Report ACH19015

The framework contract for multiple Domiciliary Care services was due to expire on 27^th August 2021 with no further extension options remaining. The framework contracts had an estimated annual value of £13.4m with estimated spend over the life of the contracts of approximately £112m.

The Executive had agreed a service model on 11^th July 2018 incorporating opportunities for more efficient and effective services taking into account the current and emerging changes in provider markets, technology, outcome-based services and enabling approaches, all of which would support a model giving more choice and control to service users, their families and personal support networks. The current report set out a proposed procurement strategy. 

The report had been scrutinised by the Adult Care and Health PDS Committee on 19^th November 2019, and the Committee had supported the recommendations.

RESOLVED that proceeding to procurement be approved as detailed in paragraph 4.3 and section 6 of the report for -

(a) a multiple lot tender based on a “patch” based model for contracts commencing 28^th August 2021 for a five year period with the option to extend for up to three years; and

(b) a domiciliary care Framework on a call off basis with contracts commencing 28 August 2021 for a four year period.

The combined total value of both contract arrangements is estimated at £13.4m per annum; the value of individual contracts across the lots and the Framework will be variable.
