Customers that will require this Service will have a wide range of needs that may include one or a combination of the following broad headings (please note this list is not exhaustive):

  • Physical disability or frailty,
  • Learning disability
  • Mental Health
  • Sensory Disabilities and/or Communication needs
  • Dementia or other cognitive difficulties. Providers must have Care Quality Commission (CQC) registration in place for the delivery of personal care. The Service Provider will also be required to be registered with the CQC to be able to deliver personal care in the City of Derby. Service Providers not already registered to do this, will be required to apply to be registered to do this within a month of receiving the framework award letter. Providers must have Care Quality Commission rating above ‘Inadequate’ in place for the delivery of personal care to be able to bid. Where a Providers is waiting for a rating from the CQC for the delivery of personal care from the CQC, they can still submit a bid. If subsequently the rating is ‘Inadequate’, then the Service Provider will be required to provide an action plan that is satisfactory to the Council that will address all the concerns raised by the CQC within a timescale agreed with the Council.

Value. The potential framework value is £62,706,904.62 over four years. Contract Opportunities will only initially be for new Service requirements (care packages). The Council also reserves the right to review existing care packages and put these out as a Contract Opportunity under this Framework. Framework

Lots The framework is split into four geographical Lots. The Council intends to appoint the following number of Service Providers in each of the following Lots :Lot 1 – Central Locality = Three Service Providers Lot 2 – West Locality = Four Service Providers Lot 3 – East Locality = Three Service Providers Lot 4 – South Locality = Three Service Providers

A Provider can only be awarded a maximum of two Lots.

The Council reserves the right to open a Lot or Lots and run a open competitive tendering process to replace existing Framework Service Provider due to failure/poor performance/material breaches etc. There will also be the option of opening up a Lot or Lots to add an additional Service Provider where there are capacity issues within that Lot. Further to the points above there will still be the rule that a Service Provider can only be awarded two Lots, so if a provider on this Framework already has two Lots, they will not be able to bid for an additional Lot. The initial Framework Term is two years. The maximum framework term is four years.

Fees The Council has a set a maximum hourly rate for the provision of Home Care services as part of its Fee structure. Tenderers must confirm that they accept this Fee structure as part of their Tender response. Details are in the ITT. Framework start date is 1st June 2021. (initial term is 2 years plus possible extension of a further two years).
