Tender description

London Borough of Haringey (‘Haringey’) is establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to procure and commission Residential and Nursing Services for vulnerable Adults in the borough and invites suitably qualified suppliers of Residential and Nursing services for Adults to request to participate in the DPS. These may include services that it procures on behalf of Haringey Clinical Commissioning Group. The DPS will procure services, emphasising choice, flexibility and an outcome driven person-centred approach enabling good quality of life and maximising independence whilst also driving improvements in quality of available capacity in the market. Potential suppliers will be required to go through an accreditation and enrolment process setting out the minimum quality standards required to join the DPS. Haringey will issue requests for tender to suppliers enrolled to the DPS when they arise, and will be able to start participating in delivery of services to the Haringey's service users. Suppliers will accredit and enrol to the supply category of Residential and Nursing. The supply category is broken down further into the following Service Categories: Residential; Residential Respite; Residential Step-down; Residential Dementia; Residential Dementia Respite; Residential Dementia Step-down; Nursing; Nursing Respite; Nursing Step-down; Nursing Dementia; Nursing Dementia Respite; Nursing Dementia Step-down; Residential Learning Disability; Residential Learning Disability Respite; Residential Learning Disability Step-down; Nursing Learning Disability; Nursing Learning Disability Respite; Nursing Learning Disability Step-down; Residential Dementia Mental Health; Residential Dementia Mental Health Respite; Residential Dementia Mental Health Step-down; Nursing Dementia Mental Health; Nursing Dementia Mental Health Respite; Nursing Dementia Mental Health Step-down. Suppliers will be invited to select which Service Categories they wish to apply for; with no limit to the number they may choose. Suppliers will be appointed to the Service Category/Categories applied for on the DPS. When placing a requirement on the DPS, the council will select which Service Category applies, and suppliers that are registered to the relevant Service Category shall be invited to submit an offer. The contracts to be awarded under this DPS will be subject to the "light touch regime" under sections 74 to 76 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (the "2015 Regulations"). Accordingly the full scope of the 2015 Regulations do not apply. Nothing in this OJEU Notice or any other document issued during the procurement process (which refers to the process regarding admission to the DPS, to the award of contracts under the DPS or otherwise) shall be taken as acceptance that the full scope of the 2015 Regulations applies nor is it intended to create any contract (express or implied) that Haringey is conducting the procurement in accordance with the full scope of the 2015 Regulations. In particular, and without prejudice to the generality of the above, although the dynamic purchasing system that is being procured is modelled on a dynamic purchasing system under regulation 34 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, Haringey is not bound by regulation 34 in relation to the establishment and operation of the dynamic purchasing system.
