Creation of a Dynamic Purchasing System for the Provision of Domiciliary Care
The services concerned fall under Schedule 3 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (“the Regulations”) and accordingly are subject to the so called ‘Light Touch Regime’ which means that when procuring these Services the Council should comply with the mandatory requirements set out in the Light Touch Regime (Regulations 74-77). Under Regulation 76, the council is free to establish a procedure, provided that, the procedure is sufficient to ensure compliance with the principles of transparency and equal treatment of economic operators (suppliers). Regulation 34 of the Public Contracts Regulation 2015 expressly provides that contracting authorities may use a dynamic purchasing system for commonly used purchases the characteristics of which are generally available on the market, and meet their requirements and for this reason the model proposed, is a Dynamic Purchasing System.
