Description

Warwickshire County Council (the Authority) is seeking to re-commission its contracts for care home placements. At the same time NHS South Warwickshire Clinical Commissioning Group and NHS Warwickshire North Clinical Commissioning Group (the CCG's) are also seeking to re-commission their care home provision following conclusion of their previous framework.

The Authority will be acting as lead commissioner in this procedure.

This tender is for all care home services for older people and adults with support needs which includes (but is not limited to):
- Residential and nursing;
- Physical disabilities;
- Learning disabilities and/or autism;
- Mental health needs;
- Dementia;
- Sensory impairment;
- Acquired brain injury;
- Cognitive impairment;
- Continuing healthcare.

Joint commissioning provides the Authority and the CCG's with an opportunity to work together to move towards greater integration of health and social care services. By combining our requirements through this process we can put in place new contracts that have a joint specification and allow customers in receipt of services to receive a consistent standard of quality and care, regardless of who is funding their service. Providers will be informed in advance of any changes to the specification or duties they are required to perform.

The new contracts are for the provision of care home services within the County Council boundaries of Warwickshire County Council, or where the customer is a patient of the Clinical Commissioning Group then the location where they live, which is generally within a reasonable distance of the boundaries.

Coventry City Council and NHS Coventry and Rugby Clinical Commissioning Group intend to re-commission their care home services through separate arrangements. However it is possible that they may access care home services through these contracts in the future.
