Description

Cumberland Council is advertising an Open Framework for providers to deliver Homecare Services, for the delivery of personal care tasks in people's own homes on a 24/7 basis for people over 18. These services are regulated by the Care Quality Commission under The Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014, on a 24/7 basis for people over 18. There are two lots - Lot 1 - Standard Homecare Services / Lot 2 - Bespoke / Non Standard Homecare Services. \r
\r
The Council proposes to enter in to the Framework Agreement for an initial period of 48 months with the successful providers. There are TWO optional extensions available of up to 12 months each. The maximum length of the Framework Agreement, including the optional extensions is 72 months. These optional extensions are at the complete discretion of the Council. The end date of 31st March 2030 includes the two optional extensions. If these extensions are not used, the Framework will end on 31st March 2028. \r
\r
In addition to Cumberland Council (the contracting authority), the NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board (the ICB) is a potential user of this Framework and they may purchase homecare services, subject to the ICB signing a Framework Access Agreement. \r
\r
The estimated total value of the Framework for the 4-year initial term is £128.144m excluding VAT. The estimated total value for the initial term plus the two 12 months optional extensions is £213.038m excluding VAT. These estimated totals are based upon the maximum spend by Cumberland Council and the ICB accessing the Framework from Day 1. The Cumberland Council potential spend on Homecare Services over the full 6-year term is estimated to be £133.882m. Details of current expenditure are indicative only. The Council does not guarantee any spend against this Framework Agreement. \r
