The notice involves a public contract

Greater Huddersfield Clinical Commissioning Group (GHCCG) and North Kirklees Clinical Commissioning Group (NKCCG) have embarked on a collaborative project to jointly commission Care Closer to Home Health Care services across Kirklees.
The commissioning of community health care services across Kirklees will enable services to be designed to enable the development of outcome focused service specifications and greater transparency of quality standards and performance management against these targets.
The Care Closer to Home strategic cases set out the vision for the development of integrated services in Greater Huddersfield, North Kirklees and combined across Kirklees as a whole. Improving the patient’s experience, supporting self-management and integrating health and social care is the main priority for the CCGs and their partner commissioners.
Work has been undertaken to redesign community health services across the entire system; this will enable excellent quality, cost effective care to delivered in peoples own homes wherever possible thus avoiding expensive and unsettling acute admissions to hospitals, nursing homes and other inpatient facilities whenever it is safe to do so.
Each CCG has set out its vision in relation to the future of community health services locally and it is the intention that the visions will develop both dynamically and pragmatically during the lifetime of the contract.
The models developed by GHCCG and NKCCG summarise the benefits that patients and careers will see as a result of the changes and how these changes will impact upon emergency attendances and hospital admissions.
The key underpinning element is to ensure joined up services for the benefits of the patients. This supports the National direction of travel which is driving integration both in the commissioning provision and of health and social care, the introduction of the Better Care Fund being an enabler to support this work.
The vision of GHCCG and NKCCG is to commission health services to ensure primary, community and social care can provide the right care in the right place, first time, by staff who have the competencies and skills to meet the needs of patients/clients which complement and work together with acute services.
People will receive care which is more timely and organised to meet their specific needs. The services they need will be coordinated across providers where necessary; ensuring care is coordinated and seamless as one coherent package with a focus on helping recovery and promoting independence.
In order to achieve the vision outlined by the CCGs through innovation and partnership working the CCGs are seeking to implement a Prime/Lead provider model where the contract will be held with one prime/lead provider or consortium who will work in partnership and collaboration with other providers to deliver the required outcomes for Care Closer To Home. This model will also open up opportunities for new and evolving organisations including but not exclusively, Small and Medium Enterprises (SME’s), Voluntary and Third Sector organisations and Primary Care to work in partnership with the prime/lead provider.
In order to facilitate the opportunities for the providers outlined above a market engagement day will be held on 6.11.2014 to enable potential sub-contractors and prime contracts to network and seek opportunities in relation to future partnerships. Further details in relation to the provider event will be provided on confirmation of attendance as per the instructions outlined within the MOI.

The structure of the procurement will be based on a three lot approach whereby the contract will be either awarded to one provider across the two CCGs to provide the entire requirement or to two providers with one contract for each CCG. Further details in relation to the Lots structure are included within the Overarching Specification document D2 and Memorandum of Information document D1 uploaded to the e-sourcing portalwww.nhssourcing.co.uk

The individual CCG high level outline specifications contain details in relation to the models of delivery and vision of each of the CCGs. All services included in the ‘in scope’ section of the service specification will be included within the procurement for North Kirklees CCG and will form part of the contract from the date of commencement.
However, it is the intention of Greater Huddersfield to stage the implementation of the contract into two phases as the CCGs recognise that the development of their care closer to home model will be an evolving programme of work over a contract period of up to 7 years, with an initial scope of services being provided at the commencement of the new contract having an estimated value of up to 20 m GBP per year (Phase 1).
Potential bidders should note that it is fully expected that the scope of services will expand over the contract period, the precise range of services that will be covered by the model although not yet fully defined could encompass, by the end of the contract period, a further 20 m GBP per year (Phase 2) and that this potential expansion will be covered within the scope of this procurement process and outlined further through the competitive dialogue process.
The contract will be for 5 years with the potential to extend for two years and it is envisaged that it will commence on the 1.10.2015 with either one operator or two depending on the outcome of the procurement following the evaluation of the most economically advantageous solution.

Information and formalities necessary for evaluating if the requirements are met: 1) Y&H CSU utilises the Government Procurement Service Supplier Information Database (sid4gov) to manage and assess general pre-qualification information in the form of a profile.
sid4gov has been developed by Government Procurement Service, in partnership with NQC, following agile development principles to provide a replacement for sid4health in the first phase, with subsequent developments planned to improve the scope of the questions, scope of user access and integration with other eEnabled applications. The future vision is to create a single supplier registration portal that will provide one place for suppliers to register and provide information for procurement in support of management information requirements and responses to tenders across the public sector. This portal will also provide public sector buyers with a single place to access supplier related information in support of market engagement and procurement processes.
Candidates are requested to provide their profile in sid4gov.
In order to access sid4gov for the first time, you will need to register, providing your individual and organisation details including the relevant DUNs number. The use of a DUNs number is mandated for registration and will support identification of suppliers across all eEnablement applications. This will help government to improve data quality throughout procurement and is a key enabler of the policy for transparency. It will also assist in the future development as we integrate across other applications in support of a single registration process. There is no cost to suppliers in registering for sid4gov or getting a DUNs number.
Candidates should ensure all the mandatory fields of their sid4gov profile are completed. Failure to comply with the completion of all mandatory fields could result in the elimination from the procurement process. Please note D&B data will be supplied automatically by D&B.
Candidates must publish at least one validated profile to make their profile available for buyers to view generally.
