Learning Disability & Autism VCSE Sector 'Lead Organisation' on behalf of Derby & Derbyshire

NHS Derby & Derbyshire Clinical Commissioning Group; Derbyshire County Council and Derby City Council wish to commission a Derby & Derbyshire Learning Disability & Autism VCSE Sector 'Lead Organisation'. NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands CSU (AGCSU) is acting as an agent for and on behalf of the Commissioner and is supporting the procurement process.

The service is a Schedule 3 Service and is being procured under the Light Touch Regime (LTR) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015. The process is a one stage process similar to an Open process. The process is to set up a Single Provider Framework Agreement.

The contract is subject to funding allocated by NHSE/I at the start of each financial year. This funding is not guaranteed and if successful, the value is not known until award. It will then be the role of the successful provider to manage the funding and undertake effective engagement with service users and the Commissioner to agree objectives and allocate funds to capable provider(s). The total contract value stated within the advert is based on the maximum funding available. The £121,500 value for year one is based on the actual initial funding for the work package stated within Appendix One of the procurement documentation plus infrastructure costs.

The contract will commence 14th March 2022 and will be for a period of 3 years with an option to extend for up to a further 2 years at the discretion of the Commissioner.
