## Description
West Lothian Council commission services and support which focus on prevention, early intervention and maintaining and promoting independence, enabling people to live independently in their own homes where they choose to do so.
West Lothian Council will be making use of the provisions of the Light Touch Regime and intend to operate a Framework Agreement for adults with a disability to receive care in their own homes and properties owned by landlords with appropriate support for a period of 4 years with the possibility of extending for a period of up to a further 48 months.
The framework will be for new business only and current business will remain with the incumbent providers. If an incumbent provider is successful their existing packages of care will be transferred to the terms and conditions of the new framework agreement.
If any existing provider is not appointed to the new framework the packages of care may continue as ‘spot purchases’ through a separate contractual arrangement until they end naturally to ensure service continuity for the service user.
The framework will be split into 4 different Lots and Service providers to be appointed to the framework will be required to score at least 60 (sixty)% of the total quality score.
