## Description
The Council has previously awarded agreements to a number of Providers to deliver Care at Home Services (formerly known as domiciliary care), this is a voluntary ex ante transparency (VEAT) notice being used to extend the current agreements beyond their expiry dates.  This is to ensure continuous operation of the providers during re-commissioning of this area, which is necessary due to a shortfall in provision, when compared with market demand for services.
Providers will be expected to provide support to a full range of Service Users including those with complex health needs and end of life support at a level set out within this specification. As such, the Service is being jointly commissioned by Cheshire East Council, Eastern Cheshire Clinical Commissioning Group and South Cheshire Clinical Commissioning Group; known know as the ICB. The principle objective of the service is to enable Service Users to remain in their own homes wherever possible, whilst preserving maximum independence, minimising risks, achieving outcomes and promoting quality of life. Provision is expected to complement and support informal carers where appropriate.
The Council are proposing to extend current agreements by a period of 12 months until 3rd September 2024, with an anticipated additional spend in total of 15,696,067 GBP being added to the contract value across all lots and providers, taking it to approximately 81,881,100 GBP this allows for some growth in the market and a fee increase, due to wage increases.
