Description
The Council has a legal responsibility to assess the needs of any resident or Carer living in the borough who appears to have a need for care and support; and to then determine whether those needs are eligible for this provision from the Council, as stipulated in The Care Act (2014) and The Children and Families Act (2014).
Home Care is one of the main care and support options provided to meet eligible needs - to enable residents to maintain their independence and quality of life in their own home. Home Care may include domestic support (i.e. cleaning) where a resident is unable to do this themselves.
The Council has recently embarked on an ambitious programme of work to transform its Home Care offer; and wishes to work with the local market to develop its thinking prior to procuring a new all-age Independent Living Support Service.
Commissioners will be holding a market engagement event for providers to share their thinking; and obtain providers' views. This feedback will be used to shape the procurement strategy and creation of the procurement documentation.
The event is open to any providers with relevant experience of providing professional cleaning. It will be held on Tuesday 10 September at 11 - 13:30 at East Ham Library - 328 Barking Rd, London E6 2RT. The session will conclude with an overview of the procurement process and a high level timeline.
