SSD 24 01 Derbyshire Community Lives - Providers Framework

Descriptions

Derbyshire County Council are procuring a new framework agreement for the provision of support to a range of people. The framework will support the spot purchasing and delivery of a variety of meaningful activities and opportunities, to enable people with a health or social care need to do the things they enjoy and live more independently in their local community. The Council is keen to encourage applications from innovative and flexible services with the experience to support older adults, people who have a learning disability and/or autism, acquired brain injury, physical disability or mental health needs. A Light Touch Procurement Regime (LTR) will be used to evaluate and work with a range of organisations to form the framework. A LTR leaves room to design procurement procedures and applies to health care and certain other services. In line with the LTR, the specification is designed to give flexibility to Providers to deliver creative services based on the needs and outcomes of individuals. The framework will periodically re-open at the Council’s discretion, based upon sufficient demand or need, throughout the lifespan of the contract. Once reopened, the framework will usually remain open for a minimum of 4 weeks.
