AC1710_The Good Lives Alliance GLA 2023 DPS

Wiltshire Council is seeking to establish a Good Lives Alliance GLA2023 from which the Council and Integrated Care Board (ICB) can purchase Specialist Services for people with a learning disability or a mental health illness; Supported Living, Short Term Transitional Services and Residential and Nursing Care. The Good Lives Alliance GLA 2023 will be created by establishing a Pseudo Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to procure these services which fall within the light-touch regime (LTR - PCR 2015 Regulations 74-77). The Pseudo DPS will in many respects look and feel like a DPS set up under PCR 2015 Regulation 34, but the flexibility of the LTR will apply. None of the formal procedural rules have any direct application including the requirements of Regulation 34. Wiltshire Council makes this distinction to avoid implying that it will follow, or be bound by, the full procurement regime under PCR 2015 for this procurement.
