In plain English
City of York Council is looking for care providers to deliver domiciliary (at-home) care services to adults aged 18+ in York. They are creating an Approved Provider List (APL) through a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), which means multiple providers can join and bid for individual service requests over time.
What the buyer wants
• Deliver personal care and support services in customers' homes and community settings across York • Meet Adult Social Care standards and work with York Council's referral process • Provide care to help adults achieve their agreed health and wellbeing outcomes
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This contract is for domiciliary care provision, not a trade service like cleaning or maintenance. Most tradespeople would be disqualified unless you are already a registered care provider with CQC approval and clinical/social care staff.
How to bid
This is a Dynamic Purchasing System: an open list of approved suppliers. You can apply to join at any time while it runs, and once accepted you can bid for the individual contracts the buyer runs through it.
