Other Information

One major change Somerset Council is proposing is the recognition that the new Dynamic Purchasing System will NOT be just for providers offering care and support for adults with a learning disability. The proposal is that it will be for all providers (with the exception of those we hold separate contracts with or are signed up solely to the Homecare Open Framework) and we would therefore like to discuss this with interested parties. In order to participate in the new Dynamic Purchasing System Providers will need to be signed up before it goes live from April 2024. In order to support you in this process, we will be holding two Provider Engagement sessions to discuss our plans and also to provide information regarding the new system and the requirements for becoming registered. • Tuesday 21 November 2023, 9:30am - an information session to update you on changes to the Framework and the process for signing up • Tuesday 28 November 2023, 9:30am - a discussion session where you can raise queries and give your feedback Additional session - Wednesday 10 January 2024 - further updates and information on registering Please see advertisement on www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk for details of how to book a place.
