CWD Care Provider Register

Support to children and young people in the service who have severe and profound disabilities. The level of support may require taking children and young people out into the community, assisting with feeding, personal care, moving and handling. Some of the children may present with challenging behavior. Additional information: The Council has identified that the proposed service provision falls within the scope of "social and other specific services" set out within Schedule 3 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (Regulations). Consequently, the so-called Light Touch Regime will apply to this procurement.

The Council is orientating this procurement towards an adapted open procedure as described in Regulation 27 of the Regulations but using a “light touch” approach. The Council does not hold itself bound by the 3 / 7Regulations except to the extent that they apply to the light touch regime as set out in Regulations 74 to 76 of the Regulations.

During the 4 year period, the Council reserves the right to refresh the Care Provider Register and admit new providers onto the register who meet the initial quality and price evaluation criteria.

The requirements of the Services may vary and quantities shall not be specified, guaranteed or warranted by the Council.

The value of the service under the Approved Provider Panel Agreement is estimated to be in the region of £6.4m for Croydon Council.
