Publisher note: The subject matter of this procurement process relates to the delivery of services which are listed to in Schedule 3 to the regulations. As such the full regime set out in the regulations will not apply to the award of the framework contracts. Consequently, the procurement process adopted by the Commissioners has been developed in accordance with Regulation 76 of the regulations and in particular in accordance with the fundamental public procurement principles of transparency and equal treatment. For the avoidance of doubt this means that the Commissioners have not adopted the open procedure (as such term is defined in the regulations) for the undertaking of this procurement process. The fact that in this Contract Notice at SectionIV.1) the field/box relating to type of procedure may default to the term ‘Open’ does not mean that this procedure is being followed by the Commissioners. Estimated Contract Values: Please note that the figures provided in the main body of this notice are indicative, given that these services are demand led. It is envisaged that the range for the Lots, could be as follows - Lot 1A - Reablement and Homecare: £100,656,092 - £110,721,700 Lot 1B and 1C - Homecare (Zonal Partners) and Homecare (Accredited Partners): £64,118,340 - £75,530,200 Lot 2A - Extra Care Housing: £25,700,000 - £27,400,000
