As advertised in the previous procurement opportunity for the provision of Domiciliary Care (OJEU reference 2012/S 236-388941), it was confirmed that the accredited provider lists for General and Learning Disability Domiciliary Care would be re-opened on a six monthly basis to allow for organisations to apply to join should they so wish. This opportunity allows organisations apply for ‘accreditation’ through this process.
The awarding authority is therefore inviting organisations to submit requests for the following opportunities:
Lot 1: General Domiciliary Care for Adults – Inclusion in the Accredited Provider List
Successful organisations will achieve “accredited” status for general domiciliary care provision with their services advertised on the ‘Your Support your Choice’ website.
This list is for the purchase of services for individuals using a personal budget or direct payment, individuals paying for their own support; and members of the public who wish to buy their support from a provider who has undergone an assurance check with the Council.
A subsequent yearly accreditation check will be undertaken.
Successful organisations would be noted as being ‘accredited’ and therefore the Council are not deeming them as ‘Preferred’ or guaranteeing a level of business in respect of services provided.
Lot 2: Domiciliary Care for Adults with a Learning Disability – Inclusion in the Accredited Provider List
Successful organisations will achieve “accredited” status for domiciliary care provision for people with a Learning Disability with their services advertised on the ‘Your Support your Choice’ website.
This list is for the purchase of services for individuals using a personal budget or direct payment, individuals paying for their own support; and members of the public who wish to buy their support from a provider who has undergone an assurance check with the Council.
A subsequent yearly accreditation check will be undertaken.
Successful organisations would be noted as being ‘accredited’ and therefore the Council are not deeming them as ‘Preferred’ or guaranteeing a level of business in respect of services provided.
These ‘lots’ are not co-dependant and organisations are able bid for one or more of these as they wish.
