Description
Leicester City Council working with Leicester City NHS Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) invites Tenders for the provision of Domiciliary Support Service 2019 LOT 1 - General Domiciliary Support in Leicester City.
The Authority wishes to ensure that its procurement opportunities are open to small and micro local enterprises and voluntary and community sector organisations as it appreciates the very important role they play in the local economy. Tenders from these organisations are particularly welcomed. The Authority encourages consortium or sub-contracting arrangements for this procurement opportunity
The provision of Domiciliary Support Service 2019 LOT 1 - General Domiciliary Support in Leicester City is an Open Framework Agreement and in this present context, it is a list of assessed and approved providers.
A current list of providers (20) is already in place, this further opening of the framework is due to reduction in the current providers of Lot 1 - General Domiciliary Support Service and to grow this list of providers from 20to 28 that the commissioner can work with (please note that the new 8 providers rank will be from 21 to 28).
The Authority, under The Care Act (2014), has a statutory duty to undertake an assessment of a Service User's need for care & support, and then to decide whether the service user's needs call for the provision of any domiciliary support service, and if so, by whom.
The CCG is required to fulfil the NHS statutory obligations under the national framework for NHS funded Continuing Health Care (CHC) and NHS funded nursing care (FNC) for adults aged over 18 who have been assessed as eligible for 100% or joint funded care.
The proposed Contract will be for an initial period of 3 years to commence on 10 June 2019 with an option to extend, subject to satisfactory performance outcomes and agreement by the Authority, for a further period up to1+1 year, taking the contract term to a maximum of five years.
The proposed service is based on current and known funding allocations. These could alter through the life of the contract in light of changes in future local and central government funding. The contract value assigned to this service is £17 million per annum. The total contract period value is £85 Million (£17 million x 5 year = £85million).
