Lot Division
| 1 | Level 1 Requirement These areas have significant levels of demand and reflect around 85 % of the Council’s business. Two providers (one Primary, one Secondary) are sought in each Area in order to enable contingency in these high-volume areas, whilst providing volumes to enable sustainable business models. Demand that cannot be met by the primary or secondary provider will be met by the Reserve Providers for that area. |
| 2 | Level 2 Requirement These areas have less demand and reflect around 13 % of the Council’s business. Historically they can be more challenging areas to sustain business within. A minimum guarantee of block hours will be offered in these areas to enable providers to be assured of a level of business to support sustainability and continuity for customers. Demand that cannot be met by the Primary provider will be met by the Reserve Providers for that area. |
| 3 | Level 3 Requirement These areas present a significant proportion of the geography of the County; however demand represents only around 2 % of the Council’s Council Managed Budget business. Services required in these areas will be sought from the reserve list of providers for each Area. Should providers be able to offer services to out of county customers this should be identified by selecting the ‘Out of County’ Area in Lot 3. |
| 4 | Level 4 Requirement The Council will appoint providers that can offer Live-In service provision to a reserve list. Should providers be able to offer live-in service provision this should be identified within the reserve list. |

Other Information
West Sussex County Council has decided to abandon this procurement as the pandemic has significantly impacted on the Council’s provision of social care services and the long term impact of the pandemic on social care provision is far from clear, as such the Council consider that this would be the wrong time to enter into long term arrangements with providers, based on a commissioning model which was designed pre-pandemic and appears no longer to meet the Council’s needs and finances more generally.
