Summary of the contracting process

Bracknell Forest Borough Council is currently in the planning stage for a procurement process entitled "Domiciliary Care Service," which focuses on daycare services. The anticipated total value of the contract is £21,000,000 GBP. A key event in this process is the market engagement event scheduled for 29th March 2021, where interested providers will have the opportunity to discuss the Council's vision and provide feedback. The engagement period is set to conclude on 31st August 2021, allowing businesses to prepare their proposals in advance of potential future invitations to tender.

Businesses capable of meeting the Council’s demands for quality, efficiency, and value for money will be well-suited to compete. Given the ongoing implications of COVID-19, there may be additional focus on adaptable service delivery models, making this a timely opportunity for providers keen to enter into collaborative arrangements within the community care landscape.

Domiciliary Care Service

Notice Description

Bracknell Forest Council intends to procure a domiciliary care service. Domiciliary Care plays a key role in supporting independence and quality of life, supporting people who live at home to remain there. It also supports the reablement of individuals following hospital admission and is a critical way of delivering the duties arising from the Care Act. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the service is as effective and efficient as possible and that the future commissioning approach has a focus on outcomes, quality and value for money. The service includes personal care. The council currently purchases domiciliary care services through a Community Based Support (CBS) Framework with 3 providers, and a number of spot contracts.
