II.2.4) Description of the procurement

At this stage the Authority is considering different ways to procure improvement support and may consider using one or more of the options outlined below. <br/>Organisations should note that as this requirement would be replacing an existing contract and grant there may be TUPE implications. Please seek advice from your legal representative on this matter. <br/><br/>Option 1) A single, non-lotted competitive tender. <br/>In this option, we would seek to deliver all overarching aims of our proposed activity in a single, non-lotted competitive tender, resulting in a single contract. <br/>Option 2) A lotted competitive tender split either thematically or by support type.<br/>In this option, competitive tender would be lotted either by:<br/>a. CQC LA assessment framework themes (Working with people, providing support, how the local authority ensures safety within the system, leadership) across all support types <br/>b. Support type (best practice resources, universal support tools, targeted support) across all themes<br/>Organisations could bid for one or more lot which would result in one or more contract following the competitive tender process. <br/>Option 3) Seeking views on whether organisations would be interested in delivering some elements of this activity as part of a framework arrangement.<br/>In this option, organisations would become trusted providers on a government managed procurement framework. LAs would then be able to commission improvement and support activities on agreed standard terms, benefitting from national government negotiated rates.<br/>Option 4) The authority <br/><br/>Subject to consideration of the responses we receive to this RFI we may choose to run a competitive tender process for this activity. We would anticipate an invitation to tender to commence in December 2023, with estimated contract start date in April 2024. <br/><br/>We anticipate that the funding will be in the range of up to a maximum of £9.6 million improvement funding over one year for a one-year contract/s.<br/><br/>Interested parties must register an interest in this RFI via https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome (search opportunities using system reference C214596).
