About

Dorset Council’s Adults and Housing Directorate is seeking providers to join a new up-to-10-year Framework to deliver high-quality, personalised care, support, housing and community safety services using a strengths-based approach, replacing existing frameworks. The Framework will be established under the Light Touch Regime (Public Contract Regulations 2015) and will operate in two stages: Part I requires providers to meet minimum entry criteria for specific lots, and Part II will use further competitions with quality/price evaluation for specific call-offs (anticipated to commence from April 2022). The Framework will remain open for providers to apply at any time, support a variety of procurement methods (including brokerage of individual packages, fixed-term block contracts and Individual Service Funds), enable expansion of geographical reach and support service users with Direct Payments or Personal Health Budgets; providers previously unsuccessful may reapply unless previously removed for contract non-compliance.
