Published requirement descriptionLeicester City Council (‘the ‘Authority’) invited Tenders for the provision of Day Opportunities Services. Leicester City Council led the procurement on behalf of Leicester City Council and the NHS Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Integrated Care Board (LLR ICB).
Day Opportunities Services support and enable people to access and participate in a variety of activities and opportunities, during the daytime, that help them to meet their social care and/or health needs.
Services will support the delivery of outcomes for people, and their families, who draw on social care support and see them being empowered and supported to participate in opportunities that enable them to meet their agreed outcomes as part of their support plan.
The activities and opportunities available will depend on an individual’s needs and interests. General examples may include, but are not limited to, IT training, cooking/baking, confidence building, friendship groups, sports, games and other leisure activities, household management, exercise, mindfulness and meditation, gardening, art therapy, visits to parks, museums or days out.
It was the intention of the Authority to award Framework Agreements for each Lot. There was no maximum number of providers to be awarded a Framework Agreement for each Lot. Tenderers should note that Lots 1 to 4 services are commissioned for the Authority only. Lot 5 services are being commissioned for both the Authority and the LLR ICB. The Authority provides no guarantee or volume of any work to any successful provider.
The Framework Agreements are Open Framework Agreements. Throughout the duration of the Framework Agreement, the Authority may review the Framework Agreement and may open it to the market for new appointments to it at its own discretion when a service need arises. Opening the Framework will allow the opportunity for any potential Providers who are not currently appointed to the Framework Agreement to submit a Tender to the Authority, to be appointed for the remainder of the term of the Framework Agreement if successful. Existing Providers may if they so wish, apply for the Tender opportunity for a Lot they previously did not Tender for or were unsuccessful for. As a service need has arisen, the Authority is opening the Day Opportunities Services Framework to the market for new appointments via this Tender opportunity.
