Services. Providers are required to complete a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) and will need to demonstrate their ability to deliver care and support hours across these different care settings in a joined up and flexible way to achieve the Council's outcomes for supporting independence by moving away from a reliance on bed-based care in a traditional residential setting towards more diverse and person-centred community-based service.The service will be split into two lots as follows:Lot 1 - Older People Services (Community Alarm and Response Services, Extra Care Housing Services & Reablement Services).Lot 2 - Learning Disability Services (Respite, Supported living & Day Opportunities).The tender opportunity will be run through the London Tenders Procurement Portal and you will need to register your company with the portal as soon as possible (if you have not already done so) at www.londontenders.org to ensure that you are able to express your interest in this tender and receive the relevant documents once they are available online.Following evaluation of the PQQs a restricted number of providers will be invited to participate in a procedure based around a competitive dialogue procurement tender process providing an opportunity to work with the Council to champion new models for delivering these services in order to produce more cost effective outcome focused services for its residents. For providers invited to participate, this will initially entail an Invitation to Submit Outline Solutions (ISOS), after the assessment of which a reduced number of providers will be invited to Subit Detailed Proposals (ISDP). Following the subsequent dialogue, final tenders will be invited to establish preferred bidder(s). A more detailed anticipated timetable for the procedure can be found within the PQQ. The contract is likey to commence early 2015 or at such date to be determined by the Council.Possible options for letting the contract may include:a) One lead provider to deliver all the necessary care and support hours required across all these care settings for Older People and Learning Disabilities Services.b) Two lead providers split by client group with one for the Older Peoples Services and one for Learning Disabilities Services.c) Two lead providers for each client group if capacity is an issue or if there are risk management issues identified in the final specification from awarding the contract to just one provider.
