Authority: Wiltshire Council (Local council)
As the Wiltshire Home Care Flexible Framework will be recommissioned from 31 March 2026, we will now be opening and closing ongoing rounds in exceptional circumstances. We will not be setting a date to close Round 12 and therefore should bidders wish to submit an application to join they should do so prior to Round 11 closing on Monday 10th February 2025 at 12:00 noon. If providers do not currently hold a Wiltshire-based CQC-registered office (or an office within a neighbouring local authority area, as specified in the Clarification Log), you must establish such an office prior to applying to join the framework.

Wiltshire Council are looking to establish a new Home Care Flexible Framework for the delivery of General Home Care Services for Adults in Wiltshire.
The Home Care Service provides home-based CQC registered care and support to individuals and their carers. The service aims to support people to regain and maintain their confidence and independence with a combination of both emotional and health and social care support.
People and their family/carers will have access to high quality care services which are person centred, treat people with dignity and respect, keep people safe, offer real choice and control, promote independence and social inclusion and are supported by highly skilled and dedicated staff. It will support the prevention of hospital admissions and improve system flow, reducing delayed discharges and facilitating hospital discharge. The service operates over 7 days a week for adults of all ages.
Transforming home care is a long-term objective for all of us and Wiltshire Council is committed to co ordinating this work customers, carers, providers and communities.
