Tender description

Wiltshire Council is seeking to create an Alliance of Home Care providers to provide Help to Live at Home Services in Wiltshire. The Help to Live at Home Alliance will be created by establishing a Pseudo Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to procure these services which fall within the light-touch regime (LTR — PCR 2015 Regulations 74-77).The Pseudo DPS will in many respects look and feel like a DPS set up under PCR 2015 Regulation 34, but the flexibility of the LTR will apply. None of the formal procedural rules have any direct application including the requirements of Regulation 34. Wiltshire Council makes this distinction to avoid implying that it will follow, or be bound by, the full procurement regime under PCR 2015 for this procurement.

The Council and Wiltshire CCG wish to use the Help to Live at Home Alliance to purchase Help to live at Home Services and on successful application providers will be awarded a contract to deliver such services. The Council anticipates that it will, over time, extend the Pseudo DPS to procure further categories of home care service. These further services may include, but will not be limited to, Extra Care, Reablement, and Live in Care.
