two.1.4) Short description
Reablement is a strengths-based, person-centred approach that promotes and maximises independence and wellbeing. It aims to ensure positive change using user-defined goals and is designed to enable people to gain, or regain, their confidence, ability, and necessary skills to live as independently as possible, especially after an illness, deterioration in health or injury. It is therefore fundamentally different to that of homecare provision.
The Council currently does not have a community reablement service which is accessible on a universal basis to all local people in the borough. The Councils current offer is limited to individuals who have been hospitalised (or would have been hospitalised.)
The Council plans to roll out a community reablement service in two phases. This is phase 1 of the project and will run from 1st November 2024 to 31st March 2025 with an option to extend up to 6 months until 31st September 2025.
The procurement process being used is closed competition from the Council's CBS Lot 1.6 Framework Agreement and CBS Lot 1.6 Spot Contract under the Light Touch Regime of the Public Contact Regulations. Regulations 74 to 77 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 give the Council the opportunity and flexibility to design and carry out its own modified competitive procurement procedures via the light touch regime.
The phase 2 community reablement service will be awarded following an open competitive tendering procedure commencing in 2025.
