The London Borough of Newham established a Supporting Vulnerable Adults Dynamic Purchasing Vehicle (DPV) in June 2023 for an initial term of 5 years with the option to extend for a further 5 years.

Category 2 - Supporting Vulnerable Single Homeless Adults (SVSHA)

Category 3 - Prevention and Floating Support

Category 4 - Extra Care

Category 5 - Shared Lives

Category 6 - Care Homes

The Authority will undertake the procurement for each Category in phases. This notice is in relation to Category 6 Care Homes & Assisted Living. Estimated Total Aggregate Value across the lifetime of the DPV for Category 6 is £503,115,701

Category 6 is for Care Homes & Assisted living within the London Borough of Newham which covers a wide range of services for residents with various levels of need. This may include providing support to residents in their own home who live within a shared setting e.g. Extra Care / Assisted Living as well as providing accommodation based support within a housing setting e.g. Care Home. The levels of care and support may vary from providing home visits on a regular basis to providing care and support throughout the day and night as required as well as the requirement for 24/7 on-site provision.

Providers may deliver both the accommodation and care and support element of the service or the care and support element of the service only.

Service specifications for category 6 are not available to view at admission stage, but core information relevant to the service specification is included in 'The Service Brief' document.

This should give providers enough information to decide whether they want to apply for admission to the Supporting Vulnerable Adults DPV - Category 6 Care Homes & Assisted Living.

The procurement is being conducted in accordance with Regulation 74 to 76 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The procurement is subject to the light-touch regime under Section 7 and as such, the Authority is free to establish a procedure, provided that procedure is sufficient to ensure compliance with the principles of transparency and equal treatment of economic operators (providers).

The DPV is open for admission and withdrawal of providers to each category (once launched) and specialism(s) (where applicable) throughout its lifetime. Applications for admission to a category will be assessed in "Rounds" throughout the lifetime of the DPV (further information below).

Providers applying for admission to a category within a Round will be required to complete and meet minimum standards set out within the procurement documentation.

The Estimated Total Aggregate Value for Newham across the lifetime of the DPV is £957,356,593.

The DPV is open for use to other North East London Boroughs.

The Boroughs are: Barking and Dagenham, City of London, Hackney, Havering, Newham, Redbridge, Tower Hamlets, Waltham Forest.
