Current Service Requirements
Domiciliary care is the most common means by which the Council's Adult Social Care delivers its statutory duty to meet people's care needs. Clients typically access domiciliary care following an assessment of need by either a community social work team, the Adult's Intermediate Care Team or the Community Reablement Service.  The level and type of support required is determined in line with each individual's support plan.
The purpose of the domiciliary care service is to compliment the Councils priorities by ensuring:
•	People live longer and have healthier lives.
•	People are safeguarded in vulnerable situations.
•	Independence is promoted for older people.
•	People are enabled and healthy lifestyles are promoted.
•	Independence for people with disabilities are promoted.
Providers are provided with an assessment, which will detail the wishes, needs and outcomes required by the individual service user. Support packages vary in size based on the individual needs and range from minimal support up to highly specialised and complex needs.
Service users are ordinarily a resident in the city of Portsmouth and/or the responsibility of the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care Board (HIOWICB). The service user will be assessed as requiring health and/or social care services.
Background
The Council established a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) on 1st February 2020, with 3 separate lotting options under the light touch regime of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 to meet the existing and future demands for Domiciliary Care.
The DPS is constructed as follows:
•	Lot 1 is for those providers accepting the Councils' standard rate for domiciliary care.
•	Lot 2 is for providers offering services at a rate determined by the provider.
•	Lot 3 is for awarding contracts for complex cases and is usually negotiated on a case-by-case basis between practitioner and provider outside of the brokerage process (principally Continuing Health Care placements).
The DPS was initially awarded on the basis of a 5-year term, with the option to extend beyond the initial term by a minimum of 1-year intervals for an indefinite period. At the point of establishment 39 suppliers were successful with their application onto the DPS, with some suppliers on multiple lots.
The DPS was advertised with an anticipated annual value of £9.2M a year and spend of £46M over the initial 5 year-based term of the DPS.
By October 2023, the Council was in a situation where the number of providers on the DPS was exceeding the demand, with the risk of destabilising the market for existing providers by winning less call-off contracts, threatening the business models as well as creating a risk to the Council.
Following a review of the DPS capacity (see II.2.14. Additional information for further details), the Council issued a modification notice on the 17 November 2023 to close the DPS for new applicants following a 30 day application period.
The Council received a further 45 number of applicants by the 18th December 2023 when the DPS was closed, with 23 new suppliers being successfully award a place the DPS.
Ongoing and predicted spend
The original advertised contract value was forecast to be in the region of £9.2 million per annum.
However, the Council have spent the following within the first 5 years of the DPS -
2020/21 - IRO £12.5 million
2021/22 - IRO £13.5 million
2022/23 - IRO £14.5 million
2023/24 - IRO £17.6 million
2024/25 - IRO £19.7 million (forecast)
The reasons behind the increased levels of spend include - annual uplifts, allocation of unexpected grants during Covid, and increase in demand. The result of this has meant the estimated spend over the initial 5 years exceeded the estimated value included within the original contract notice.
Known current supply and demand
There are currently 62 providers on the DPS. Supply of domiciliary care in the City currently exceeds demand, resulting in multiple offers of care for most referrals.
The situation is not unique to Portsmouth and seems to be a picture found in many urban areas. It is a recent development, which has emerged gradually over the past 3 years or so.
To ensure fairness and transparency with providers that are on the DPS, packages of care are allocated to those achieving 100% via the brokerage portal and then filtered to the provider that has been awarded the least number of hours during the current month. The average number of bids achieving 100% per package of care is between 5 and 15. Client preference may apply to Tier 1.
As of July 2024, there were 1089 clients in receipt of 19,500 hours of domiciliary care per week. This includes standard domiciliary care, sitting services, social inclusion and sleeping/waking nights.
Future
The Council needs to address the current situation with regard to market saturation and review the commissioning model in the most cost-effective manner possible. The Council have conducted research with other Local Authorities to explore different models of commissioning home care, and now need to engage with providers for their input. The Council are are holding an in-person event at Portsmouth Guildhall on 12th February to explore the future for home care in Portsmouth.
At this stage, the Council are restricting attendance to one person from each provider as the Council can only accommodate 100 places at the event. The event will be on a first come first serve basis. In the event that the Council exceeds the maximum occupancy for the event, the Council reserves the right to run an additional online event to engage further with providers who could not attend the in-person event.
Places for the event can be reserved using the following link - https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/portsmouth-city-council-home-care-re-commissioning-consultation-event-tickets-1125218000329?aff=oddtdtcreator
In addition, providers can find the link to the event and details of the SMT event on the Councils e-sourcing platform - Intend. Should providers have any questions around the SMT event, then suppliers should use the correspondence function on Intend.  Providers can register on Intend using the following link - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/portsmouthcc/aspx/home.
The Council are interested to explore your views on some of these options, and to hear about your own experience of what has worked well -and not so well - with other Local Authorities. The event is a genuine opportunity to have your voice heard and contribute to shaping the future of home care services in our community. The Council estimate that the new service may take two years to fully commission and be operational.
In order to deliver ongoing services across the Portsmouth region, the Council will need to extend the existing DPS by an initial period of 12 months from 1st February 2025 to 31st January 2026, whilst the Council develops the procurement and contracting strategy to commission the updated service requirements. However, the Council reserves the right to extend this term further by additional 12-month increments until the Council has successfully commissioned the new delivery model.
The Council would anticipate the annual spend for the next 12-month period to be in the region of £20.3M. Any additional extensions beyond this term are likely to exceed this annual value, as the Council will need to take into account potential increases in costs and levels of demand.  An estimated total level of spend over a 24-month period would be £41.7M.
As outlined above, the Council is not looking to reopen the DPS for new entrants during the extension periods due to the level of market saturation, though this will be kept under review. Additional information: The Council are conducting the SMT exercise to:
•	Provide a platform to share information on:
o	Current scope & potential future demand
o	Envisaged contracting strategy options
o	Changing financial climate and associated pressures
o	Key Council policies and future decision-making processes
•	Review and understand:
o	Market capacity and capability to deliver service requirements
o	Suppliers current market presence and coverage
o	Current contracting model market norms
o	Market interest and preference in respect of potential delivery model options
o	Existing pricing models
o	Developments of industry accreditations, compliance and best practice
•	To gauge interest from different types of suppliers, including both regional Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and large providers
•	Inform the further development of the procurement strategy, process and programme
•	Manage potential conflicts of interest early in the process
•	Future proof compliance of any subsequent procurement process with the increased transparency obligations, risk assessment and conflict assessment requirements of the forthcoming Procurement Act 2023
Conflicts Assessment
The Procurement Act 2023 requires the Council to identify and keep under review actual and potential conflicts of interest. The Council must also mitigate conflicts of interest and address circumstances which the Council considers are likely to cause a reasonable person to wrongly believe there to be a conflict or potential conflict of interest.
A conflict of interest arises when an individual's personal interests, relationships, or activities have the potential to interfere with their impartiality or the integrity of the procurement process. This may include financial, personal, familial, or business interests that could improperly influence, or be perceived to influence, their decisions or actions.
Interested providers should review the Conflicts of Interest Statement, available through Intend, for further details of the Council's duty regarding conflict of interests.
To meet current and future conflict of interest obligations, the Council requires that all providers participating in the SMT process to complete a Conflicts of Interest Declaration as a condition of participating in the in-person event. These will be made available at the in-person event
Closing the DPS - Market Saturation
When considering closing the DPS the Council reviewed the Public Contract Regulations, the Council particularly reviewed the following regulation -
Principles of awarding contracts - 76(8) In relation to the award of contracts subject to this Section, contracting authorities may take into account any relevant considerations, including -
(a)the need to ensure quality, continuity, accessibility, affordability, availability and comprehensiveness of the services;
(b)the specific needs of different categories of users, including disadvantaged and vulnerable groups;
(c)the involvement and empowerment of users; and
(d)innovation.
76(8) (a) & (b) is deemed important as this articulates 'the need to ensure quality, continuity, accessibility, affordability, availability, and comprehensiveness of the services' and consider 'the specific needs of different categories of users, including disadvantaged and vulnerable groups'.
This is fundamental to the Council in deciding to close the DPS as if the Council did not act, then this would certainly compromise the quality of provision due to further diluting the market and risking high quality providers going out of business/ no longer bidding for packages in Portsmouth. This also has an impact onto the council's ability to meet the needs of the vulnerable people it supports.
There was also a risk to providers who cannot sustain their business model. The Council saw an increase in existing providers contacting the Council individually about lack of sustainability of their business based on the current situation. This was also replicated by representatives of Hampshire Care Association.
There was a risk to Adult Social Care clients who may lose established provision creating a lack of continuity of care from regular carers which will mean individuals having to move between different care agencies.
The closure of the DPS ensured more sustainable and thus meet individual's needs in a more consistent and affordable way.
If the Council failed to act, then this would have compromised the quality of provision due to further diluting the market and risking providers going out of business/no longer bidding for packages in Portsmouth.
Whilst currently the Council do not foresee a need to re-open the DPS following the proposed closure, the Council will review the situation and factors around supply and demand, if there are significant market changes during the remainder of this contract. The council will then re-open the DPS, if required.
II.3. Estimated date of publication of contract notice
The Council has included a date of 8th September 2025 for when the contract notice will be issued as required to publish the PIN notice. However, the Council are at the early stages of developing the overall commissioning strategy, so this date is likely to be subject to change as the procurement and contract strategy is developed further.

title: Portsmouth City Council Home Care Re-Commissioning Consultation

description:
Portsmouth City Council (the 'Council') is undertaking a Soft Market Testing (SMT) exercise as part of a strategic review of delivery options in providing domiciliary care services, mainly within the Portsmouth boundary (PO1 To PO6) but occasionally in the surrounding area.
The nature of support required will be individualised and will be aimed at maintaining individuals in a reasonable state of health, hygiene and safety in their own home. Support packages will vary in size based on the individual needs and may range from minimal support up to highly specialised and complex needs.
The Council have reviewed current and alternative delivery models with other Local Authorities to explore the commissioning of home care. The Council's aim in undertaking this SMT exercise is to explore providers views on these delivery options, and to identify current working practices, existing challenges and risks within the market with other Local Authorities that providers are currently and previously providing support services for.
The feedback will inform the Council's strategic options and help ensure that any subsequent procurement strategy is optimised to meet resident needs, strategic objectives, statutory obligations and best value duties.
The Council are inviting interested providers to attend an in-person Home Care Re-Commissioning Consultation event at the Lord Mayors Banqueting Hall in Portsmouth Guildhall on 12th February 2025 from 10:00 to 14:30 to explore the future for home care in Portsmouth. The in-person event is providers opportunity to contribute to shaping the future of home care services in our community.
At this stage, the Council are restricting attendance to one person from each provider as the Council can only accommodate 100 places at the event. The event will be on a first come first serve basis. In the event that the Council exceeds the maximum occupancy for the event, the Council reserves the right to run an additional online event to engage further with providers who could not attend the in-person event.
Places for the event can be reserved using the following link - https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/portsmouth-city-council-home-care-re-commissioning-consultation-event-tickets-1125218000329?aff=oddtdtcreator
In addition, providers can find the link to the event and details of the SMT event on the Councils e-sourcing platform - Intend. Should providers have any questions around the SMT event, then suppliers should use the correspondence function on Intend.  Providers can register on Intend using the following link - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/portsmouthcc/aspx/home.
The Council have published this Prior Information Notice and subsequent associated documents under the current Public Contract Regulations 2015. However, the subsequent formal procurement will commence under the Procurement Act 2023 as this will be after the current go live date of 24th February 2025, subject to their being no further significant delays.
To avoid any future compliance issues impacting a subsequent procurement process, the Council has designed an SMT process that will align with the requirements of the Procurement Act 2023, particularly in relation to the increased transparency, conflict assessment and risk assessment considerations that the act will impose.
The Council established a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) on 1st February 2020, to meet the existing and future demands for Domiciliary Care.
The DPS was initially awarded on the basis of a 5-year term, with the option to extend beyond the initial term by a minimum of 1-year intervals for an indefinite period.  The Council closed the DPS to new entrants on 18th December 2023.
Whilst the Council undertakes the SMT review, the Council is extending the DPS by an initial 12 month period with further options to extend until the commissioning model can be re-procured, without re-opening the DPS to new entrants.

The proposed regional lot structure consists of 9 lots across 8 North and Mid-Wales Areas: Ynys Môn (Anglesey), Gwynedd, Conwy, Sir Ddinbych (Denbighshire), Sir y Fflint (Flintshire), Wrecsam (Wrexham), Ceredigion, North and South Powys. Plus, an additional ‘All areas lot — covering Lots 1-9 (the Super-Lot)'. Please see the procurement documents for further details. The works (including associated services and/or supplies) to be delivered are new build housing projects, including housing, bungalows, flats, apartments, care homes, etc. WPA anticipates a wide range of projects being delivered under the framework, from single smaller sites to complex multi-site projects. This is reflected in a value-banded lot structure within each area (and the ‘all areas 1-9’ (Super-Lot)). For delivery of developments of varying sizes: up to 5 units, 6-15 units, 16-49 units, 50 units and above. The framework also provides for the delivery of associated community buildings to residential developments (such as hubs and sporting facilities e.g. meeting places, health and care centers, recreational facilities and libraries). Plus, any associated commercial facilities such as car parks and retail units. However, whilst scope for this associated development is included, bidders will not be substantively evaluated on this aspect of development, rather clients seeking to commission such developments (permissible only as incidental to a residential scheme) will carry out a mini-competition. Capability to compete such developments is also not criteria for selection.

title: Havering - Crisis Cafe

description:
The service is for Havering adult residents or those presenting to Havering emergency services who perceive themselves to be in, or at risk of moving into, mental health crisis (self-defined). This is the defining criteria for the service and robust screening procedures will be required that ensure access and prioritisation of those in most need. Those with multiple needs and co-morbidities are to be welcomed provided that the primary need is mental health crisis.
Access to the service will normally be direct access by self-presentation. Prior to operation partner agencies will make people aware of the service and introduce people via referral pathways.

Havering Crisis  Café will support people in crisis to better self-manage their symptoms and distress in a safe and appropriate environment. This will  improve access to Mental Health services as an alternative  to ED  attendances.
to reduce activity in Emergency Departments and the wider system including mental health services, police and ambulance services.

The key objectives will be to:
•	Provide a non-stigmatising, calm and safe environment.
•	Provide support to help people resolve their crisis.
•	Provide practical and emotional support to enable the service users and carers to better self- manage their distress, aid their recovery, and reduce dependency.
•	Ensure that support staff, peer supporters and volunteers are trained, supported and professional in their approach.
•	Operate as an alternative to Emergency Departments and other emergency services for people experiencing a mental health crisis that does not require medical intervention.
•	Link with the wider service system to ensure a joined-up partnership approach to the development of local services.

The  Provider will:
•	support each user of service to remain at the centre of their care, with informed choice over all aspects of their care and the inclusion of their chosen support network (incl. family/friends/advocates/other key partner agencies etc)
•	see each person as an individual and not just focus on their mental health condition. Take a holistic approach to respecting people’s own understanding of their distress, their needs and strengths, and recognising all aspects of what brings meaning and value to people’s lives. This will include considering, and addressing as needed, the wider social aspects that may have precipitated their mental health crisis (such as safe housing, financial security, physical health, relationships)
•	acknowledge individual differences, such as age, gender, culture, beliefs and support net-works and intersectionality
•	try to understand each individual’s situation and experience, as each person is different – ‘what happened to you’, as opposed to ‘what’s wrong with you’.

A proportion of the Provider staff will have lived experience of mental health issues and will be able to provide a Peer Support element to the care provided and programme of activities.  Peers will pro-mote the significance of lived experience in engaging with people with compassion, strength-based practice and demonstrating hope in the model of care.

title: Development Agreement in relation to Great North Leisure Park and Finchley Leisure Centre

description: Subject to performance and budget there is a contractual price review mechanism, and an alternative option for a smaller leisure centre at the same site.

description: The project is for the development of the site to the north of GNLP. Under the development agreement the parties will vary the Headleases to accommodate a proposed development on the Developer’s site. The Developer will surrender a strip of land to facilitate the development of a Leisure Centre and build the Leisure Centre on the former bowling green site owned by the Council to the north of GNLP. The estimated value of the Leisure Centre is £45MexcVAT. The Leisure Centre will be part funded up to £29M by the developer through land receipts. An alternative scheme in contemplation is a smaller leisure centre with fewer facilities offering a lower cost option in the range of £29–45M. The development is subject to various conditions (planning, funding and ground investigation) and will contain protections if the development of the Leisure Centre does not proceed. This may include a smaller leisure centre or surrender of the lease and retaining the site of the current Leisure Centre. Additional information: Authorisation to proceed with Development Agreement Decision - Great North Leisure Park (GNLP) and Finchley Lido Leisure Centre - Development Agreement (DA) can be accessed by copy and pasting the following into web brower search https://barnet.moderngov.co.uk/ieDecisionDetails.aspx?ID=9506

description: Barnet

description: II.1.4) Short Description: The project is for the development of the site to the north of the Great North Leisure Park, Finchley, London. The London Borough of Barnet (LBB) intend to enter into a development agreement with Regal GNLP Limited. LBB is the freeholder of a large area of land including the Great North Leisure Park (“GNLP”) and the Developer owns a long headlease of GNLP and a headlease of land to the north of GNLP (known as Glebelands). Part of the land comprised within the Headlease, is subject to an underlease back to LBB of the current Finchley Leisure Centre. The developer intends to develop a residential led mixed-use scheme on the GNLP site, including the plot occupied by the current Finchley Leisure Centre. LBB has identified that the site to the north of GNLP can accommodate a replacement leisure centre to the current Finchley Leisure Centre and is attracted by this opportunity to refresh facilities and make a step-change in local leisure provision.

description: Development of non-residential real estate

procurementMethod: limited

procurementMethodDetails: Negotiated without publication of a contract notice

procurementMethodRationale: This VEAT Notice sets out the Council’s intention to directly contract with Regal GNLP Limited (the “Developer”) to develop a New Leisure Centre in North Finchley. There is an anticipated target completion date of January 2029 and an overall long stop date of 5 years from completion. The Council intends to observe a period of at least 10 days from the date of publication of this VEAT and will not enter into the contract during that period. The Council considers that the award of the Development Agreement is permitted pursuant to Regulation 32(2)(b)(iii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR) which permits the use of negotiated procedure without prior publication for public works contracts, public supply contracts and public service contracts where the works, supplies or services can be supplied only by a particular economic operator on the basis of the protection of exclusive rights, and the absence of competition is not the result of an artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement. The Council’s view is that the development can only be delivered by the Developer because the Developer has exclusive rights under a long leasehold interest in the land and no reasonable alternative or substitute exists. The Council’s view is that because the Developer has a leasehold interest over land which encroaches on the proposed site of the New Leisure Centre and therefore has control of access to the new site, and because Regal would need to surrender part of its current lease on the existing leisure centre to make the entire footprint of the New Leisure Centre available for development, to deliver this project, the Council must enter into contract directly with the Developer. If the Council does not develop the New Leisure Centre, it will be retaining an ageing, inefficient and increasingly expensive asset. No alternative provider could undertake the Development Agreement to develop the New Leisure Centre because the Developer controls access to the land and will need to surrender part of its current lease to the Council to make the New Leisure Centre available for development and there is no alternative suitable site. This absence of competition is not the result of an artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement

EdTech Hub will engage partners who are implementing EdTech interventions in these thematic areas, and co-design implementation research partnerships with them. These partnerships will generate rigorous, practical evidence on how EdTech can improve teaching, strengthen education systems, and, ultimately, children's learning outcomes.
Those submitting concept notes (2-5 pages in length) should be implementing EdTech interventions in one or more LMICs. The concept note should describe the intervention and the research questions they propose to answer through an implementation research partnership. They should also describe their organisation's capacity to contribute to the implementation research (beyond doing the implementation itself) through, for example, data collection, ongoing monitoring, complementary research efforts, in-house research or M&E capacity, etc. This should include the amount of funding they would need to support their component of the implementation research. Importantly, the concept note should describe the potential impact of the implementation research with regard to scalability, sustainability, evidence generation, etc.
Interested parties should reach out to the contact listed below if they would like to have a meeting with the EdTech Hub team about the implementation research partnerships before submitting a concept note.

The concept note should describe the intervention and the research questions they propose to answer through an implementation research partnership. They should also describe their organisation's capacity to contribute to the implementation research (beyond doing the implementation itself) through, for example, data collection, ongoing monitoring, complementary research efforts, in-house research or Monitoring and Evaluation capacity, etc. This should include the amount of funding they would need to support their component of the implementation research.

description:
EdTech Hub is a global non-profit research partnership supported by the UK Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office, the World Bank, the Gates Foundation, UNICEF, Canada's International Development Research Centre, and others. Our goal is to empower people making decisions about technology in education in LMICs. Technology has the potential to help address the global learning crisis, but that potential is not being realised. Policy makers and other decision makers face an overwhelming choice of technology solutions, are unclear on what works and what doesn't and are forced to make decisions based on low- or no-evidence. Further information about the Hub is available at https://edtechhub.org/
To further expand available evidence on the use of EdTech to support the most marginalised, the Hub will be launching a round of implementation research partnerships focusing on new thematic areas. These areas include: Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND), education in emergencies, and education resilience against climate change.
Implementation research examines how interventions-policies, programs, or practices-are carried into effect. While established in fields like healthcare and poverty alleviation, it remains underexplored in EdTech, particularly in LMICs. This approach generates evidence in real-time, enhances scalability, and prioritizes sustainability, distinguishing itself from evaluation or design-based research.

Purpose & Strategic Alignment:
The UK has a legal and constitutional responsibility for its Overseas Territories.  Whilst the territories are largely self-governing, the UK retains ultimate responsibility for security including law and order.  The UK is required to step in either (a) when invited to do so by the local government; and/or (b) when the local government’s law enforcement is visibly overwhelmed.
The objective is to have a flexible call-down facility with up to five suppliers to allow UK qualified investigatory or other specialist law-enforcement expertise to be sourced and deployed quickly and compliantly.  These requirements will be subject to mini-competitions under the framework testing both price/vfm and quality/technical merit. Additional information: Full details regarding this Expression of Interest are published on the Authority's eSourcing portal: https://fcdo.bravosolution.co.uk (requires registration which is free and instantaneous), then navigate to Project 10300 / PQQ 1778.
