Care in the Community Pseudo Dynamic Purchasing System

Pseudo Dynamic Purchasing System (PDPS) for Care in the Community, consisting of:

Homecare - Homecare is considered any care and support a person might require in their own home, including preparing meals, taking their medication, and attending their personal care needs.

Supported Living - Supported Living is typically defined as housing where support and or care services are provided to help people live as independently as possible, and is usually commissioned for individuals with learning disability, neurodiversity or mental health needs.

Extra care housing (ECH) - Extra Care Housing (EHC) are specialist housing schemes for older people that have been specifically designed to maximise independence. All tenants have their own apartment with a front door and yet also benefit from the availability of the 24/7 onsite care and support service.

The PDPS is split into the following Lots:

Lot 1 - Homecare, Standard; Lot 2 - Homecare, Complex; Lot 3 - Supported Living, Standard; Lot 4 - Supported Living, Complex; Lot 5 - Extra Care Housing; Lot 6 - Specialist Community Support

These services are captured by Schedule 3 of the Public Contract Regulations 2015, making this a Light Touch Regime procurement.
