What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust (JRHT) is seeking to appoint an experienced care provider to deliver integrated care services at Hartrigg Oaks, a continuing care retirement community in York comprising 152 bungalows and a 43-bed residential and nursing care home, The Oaks.
The scope includes:

- residential and nursing care within The Oaks care home.
JRHT also wants the same provider to operate:
- On site catering services
- On site Healthy Activity Centre (HAC)
The appointed provider will be contracted by JRHT and will assume full responsibility for the delivery, safety and quality of care services, including clinical governance, safeguarding and regulatory compliance. The provider must be registered with the Care Quality Commission for all relevant regulated activities.
JRHT will retain ownership of the estate, with operational responsibility for care services transferring to the appointed provider.
The contract aims to deliver high-quality, person-centred and integrated care, with payment based on a fixed fee model subject to adjustment based on actual service delivery.
For the avoidance of doubt, the inclusion of VAT within the estimated contract value is for the purposes of this notice only; care provision services of this nature are expected to be exempt from VAT in accordance with UK legislation applicable to state-regulated welfare services.
