two.2.4) Description of the procurement
Thank you for expressing an interest in this Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). This e-sourcing portal is new technology and therefore we have summarised some of the information contained elsewhere in this document and provided some helpful instructions to assist you the completion of your quotation. Any reference to ITT’s or Tenders in the portal also refers to a DPS.
Please Note: The Services to which this Procurement relates fall within Schedule 3 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (the ‘Regulations’). As such, the procurement of the Services is being run as a bespoke, process akin to, but not the same as, the Dynamic Purchasing System Procedure. In conducting this process NHS Leeds CCG does not intend to hold itself bound by any of the Regulations, save those applicable to Schedule 3 services and therefore any reference to a DPS are not intended to conform to section 34 of the Regulations.
The total annual demand across the city is approximately 645,000 hours. This is broken down in to:
Daysits Homecare NightSits
87,215 409,916 148,470 (hours)
Demand broken down by postcode can be found on the map within the ATTACHMENTS.
Demand is variable and the numbers shown are indicators of previous use, they are not a guarantee of hours.
The DPS will be open to providers to participate until 12 noon on 31 May 2022 and providers can request to participate at any time. Evaluations of applications will take place at least every 3 months.
Participants must be able to provide care to postcodes within the boundaries of NHS Leeds (CCG). There are occasions when Leeds CHC funded service users live just outside the boundaries, the map in attachments details the postcode where Leeds CHC funded service users are receiving domiciliary care.
Participation and approval in the DPS does not guarantee activity or income and in the interests of being transparent the number of packages may decrease due to longer term commissioning plans meaning some provisions or postcodes mentioned above are no longer sourced via the DPS. Care packages will be uploaded to the brokerage system, Leeds Care Finder, and it will be the DPS providers’ responsibility to respond, using their NHS email address. The care packages will be available for DPS providers to view for up to 4 hours. The care package will be awarded to the first DPS provider, within 4 hours that can commence the package within 24 hours. If the care package can’t be commenced within 24 hours by any DPS provider then it will be awarded to the DPS provider that can commence the care package the soonest. If there are 2 DPS providers with the quickest commencement time then it will be awarded to the DPS provider who responded first.
It is our intention for all care packages to be commissioned to DPS providers and applications to apply on the DPS will remain open for the duration of the DPS which will support this.
If for any reason during the period of the DPS the CCG becomes aware of any reason why the provider would not still pass the selection criteria (for example, the CQC rating falls to inadequate or the service is not being delivered to what is detailed in the service specification) then the Provider will be suspended from the DPS until they can provide evidence that the selection criteria is met.
All packages sourced before the DPS is established will remain with the care providers already in place.
The estimated value of the total demand is £11,000,000 per annum.
