Home Care Services

• Value: £37M

The current provision of the Services is delivered by a number of service providers who bid for individual packages of care via a Dynamic Purchasing System (“DPS”). The Council is intending to replace the DPS with a new model of service delivery through this procurement process. The new model will see the Services being delivered by way of eleven (11) placed-based alliances. Each Alliance will be formed of a number of service providers who will collaborate together to optimise the delivery of the Services in a specific Geographical Zone. Each Alliance will be led by a Strategic Provider who will manage the performance of the Services, administer the Alliance, coordinate capacity optimisation activity and act as an Operational Provider of Last Resort (see the Strategic Provider Specification for more details), and multiple Individual Providers who will directly deliver Home Care services. The principal aim of the Services is to ensure people have access to the right care, in the right place, at the right time and enabling them to stay well, safe and independent at home for longer. The Services will address the needs of older people and people with physical disabilities who require assistance with their personal care, daily living activities and accessing the community. They may also be used by people with learning disabilities, autism, mental health support needs, sensory loss and other conditions where this type of provision best meets their individual needs. The Services will include: • regulated ‘personal care’ tasks including but not limited to getting in and out of bed, washing and dressing, going to the toilet and taking medication; • non-regulated tasks including shopping, cleaning, going out into the community and other activities that enable the Person to meet their assessed social care needs, usually in exceptional circumstances; • night-time care, which may be used to meet a Person’s needs in exceptional circumstances to prevent use of a residential care placements; • clustering of home care services in specific locations, for example in a sheltered housing scheme, to enhance the offer available to people living in these settings and to optimise the available capacity; and • Alliance Providers working collaboratively in each Geographical Zone to optimise service delivery and support each other with market fragility including prevention and management of local provider failure. The procurement is divided into eleven (11) Lots which are aligned to eleven (11) Geographical Zones. Lot 1 covers the geographical zone of Penwith which includes the following postcodes: TR17 0, TR18 2, TR18 3, TR18 4, TR18 4, TR18 5, TR19 6, TR19 7, TR20 8, TR20 9, TR26 1, TR26 2, TR26 3, TR27 4, TR27 5, TR27 6. The Council intends for the Contract for each Lot to commence in October 2024, for a maximum term of eight (8) years. This is broken down as follows: • an initial period of three (3) years commencing in October 2024; and • an option for the Council to extend the term by a further three (3) years; and • following the exercise of the first option, an option for the Council to extend the term by a further two (2) years. Any extension of the term is at the sole discretion of the Council and the maximum term of the Contract will not exceed eight (8) years. The Council intends to appoint one Alliance per Lot. In order to participate in this procurement process, providers must form Alliances and submit a composite Tender Response via the Portal. To be clear, a Tender Response from an Individual Provider or a Strategic Provider acting alone will not be considered. Any Individual Provider or Strategic Provider who wishes to take part in this procurement can only do so if it bids as part of an Alliance.

The current provision of the Services is delivered by a number of service providers who bid for individual packages of care via a Dynamic Purchasing System (“DPS”). The Council is intending to replace the DPS with a new model of service delivery through this procurement process. The new model will see the Services being delivered by way of eleven (11) placed-based alliances. Each Alliance will be formed of a number of service providers who will collaborate together to optimise the delivery of the Services in a specific Geographical Zone. Each Alliance will be led by a Strategic Provider who will manage the performance of the Services, administer the Alliance, coordinate capacity optimisation activity and act as an Operational Provider of Last Resort (see the Strategic Provider Specification for more details), and multiple Individual Providers who will directly deliver Home Care services. The principal aim of the Services is to ensure people have access to the right care, in the right place, at the right time and enabling them to stay well, safe and independent at home for longer. The Services will address the needs of older people and people with physical disabilities who require assistance with their personal care, daily living activities and accessing the community. They may also be used by people with learning disabilities, autism, mental health support needs, sensory loss and other conditions where this type of provision best meets their individual needs. The Services will include: • regulated ‘personal care’ tasks including but not limited to getting in and out of bed, washing and dressing, going to the toilet and taking medication; • non-regulated tasks including shopping, cleaning, going out into the community and other activities that enable the Person to meet their assessed social care needs, usually in exceptional circumstances; • night-time care, which may be used to meet a Person’s needs in exceptional circumstances to prevent use of a residential care placements; • clustering of home care services in specific locations, for example in a sheltered housing scheme, to enhance the offer available to people living in these settings and to optimise the available capacity; and • Alliance Providers working collaboratively in each Geographical Zone to optimise service delivery and support each other with market fragility including prevention and management of local provider failure. The procurement is divided into eleven (11) Lots which are aligned to eleven (11) Geographical Zones. Lot 9 covers the geographical zone of Liskeard, Looe, Rame and Peninsula which includes the following postcodes: PL10 1, PL11 2, PL11 3, PL13 1, PL13 2, PL14 3, PL14 4, PL14 5, PL14 6. The Council intends for the Contract for each Lot to commence in October 2024, for a maximum term of eight (8) years. This is broken down as follows: • an initial period of three (3) years commencing in October 2024; and • an option for the Council to extend the term by a further three (3) years; and • following the exercise of the first option, an option for the Council to extend the term by a further two (2) years. Any extension of the term is at the sole discretion of the Council and the maximum term of the Contract will not exceed eight (8) years. The Council intends to appoint one Alliance per Lot. In order to participate in this procurement process, providers must form Alliances and submit a composite Tender Response via the Portal. To be clear, a Tender Response from an Individual Provider or a Strategic Provider acting alone will not be considered.
