Description
Solihull MBC is seeking to create a framework of providers in respect to Care at Home and Sitting Services in in the borough Solihull.
This contract opportunity is split into TWO lots. Bidders may apply for either or both lots.
Lot 1 - Long Term Care at Home
Lot 2 - Sitting Services
Long Term Care at Home (Lot 1) and Sitting Services (Lot 2) aim to allow people who use the service to live as independently as possible in their own homes and to sign-post people to other services where needed. The service provided should help to delay and reduce the need for additional long term care through a focus on promoting wellbeing and independence. It should safeguard adults, protecting them from avoidable harm. Care and support should be delivered in line with the person's wishes, as best as it can be. The care and support delivered should meet the person's cultural needs and maintain their dignity and respect.
Sitting Services (Lot 2) are required when a carer needs a break, but replacement care is required to look after their loved one in their own home.
The expected outputs of the Service are that the chosen Providers will:
Respond to all appropriate referrals in their prescribed zone
Support individuals in line with their care and support plan and how they wish to be supported
Support individuals to maintain and maximise independence as far as possible
Deliver safe, quality and compliant care and support to individuals
Deliver care and companionship to a person in their own home whilst their carer is having a break or attending appointments (Lot 2 only).
The tender will be let under 'Light Touch' arrangements under the EU Procurement Directives and implemented in English Law in the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR 2015).
