two.1.4) Short description
Home care is a key component of Islington’s Adult Social Care vision to support residents to live healthy, fulfilling and independent lives; maximising independence and connecting them with their community, ensuring equality and fairness throughout.
Home Care, also known as Domiciliary Care, covers a wide range of activities, including but not limited to, personal care; reablement; support with medication and household tasks to support people with long-term care needs in the community. Residents may require these services for a short period to recover from illness or injury for example, or for a longer period to allow them to remain safe, independent and living in their own home.
Our ambitions for Home Care centres around four key areas:
• Improving outcomes for residents through a personalised, strengths-based approach that maximises wellbeing and independence for all
• Ensuring capacity within high quality provision able to meet diverse needs and fluctuations in demand
• Driving a more inclusive economy through fair pay and good conditions for the care workforce; and community wealth building
• Delivering greater value for money by better managing demand, preventing or delaying escalation of need
To enable an integrated approach to home care, through locality-based provision the borough will be divided three localities: North, South and Central.
As the value of the contract is above the threshold for wider advertising of the opportunity, a Contract Notice will be published on Contracts Finder and Find a Tender (FTS).
This procurement is being conducted in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (the PCR). The procurement is subject to the ‘light-touch regime’ under Section 7 Social and Other Specific Services of Part 2 of the PCR. Under Regulation 76 the Council is free to establish a procedure, provided that the procedure is sufficient to ensure compliance with the principles of transparency and equal treatment of economic operators (service providers) and is initiated by a contract notice. The Council has utilised the flexibility allowed under the ‘light-touch regime’ to design a process that will ensure a robust assessment of providers prior to being appointed to the framework agreement, and to allow flexibility around procedures for placement of individual service users. The procedure the Council has designed is based on the open procedure.
