What is being bought

Herefordshire Council will be running Market Engagement events for all businesses interested in delivering home care services, called Care In Your Home (CIYH) Partnership. Herefordshire Council has a statutory duty, under the Care Act 2014, to provide home care services for residents with assessed eligible needs, in order to enable them to remain safe and independent in their own homes for longer, reducing or delaying the need for more formal health and social care services. This engagement follows on from our provider sessions in June, July and August, as we continue to develop the CIYH model. The two engagement sessions will be hosted by Hilary Hall (Corporate Director Community Wellbeing) and Jeanette Young (Service Director All Age Commissioning). The sessions will be your opportunity to further discuss the CIYH Partnership and: • Hear how your feedback has continued to help shape the proposed CIYH model • Understand the final direction of travel • Review the next steps and procurement timeline • Raise any additional questions before the tender is published.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Health and social work services (85000000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 8515,0591 median · 35.8 average (6,692 of 15,059 with a bid count)2.1 average (7,561 of 15,059 with named award suppliers)10 comparable price pairs

Delivery region: UKG11361 median · 12.4 average (20 of 36 with a bid count)6.3 average (23 of 36 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

The service will enable people to meet their outcomes through the delivery of high-quality personal care and support. Providers will deliver enabling home care that meets the person's needs, maintains and increases their independence and minimises their need for formal care. The service will be provided to adults aged 18 years and over who live in Herefordshire and have been assessed as eligible for social care services.\nSubject to formal governance, the service is proposed to be divided into 8 Lots based on geographical location: Lot 1 - Mortimer, Lot 2 - Leominster, Lot 3 - Bromyard, Lot 4 - Ledbury, Lot 5 - Ross-on-Wye, Lot 6 - Kington, Weobley and Golden Valley, Lot 7 - Hereford North, Lot 8 - Hereford South. \nBidders will be permitted to submit a tender for more than one Lot, depending on the service area they are able to cover and their capability and capacity to meet the requirements of the relevant Lot(s). To promote market sustainability and provider diversity, the Council will limit the award to a maximum of two Lots per successful bidder. The Council intends to award a maximum of one contract for each Lot.",

Reablement / enablement is different to traditional home care, as it is a time limited intervention only (potentially for up to five weeks) with an emphasis on 'doing with, not doing for'.",
