In plain English

Cambridgeshire County Council is buying home care and community support services for vulnerable residents who need social care or NHS-funded continuing health care. They're using a 'Dynamic Purchasing System' (DPS) which means any provider meeting minimum standards can join and bid for work when it's called off every three months.

What the buyer wants

• Provide in-home care and community support services to adults with eligible social care needs in Cambridgeshire • Deliver NHS Continuing Health Care and Joint Funded Health Care services to registered patients • Work flexibly through a rolling system where new providers can join every three months

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

This is a very large contract (£300m) requiring CQC registration, trained care staff, robust safeguarding systems, and insurance. Most solo traders and very small businesses will be unable to meet the regulatory and quality standards or sustain the operational scale needed.

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.
