two.1.4) Short description

The Council requires a Managed Service for the Completion of Social Care Reviews (the

Review); these will predominantly be reviews 6-8 week post care package commencement,

although it is envisaged that the Provider may be required to undertake other reviews, at

different timeframes. Reviews will be undertaken to a standard which is Care Act 2014

compliant. This may be the first opportunity to review a newly implemented package of

support.

Reviews must be undertaken to align with the Council’s ambition to support people to

maximise their independence in their own homes, through an approach which builds on their

strengths, and which identifies and utilises community support which is available in their

locality.

The Review allows opportunity for a review of outcomes, both in terms of the service offer to

sustain and support people to live as independently as possible, and to make the most

effective use of what can be provided locally to support people’s independence, where that

is appropriate.

This procurement is conducted under the OPEN PROCEDURE.
