two.1.4) Short description
The Council are commissioning Care in the home services including a Carers home and community respite service across Staffordshire for Carers who have been assessed as having support needs. Respite Care and support enables Carers to take a break from their caring role and evidence suggests that this can help to achieve positive health, wellbeing and quality of life outcomes for Carers. Fewer Carers experienced mental health problems if they had taken a break since beginning their caring role.
The purpose of Care in the home and Carers home and community respite Services are to enable Service Users to remain in their own homes, living as independently as possible and to achieve and maintain their autonomy, independence, personal identity and assessed outcomes.
This Procurement is a 'flexible Platform Agreement' which will be commissioned under the Light Touch Regime (implemented through Regulations 74-77 of the Public Contract Regulations 2015).

two.2.4) Description of the procurement
Lot A1 Standard Home Care Contract Zone 1 East Staffordshire
The total minimum estimated annual value for Lot A and Lot B(including sub lots) combined is £40,000,000 - £50,000,000. The total minimum Platform Agreement value range identified is the minimum that could be awarded via this Platform Agreement. This Platform Agreement is open ended and therefore the total estimated Platform Agreement value is unknown.
The aim of the Care in the home Services is to support the development of home care, increasing supply and encouraging innovation, whilst avoiding large-scale disruption of the market.
The strategic objectives are to procure a sustainable supply of home care across the county which:
Is of a suitable quality, meets the needs of the Service Users and improves their outcomes and experience;
Is timely and responsive;
Is cost effective and within the budget set by the medium-term financial strategy (MTFS);
Reduces use of reablement services to provide home care and delayed transfers of Care; and
Improves recruitment and retention of staff and supports a sustainable market.
The Platform Agreement duration will be flexible and will be in place for a minimum of no less than 4 years from 1st September 2021 - 31st August 2025 with the option to extend by 3 x 12 months to 31st August 2028. No later than 1st September 2024, the Council will review its intentions for any future extension to the Platform Agreement and will notify Suppliers of any future extension period of the Platform Agreement. Any further future
extensions will be notified to the Suppliers no less than 6 months prior to the expiry of any future extension period. Should the Platform Agreement be extended following the minimum Platform Agreement period and should the total estimated Platform Agreement value range be exceeded then the documentation will be updated in line with Public Contract Regulations 2015.
The Services procured under this flexible Platform Agreement fall under the Light Touch Regime of the Procurement Contract Regulations 2015 and therefore a hybrid approach to ensure flexibility of Suppliers to help manage demand fluctuations within Care in the Home will be used. Following the initial closing of the
flexible Platform Agreement and award of Suppliers to each Platform Lot and sub lots, the Council will reopen the Platform Agreement from time to time. This is to give prospective Suppliers from across the UK/EU the opportunity to apply to join the Platform Agreement. The Council reserves the right to reopen the Platform
Agreement and sub lots at other times to help meet demand.
Following the closing of any reopening of the Platform Agreement, the Council will evaluate the submissions against the same award criteria and same process as outlined further in this ITT Procurement Pack. The timescales associated with any reopening of the Platform Agreement will be identified within the procurement documentation issued at the time.
two.2.14) Additional information
This Platform Agreement will be open ended and will be in place for no less than 4 years from 1st September 2021 - 31st August 2025 with option to extend by up to 3 x 12 months. No later than 1st September 2024, the Council will review its intentions for any future extension to the Platform Agreement and will notify Suppliers of any future extension period of the Platform Agreement. Any further future extensions will be notified to the Suppliers no less than 6 months prior to the expiry of any future extension period.
In the event the Platform Agreement is extended the extension shall be on the same Terms and Conditions of Contract as the original Platform Agreement period and will ultimately be at the County Council's sole discretion.

Lot A4a Standard Home Care Pre Purchase Rota Contract Zone 4 Moorlands North
The total minimum estimated annual value for Lot A and Lot B(including sub lots) combined is £40,000,000 - £50,000,000. The total minimum Platform Agreement value range identified is the minimum that could be awarded via this Platform Agreement. This Platform Agreement is open ended and therefore the total estimated Platform Agreement value is unknown.
The aim of the Care in the home Services is to support the development of home care, increasing supply and encouraging innovation, whilst avoiding large-scale disruption of the market.
The strategic objectives are to procure a sustainable supply of home care across the county which:
Is of a suitable quality, meets the needs of the Service Users and improves their outcomes and experience;
Is timely and responsive;
Is cost effective and within the budget set by the medium-term financial strategy (MTFS);
Reduces use of reablement services to provide home care and delayed transfers of Care; and
Improves recruitment and retention of staff and supports a sustainable market.
The Platform Agreement duration will be flexible and will be in place for a minimum of no less than 4 years from 1st September 2021 - 31st August 2025 with the option to extend by 3 x 12 months to 31st August 2028. No later than 1st September 2024, the Council will review its intentions for any future extension to the Platform Agreement and will notify Suppliers of any future extension period of the Platform Agreement. Any further future
extensions will be notified to the Suppliers no less than 6 months prior to the expiry of any future extension period. Should the Platform Agreement be extended following the minimum Platform Agreement period and should the total estimated Platform Agreement value range be exceeded then the documentation will be updated in line with Public Contract Regulations 2015.
The Services procured under this flexible Platform Agreement fall under the Light Touch Regime of the Procurement Contract Regulations 2015 and therefore a hybrid approach to ensure flexibility of Suppliers to help manage demand fluctuations within Care in the Home will be used. Following the initial closing of the
flexible Platform Agreement and award of Suppliers to each Platform Lot and sub lots, the Council will reopen the Platform Agreement from time to time. This is to give prospective Suppliers from across the UK/EU the opportunity to apply to join the Platform Agreement. The Council reserves the right to reopen the Platform
Agreement and sub lots at other times to help meet demand.
Following the closing of any reopening of the Platform Agreement, the Council will evaluate the submissions against the same award criteria and same process as outlined further in this ITT Procurement Pack. The timescales associated with any reopening of the Platform Agreement will be identified within the procurement documentation issued at the time.

Following the initial closing of the
flexible Platform Agreement and award of Suppliers to each Platform Lot and sub lots, the Council will reopen the Platform Agreement from time to time. This is to give prospective Suppliers from across the UK/EU the opportunity to apply to join the Platform Agreement. The Council reserves the right to reopen the Platform
Agreement and sub lots at other times to help meet demand.
Following the closing of any reopening of the Platform Agreement, the Council will evaluate the submissions against the same award criteria and same process as outlined further in this ITT Procurement Pack. The timescales associated with any reopening of the Platform Agreement will be identified within the procurement documentation issued at the time.

Lot B1 Non Standard Home Care Contract Zone 1 East Staffordshire
The total minimum estimated annual value for Lot A and Lot B(including sub lots) combined is £40,000,000 - £50,000,000. The total minimum Platform Agreement value range identified is the minimum that could be awarded via this Platform Agreement. This Platform Agreement is open ended and therefore the total estimated Platform Agreement value is unknown.
The aim of the Care in the home Services is to support the development of home care, increasing supply and encouraging innovation, whilst avoiding large-scale disruption of the market.
The strategic objectives are to procure a sustainable supply of home care across the county which:
Is of a suitable quality, meets the needs of the Service Users and improves their outcomes and experience;
Is timely and responsive;
Is cost effective and within the budget set by the medium-term financial strategy (MTFS);
Reduces use of reablement services to provide home care and delayed transfers of Care; and
Improves recruitment and retention of staff and supports a sustainable market.
The Platform Agreement duration will be flexible and will be in place for a minimum of no less than 4 years from 1st September 2021 - 31st August 2025 with the option to extend by 3 x 12 months to 31st August 2028. No later than 1st September 2024, the Council will review its intentions for any future extension to the Platform Agreement and will notify Suppliers of any future extension period of the Platform Agreement. Any further future
extensions will be notified to the Suppliers no less than 6 months prior to the expiry of any future extension period. Should the Platform Agreement be extended following the minimum Platform Agreement period and should the total estimated Platform Agreement value range be exceeded then the documentation will be updated in line with Public Contract Regulations 2015.
The Services procured under this flexible Platform Agreement fall under the Light Touch Regime of the Procurement Contract Regulations 2015 and therefore a hybrid approach to ensure flexibility of Suppliers to help manage demand fluctuations within Care in the Home will be used. Following the initial closing of the
flexible Platform Agreement and award of Suppliers to each Platform Lot and sub lots, the Council will reopen the Platform Agreement from time to time. This is to give prospective Suppliers from across the UK/EU the opportunity to apply to join the Platform Agreement. The Council reserves the right to reopen the Platform
Agreement and sub lots at other times to help meet demand.
Following the closing of any reopening of the Platform Agreement, the Council will evaluate the submissions against the same award criteria and same process as outlined further in this ITT Procurement Pack. The timescales associated with any reopening of the Platform Agreement will be identified within the procurement documentation issued at the time

The estimated minimum annual agreement value for Lot C is £400,000 - £600,000. The total minimum Platform Agreement value range identified is the minimum that could be awarded via this Platform Agreement. This Platform Agreement is open ended and therefore the total estimated Platform Agreement value is unknown.
Respite Care and support enables Carers to take a break from their caring role and evidence suggests that this can help to achieve positive health, wellbeing and quality of life outcomes for Carers. Fewer Carers experienced mental health problems if they had taken a break since beginning their caring role.
The purpose of Care in the home and Carers home and community respite Services are to enable Service Users to remain in their own homes, living as independently as possible and to achieve and maintain their autonomy, independence, personal identity and assessed outcomes.
The Platform Agreement will be flexible and will be in place for a minimum of no less than 4 years from 1st September 2021 - 31st August 2025 with the option to extend by 3 x 12 months to 31st August 2028. No later than 1st September 2024, the Council will review its intentions for any future extension to the Platform
Agreement and will notify Suppliers of any future extension period of the Platform Agreement. Any further future extensions will be notified to the Suppliers no less than 12 months prior to the expiry of any future extension period. Should the Platform Agreement be extended following the minimum Platform Agreement period and
should the total estimated Platform Agreement value range be exceeded then the documentation will be updated in line with Public Contract Regulations 2015.
The Services procured under this flexible Platform Agreement fall under the Light Touch Regime of the Procurement Contract Regulations 2015 and therefore a hybrid approach to ensure flexibility of Suppliers to help manage demand fluctuations within Care in the Home will be used. Following the initial closing of the
flexible Platform Agreement and award of Suppliers to each Platform Lot and sub lots, the Council will reopen the Platform Agreement from time to time. This is to give prospective Suppliers from across the UK/EU the opportunity to apply to join the Platform Agreement. The Council reserves the right to reopen the Platform
Agreement and sub lots at other times to help meet demand.
Following the closing of any reopening of the Platform Agreement, the Council will evaluate the submissions against the same award criteria and same process as outlined further in this ITT Procurement Pack. The timescales associated with any reopening of the Platform Agreement will be identified within the procurement documentation issued at the time.

Agreement and will notify Suppliers of any future extension period of the Platform Agreement. Any further future extensions will be notified to the Suppliers no less than 6 months prior to the expiry of any future extension period.
In the event the Platform Agreement is extended the extension shall be on the same Terms and Conditions of Contract as the original Platform Agreement period and will ultimately be at the County Council's sole discretion.

six.4.3) Review procedure
Precise information on deadline(s) for review procedures
The Contracting Authority will incorporate a minimum 10 calendar day standstill period (or 15 days where non electronic or fax methods are used) at the point that an award decision notice is communicated to tenderers.
The award decision process will specify the criteria for the award of the contract/framework agreement, the reasons for the decision, including the characteristics and relative advantages, the name and score of the successful tender(s), and will specify when the standstill period is expected to end or the date before which
the Contracting Authority will not conclude the contract. If an appeal regarding the award of a contract has not been successfully resolved, the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland). Any such action must be brought promptly (generally within 3 months). The Court may order the setting
aside of the award decision or may order the Contracting Authority to amend any document and may award damages. If an agreement has been entered into the Court may make a declaration of ineffectiveness or may order that the duration of any relevant specific contract be shortened and additionally may award damages.
The time limit for seeking such a declaration is generally 30 days from notification of the award (either by award decision notification or contract award notice depending upon the circumstances) or otherwise 6 months
