Group B (Lots 6-12): Adults' Home Care - Secondary Provider (Core services); and; 3. Group C (Lots 13-15): Adults' Home Care - Specialist services. The Council is therefore seeking to award fifteen (15) cost and volume contracts to successful bidders as part of this Procurement and it is anticipated that the contracts will be fully operational by 2 November 2026 (this may be subject to change) and will continue for a period of four (4) years from that date with an option to extend, at the Council's discretion, for up to four (4) years (two (2) years plus two (2) years) unless terminated in accordance with the Terms and Conditions of the Contract.

The Council is seeking to award a single Contract to the successful bidder as part of this Procurement and it is anticipated that the Contract will be fully operational by 2 November 2026 (this may be subject to change) and will continue for a period of four (4) years from that date with an option to extend, at the Council's discretion, for up to four (4) years (two (2) years plus two (2) years) unless terminated in accordance with the Terms and Conditions of the Contract. The estimated total contract value for this procurement is £13.6m. Due to the short-term nature of Reablement and to support continuity for residents, it is expected that, at contract commencement, most existing packages will not transfer to the successful Supplier and will remain with the incumbent provider until the closure of the package. However, during mobilisation the Council will conduct a review of existing packages to determine whether any packages are appropriate for transfer. It is possible therefore that some existing packages could be transferred if the new provider is willing to accept them. Transfer of existing care packages are therefore potentially within the scope of this Procurement but the contract value expressed above are calculated based on current care packages.

This exemption allowed the Council to directly procure Veolia for the provision of heat supply services not included in the Project Agreement, which had subsequently become necessary due to unforeseen reasons. The HSA1 was entered into on 14 June 2013 and a related contract award notice was published on 3rd August 2013 (OJEU Reference Number: 2013/S 150-261592 ).
