Tender description

Gloucestershire County Council in partnership with the Gloucestershire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is commissioning Community Based Support services in the home for Health and Social Care for the Urban areas of Gloucestershire. Our commissioning intention is to keep people safe, well and as independent as possible in their own homes for as long as possible. This Procurement will set up one or two framework agreements to provide Community Based Support Services in the Home within the urban areas of Gloucestershire. The final decision on the number of framework agreements will be decided during the procurement process. The Services required under this procurement fall within Schedule 3 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/102) and is therefore not bound by all of its requirements. Consequently, the procurement process adopted by the Commissioners has been developed in accordance with Regulation 76 of the regulations and in particular in accordance with the fundamental public procurement principles of transparency and equal treatment. The Council will follow its own modified version of the Competitive Dialogue process prescribed under regulation 30. The modified process reflects the importance of the statutory requirements of the Council to the Service Users requiring support, the immediate nature of care services in the home and maintains the principles of fairness, openness and transparency.
