What the notice says

Herefordshire Council will be running Market Engagement events for all businesses interested in delivering home care services, called Care In Your Home (CIYH) Partnership. Herefordshire Council has a statutory duty, under the Care Act 2014, to provide home care services for residents with assessed eligible needs, in order to enable them to remain safe and independent in their own homes for longer, reducing or delaying the need for more formal health and social care services. This engagement follows on from our provider sessions in June, July and August, as we continue to develop the CIYH model. The two engagement sessions will be hosted by Hilary Hall (Corporate Director Community Wellbeing) and Jeanette Young (Service Director All Age Commissioning). The sessions will be your opportunity to further discuss the CIYH Partnership and: • Hear how your feedback has continued to help shape the proposed CIYH model • Understand the final direction of travel • Review the next steps and procurement timeline • Raise any additional questions before the tender is published.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
