Description

Devon County Council is interested in procuring a number of small block contract arrangements for Personal Care in particular locations within Devon.

There has been an increase in community social care demand and even though market sufficiency has increased there hasn't been enough increase to meet demand.

Data has been reviewed to identify the locations and volumes of the block contracts required, with a sharper focus on electoral wards including run groupings and postcode breakdowns.

The proposed block contracts will have the following features:
• To provide the regulated activity 'personal care' in the individuals own home. This may include double handed care packages.
• The block contract will take precedence for new care packages to be referred via our Arranging Support Teams
• It is expected that packages of care commissioned through the short-term block contract vehicle will pass to a provider's core-business on the personal care standard banded rate contract upon termination of the block contract arrangement.
• The block volume will be paid at DCC's existing banded rates of £22.28 or £24.72 depending on the area the block covers.
• Each individual contract will run for three months from the date of its agreed start date.

Not in scope: Night sleep & waking night support is not in scope of this contract.

As a Key quality requirement, the Provider MUST have an overall CQC quality rating of Requires Improvement or above. Providers with any key line of enquiry currently rated as Inadequate by the CQC will not be eligible.
