COV - Emergency Short Term Home Support services in response to the COVID- 19 Pandemic (Framework)

The Commissioner (Coventry City Council and NHS Coventry and Warwickshire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG)) is re-opening the Framework for emergency cover for short term home support services for adults across the City.

The Service will bolster existing contracted provision, which is already in place with 3 contracted Providers. This requirement is as a direct result of COVID-19, where it has been identified that additional capacity will be needed to ensure services can be delivered to vulnerable service users. The service is primarily to support hospital discharge.

The Council considers this to be a state of urgency which it has duly substantiated. Accordingly, accelerated time limits, as permitted under the Public Contract Regulations 2015, and as permissible under the Light Touch Regime, are used in respect of this procurement. This will support with the on-going COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of the new Omicron strain.

The Framework is re-opened with the expectation that new Providers will join this Framework January 2022, until expiry - 31st March 2023.

CSW-JETS is a sub-regional e-tendering portal run by In-tend. Since February 2010, Coventry; Solihull; Warwickshire; Nuneaton and Bedworth; Rugby alongside other local district Councils have been working together as a shared procurement service. In conjunction with Solihull Community Housing, we have joined together to bring you a collaborative E-Tendering portal.

CSW-JETS enables us to advertise our opportunities across all authorities through the same system. This means that there is a single point of contact for procurement in the sub-region so you only have to register once to receive notifications for all authorities. Registering on the portal will make it easier for local suppliers to find, respond to and be alerted to tender opportunities.

Registration is free, and takes just a few minutes. When complete, you will be able to express interest in any of the Councils'/Authorities' opportunities when they are made available including this tender. In addition, we will be able to access your details whenever we have a requirement, and you may then be invited to tender or quote for work.

Once you are registered and log in to the system you will be able to locate the tender opportunity, express interest and access the documentation.
