Provision of Home Support, Principal and Framework Agreement

Descriptions

Norfolk County Council wishes to award contracts to Providers for both Principal and Framework Provision of Home Support in the South of Norfolk. Before we do this, we wish to engage with Providers. If you wish to attend this engagement on 14th February, please first register at https://in-tendhost.co.uk/norfolkcc/aspx/Home and express an interest in this procurement. Using the correspondence facility, send the name of up to 2 attendees with email contacts. We will then send you details of time and location. If you want to deliver home support for the Council in these areas we would urge you to attend so that you are aware of our plans. The Council wishes to appoint one Principal provider to deliver home support services in each Primary Care Network (PCN) within Norfolk. The intention is that the Principal Providers will deliver 70% of the hours and the remaining 30% will be delivered by a small number of PCN framework providers, whose appointment is subject to a separate procurement. This procurement is split into 4 lots, which covers PCNs in South Norfolk: The lots area: 1. Mid Norfolk 2. Breckland 3. Ketts Oak 4. SNHIP Please note that our intention overall is to limit a provider to having a maximum of 50% of the PCNs in an area. Bidders may apply for all lots in each area, but will be awarded no more than 2 for each area. If you have been successful in previous procurements, the number of lots you hold for an area will be taken into consideration. The procurement will be conducted under the Procurement Act 2023. We wish to use the engagement to discuss with you our requirements, the tender process we are proposing (competitive flexible) and expectations of all parties. We will also discuss lessons learnt from previous procurements for this service in other areas of Norfolk. Please note - the contract start and end date are there only because we are required to fill this field to publish.
