Description
The Council has an on-going requirement to procure Adult Supported Living Services. The Services will support vulnerable adults to live in their own homes and to play an active part in their communities as much as they are able. The Self-Directed Support (SDS) regulations offer Supported Persons a choice of provider to an extent not available through a Framework or a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) therefore the Council is utilising an innovative Procured Service Arrangement (PSA) under the Light Touch Rules contained in Regulations 74 – 76 of the Public Contract (Scotland) Regulations 2015. The PSA will allow providers to be added over its 15 year term, this will facilitate Supported Person's choice.
Lot Division
| 1 | Standard Care Lot 1 - Standard Care The Council is procuring Services for vulnerable adults and the term “Lot” could be seen as incompatible with the principles of individualisation and the procurement of social care services. The process however is a formal procurement procedure carried out within The Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 where Section 5. Conduct of the Procedure Regulation 47 details the arrangements for the division of contracts into lots. The use of this term for this procurement process is therefore unavoidable. Lot 1 - Standard care has 9 sub categories as below: Lot 1(a) - People with learning disabilities Lot 1(b) - People with physical disabilities Lot 1(c) - People with mental health problems Lot 1(d) - People with acquired or traumatic brain injury Lot 1(e) - People who are hearing impaired Lot 1(f) - People who are visually impaired Lot 1(g) - People with autism Lot 1(h) - People with substance misuse/addiction problems Lot 1(i) - People who are in receipt of palliative/end of life care. Contracts awarded under Lot 1 will be awarded in accordance with the arrangements detailed in Attachment 5 Call on Procedure. Bidders should note that the Council are not giving or implying any guarantee in respect of the value or volume of any services to be awarded under this Procured Service Arrangement. Award Criteria
