The initial maximum hourly rate of £15.16 for the service has been set by the Council which will be reviewed annually in April of each year. Where appropriate, rates will be increased using a Fee Rate Escalator. Details of the Fee Rate Escalator are contained in the Procurement Documents.
Providers will be required to provide a high quality service that aligns with the Council's vision for Adult Social Care and whilst participating in the further implementation of the personalisation agenda, giving citizens greater choice and control in this process.
