Description

Southend-on-Sea Borough Council invites expressions of interest from suitably
experienced and qualified service providers capable of providing high quality
Care and Support at Home services for individuals throughout the borough.

This contract will be split into 5 lots:

Lot 1 - Care and Support at Home (four Locality contracts)
Lot 2 - Home Again Service
Lot 3 - Community Support
Lot 4 - Spot Provider Framework
Lot 5 - Complex Needs Framework

Providers can apply for one or more of the Lot 1 Locality area, however, it is
our preference that a single Provider will only be awarded up to a maximum of
one Locality lot.
It is therefore intended that the contract be awarded to multiple providers,
depending on submissions received.

Successful organisations must have a comprehensive understanding of Care and
Support at Home and a proven track record of liaising and supporting vulnerable
people.

The contract term for Lots 1-3 will run for 5 years from 1st May 2017 - 30th
April 2022 with an option to extend for up to five additional periods of up to
12 months, or any part thereof. The latest expiry date of the contract will be
30th April 2027.

The contract term for Framework Lots 4 and 5 will run for 4 years from 1st May
2017 - 30th April 2021.
Southend-on-Sea Borough Council welcomes submissions from all organisational
types, including the Third Sector and Charitable Trusts.

The estimated annual contract value will be capped at a maximum of no more than
£12,000,000 for 2017/18.
