Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Worcestershire County Council is currently seeking an experienced organisation to provide Adult Social Care Review and Re-assessment services for individuals with learning disabilities in Worcestershire. The title of the tender is "Social Work Reviews for People with a Learning Disability in Worcestershire." The procurement is categorised under social work and related services, and the tender process is in the open stage, set to conclude on 7th April 2022. The contract is scheduled to commence on 1st May 2022 and will last until 31st October 2022, with a maximum budget of £240,000 to complete up to 600 reviews across the region. Interested bidders will be evaluated based on price and quality, and the procurement method follows the 'Light Touch Regime' for services below the threshold. 

This tender presents a lucrative opportunity for businesses specialising in social care and support services. Companies that possess a qualified workforce skilled in conducting assessments and operationalising care support plans would be particularly well-suited to compete. Furthermore, businesses that can demonstrate the capacity to manage caseloads effectively and ensure timely completion of reviews will likely appeal to the Worcestershire County Council's criteria. This contract could serve as a significant means for growth within the social work sector, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs) looking to expand their services.

Notice Title

Social Work Reviews for People with a Learning Disability in Worcestershire

Notice Description

The Council wishes to engage an experienced and qualified organisation to provide an outsourced Adult Social Care Review and/or Re-assessment service. There is a cohort of up to 600 reviews that the provider will be contracted to enable, on behalf of the Council which will be allocated to the contractor, in tranches starting from commencement of the service. There will be regular reviews, on achievement against KPIS as each tranche is completed or approximately 100 reviews per tranche. The Council expect the Contractor to deliver these reviews through an appropriately qualified workforce of people able to complete reviews, work with our customers, face to face and in some cases via telephone or digital platforms in Worcestershire. To support the delivery of a seamless service, the Council will ensure the Contractor's personnel are trained and have access to appropriate case information to undertake the duties contained within this agreement. The Council will facilitate access for each of the contractor's workers to the Council's Council management system, Liquid Logic. We expect the Contractor to arrange for each Review and Re-assessment to be completed. This will include contacting the Council and arranging a suitable time, completion of the assessment form, completion of the support plan and input onto Liquid Logic. The maximum budget for this contract is PS240,000 and the successful provider will need to demonstrate appropriate resource is in place to commence reviews immediate and complete all reviews (up to 600) within appropriate and reasonable timescales, to bring pace to the delivery. Bidders will be evaluated against price and quality criteria and further information concerning the procurement process will be included within the tender documents. This is an 'open' procedure under the 'Light Touch Regime' (below threshold). Due to the timing of the requirement the Council reserves the right not to use a voluntary 'standstill 'period. Please register on Worcestershire County Council Electronic Tendering Site - Home (in-tendhost.co.uk) for further information. The tender will advertise separately during February 2022.
