Tender description

Nottinghamshire County Council is establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for residential care, including nursing care, for adults aged 16 and over in each of the following categories: 1. Learning Disability. 2. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). 3. Physical Disability and Sensory Impairment. 4. Mental Health Problems. This Dynamic Purchasing System will enable the Authority to procure appropriate residential care services offering accommodation, care and support, which promote independence and help people move into supported accommodation. The majority of work procured through the DPS will be placements for individuals. On occasions however the DPS may be used for other arrangements, for example to purchase a block of beds for emergency or respite use. Providers must have experience of providing residential care services relevant to this DPS, be registered with the care regulator and must comply with the relevant regulatory standards. The provider list will operate electronically via the Due North procurement portal. The DPS will operate for a period of 10 years.
