Tender description

Oxfordshire County Council (OCC) invites Applicants to tender to join a type of Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the provision of care home services for adults and older people. The subject matter of this procurement process relates to the delivery of services which are listed to in Schedule 3 to the Regulations. As such the full regime set out in the Regulations will not apply to the award of the DPS contracts. 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 ,equal treatment and proportionality. For the avoidance of doubt this means that the Commissioners have not designed a dynamic purchasing system (as such term is defined in the Regulations) for the undertaking of this procurement process. The fact that, in this contract notice at section II.1.3, the field/box relating to the establishment of a DPS does not mean that this procedure is being followed by the Commissioners. Similarly, the Council is adopting a single tender process for establishing the purchasing system but is not following the Restricted Procedure as defined in the Regulations.
