two.2.4) Description of the procurement

Our ambition for 2030 is to create a more equal future for Islington, where everyone who lives here is able to thrive. Our new Challenging Inequality strategy sets out Islington’s long term ambition for challenging inequality, inequity, discrimination and promoting inclusion. We are determined to improve life chances for our residents and staff, ensuring no-one is left behind. Tackling these issues will require everyone to play their part so that we can drive tangible change that makes a difference. We will listen and work alongside our staff and community to understand the issues, plan and take action together ensuring we monitor and evaluate the impact of our actions. We know this is not easy work – it’s a lifetime commitment and endeavour. But with the launch of our strategy, we commit to this being our top priority as a council and we will work tirelessly with our partners and community to ensure we create a fairer, more inclusive borough for all.

The Islington Adult Social Care vision is for Islington to be a place made up of strong, inclusive, and connected communities, where regardless of background, people have fair and equal access to adult social care support that enables residents to live healthy, fulfilling, and independent lives.

The requirement

There is a requirement to undertake deep cleans of varying severities, including removals, where a need is identified for a deep clean to support residents to return or remain in their homes. This is so residents can continue to maintain their independence in the community. Where a property is assessed as a health and safety risk to the individual and/or others, the removal of items or waste may be required to prevent fire risks or further health related issues.

Whilst deep cleaning can be an element to supporting residents with hoarding behaviours, core hoarding behaviours remains an unmet need, which can often lead to repeat cleans. The Council have developed a longer-term strategy for deep cleaning that aligns to Council ambitions and practice that improves outcomes for residents that reflects strengths-based approaches.

Lot 1 Deep clean - Primarily for rapid deep cleaning response in residents’ homes, i.e. setting up micromanaged environments to facilitate safe hospital discharge.
