What the notice says
The primary objective of this project is to procure domiciliary (home care) services that meet the eligible needs of residents under the Care Act 2014. The procurement will enable residents to exercise greater choice and control over their care and support arrangements, helping them to achieve their desired outcomes and maintain their independence. The contract will also deliver wider community benefits by generating social value and providing opportunities for suppliers to work collaboratively with the Council. Benefits include achieving best value, creating employment opportunities for local residents, supporting the development and sustainability of the local care market, and contributing to the local economy. The proposed procurement approach is a competitive flexible procedure comprised of an SQ stage to shortlist participants, followed by an ITT stage, for a contract with an initial term of three years, with options for extension. The domiciliary care market is vibrant, competitive, and well-established, with a diverse range of providers operating locally and nationally
