In plain English

West Northamptonshire Council is setting up a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to buy residential and nursing care services for vulnerable adults. This is a long-term framework where multiple care providers can join and bid for work, with an estimated spend of around £293 million over the contract period.

What the buyer wants

• Provide residential care (accommodation + support) and/or nursing care (medical care + accommodation) for adults • Work collaboratively with the Council, NHS partners, and other providers to improve outcomes • Use strengths-based approaches, integrate health and social care, use technology to support independence, and demonstrate environmental and social value

Likely requirements

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

This contract is almost exclusively for established care providers, a small business without CQC registration, existing care facilities, trained nursing/care staff, and substantial operating history will not be competitive. DPS is a pre-qualification system, so you must meet strict regulatory standards upfront or you won't be admitted to the framework at all.

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.
