My Life - My Life PDSP

The Council is looking to develop a Pseudo Dynamic Purchasing System (Pseudo DPS) for the

delivery of Care and Support services . It is expected that the PDSP will operate for initially for 5

years, with an option to terminate or to extend (at the Council's sole discretion) for a further 5

years.

Appointment to the PDPS offers no guarantee of any level of business (volume or value) to any

Service Provider approved for inclusion onto the PDSP.

Support is payable to Service Providers on the Council's fixed rates which are currently as

follows:

• Hourly rate of £16.84
• Sleep in hourly rate of £9.13

The rates will be reviewed for 2022/23 taking into consideration relevant factors such as the

National Minimum Wage, the National Living Wage and any annual local government finance

settlement made to the Council. Thereafter the rates will be reviewed on an annual basis at the

Council's discretion in accordance with section 3 ('Service Payment Review') of Appendix I

('Service Payment') to the General Conditions.

The services required under this procurement fall within schedule 3 of the Public contracts

Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/102) and are therefore not bound by all of its requirements. The

Council will follow its own modified version of the Dynamic Purchasing System process prescribed

under regulation 34 for setting up and running this Care and Support Services Pseudo Dynamic

Purchasing System.

The initials set-up stage will allow providers to submit their completed questionnaires within the

first 30 days of the publication of the PDSP notice for assessment. Further applications will be accepted/assessed from 9th April 2022 and throughout the lifetime of the PDPS.

and economic growth and environmental and sustainability policy objectives where this is required

by the Contracting Authority in the contract documentation.
