What is being bought

Published requirement description

The Fife Health and Social Care Partnership (“the Partnership”/H&SCP) requires to commission a Care at Home Service from a variety of external care providers. Fife’s Health and Social Care Partnership is committed to personalisation and outcome-based services for individuals of all ages and abilities and is seeking to appoint a range of partner organisations to deliver outcome focused support to young people, adults and older people with a range of identified support needs throughout Fife, under a flexible Framework agreement.

This Framework commenced on 1st June 2023, and is being re-opened to allow new Care at Home Providers to bid for a place on the Framework.

Recurrence: There will be an ongoing requirement for external Care at Home Services, it is envisaged that the next time this will go out to full open tender will be 3 years (or 4 years with extension) after Contract award date. As this is a flexible framework this Contract will be re-opened at regular intervals throughout the Contract lifetime to allow new Care Providers to submit a bid to join the Framework.

What this means for your bid

Price carries 15 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 1.5 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
“Re-opening of the Flexible Framework for the Provision of Care at Home…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 100 suppliers, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.

Review and risk notes

Review procedure: Economic operators should approach the contracting authority in the first instance. However, the only formal remedy is to apply to the courts:
An economic operator that suffers, or is at risk of suffering, loss or damage attributable to a breach of duty under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 or the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014, may bring proceedings in the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session.

Publisher note: Tenderers should note that to improve the Tender completion and evaluation processes, the Tender Document (TN2) has been changed aesthetically, however the content is still the same, as the information that was originally requested in the appendices have been reviewed and now sits either within the body of the tender (quality questions) or the T&Cs. Providers already awarded a place on the Care at Home Framework (SC0005) are NOT required to re-submit a Tender. Please note this requirement is NOT for Supported Living, this has been advertised under a separate Contract Notice (SC0026) (SC Ref:782133)
