The tender seeks to create an open provider list for Break Time, Home Care and Short Breaks Services for children and young people with disabilities across Lancashire. The Authority intends to secure a range of providers capable of delivering group‑based leisure and therapeutic activities for children with an unassessed or assessed need, as well as dedicated day‑time personal care, overnight respite and intensive positive behaviour support. The services are designed to give primary carers regular and restorative breaks, enabling them to continue or improve their care for their child, thereby supporting statutory duties to provide a full spectrum of short‑break options for SEND users.

The provider list will be divided into six distinct lots: (1) Break Time and Break Time Plus activities; (2) Day‑time short breaks and personal care; (3) 1:1 or 2:1 community‑based support; (4) Day‑time personal care in the home; (5) Overnight short‑breaks available throughout the year; and (6) Intensive positive behaviour support for children with complex needs. Each lot will be commissioned through a call‑off process and may be awarded on an annual block‑booking basis or requested when assessed need arises. Providers must meet the Service Specifications outlined in the Provider List Agreement and comply with the relevant health and safety regulations.

The tender invites organisations to supply a 60‑month service and maintenance programme for ground source and air source heat pumps in domestic and commercial settings. The programme will be accessible to all current and future Clients of Procurement Assist, including NHS trusts, social housing providers, local authorities, blue‑light services, educational institutions and charities. Clients may tailor the service package by selecting one or more of three defined categories: air‑source only, ground‑source only or a combined ground‑and‑air service.

Under each category the provider is required to deliver a broad range of activities, including routine servicing, general maintenance and remedial repairs, as well as any additional support needed to keep the heat pump systems operating at peak efficiency. The procurement seeks qualified professionals who can work across diverse property types and adapt to the specific demands of each client’s heating infrastructure. The programme will be reviewed annually and may be extended or amended to meet evolving requirements.

Providers must be qualified under the relevant industry standards for servicing air and ground source heat pumps.

The tender invites qualified service providers to secure a place on a sixty‑month Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Business Administration. The DPS will support the Integrated Facilities Management Bolton Ltd. (iFM Bolton) and other UK public sector clients, providing a streamlined procurement route that bypasses the usual Open Justice and European Union procurement procedures. Applications may be submitted at any time during the extended 30‑day initial period and remain valid until 31 May 2029, when the DPS will be reviewed annually for potential amendment, extension, or termination.

Participants will supply a full range of goods across four distinct categories. Category 1 covers stationery supplies delivered to client sites; Category 2 involves janitorial supplies; Category 3 supplies workwear and personal protective equipment; and Category 4 offers a combined, strategic office solution that may incorporate any of the three preceding categories. Each category requires a core range of products reviewed annually to ensure value for money, and providers must supply an online ordering system customized to the client’s product catalogue and branding. The contract is renewable and subject to yearly review, with no option or variant structure allowed.

All supplied goods must meet applicable UK health and safety regulations and be deliverable to multiple sites in accordance with iFM Bolton’s logistical requirements.

The Dynamic Purchasing System for Employment and Health Related Test and Learn Provision has been established by the Department for Work and Pensions to acquire social and other employment and health‑related services across England, Scotland and Wales. The DPS serves as a lightweight, open‑ended procurement platform that enables organisations—particularly ones capable of delivering innovative or specialised approaches—to design, piloting and evaluate proof‑of‑concept projects that support evidence‑based national and local service delivery. Although no future business is guaranteed, the system is expected to generate a limited number of test and learn contracts over its duration, with an anticipated cumulative value of approximately £20 million.

Recent revisions to the core terms and call‑off schedules, taking effect on 8 February 2024, include the removal of European Union references, an updated security call‑off timetable, revised data‑processing provisions, the introduction of an optional staff‑transfer call‑off schedule, and a change in the signature sequencing to have the buyer sign the award form second. Financial standing is now assessed in greater detail at the call‑off competition stage rather than at admission. The nominal end date for the DPS is 30 September 2026, with the possibility of further extension, and may be terminated by the DWP with twenty working days’ notice.

Compliance is required with the updated security and data‑processing provisions and with the optional staff‑transfer call‑off schedule.
