Notice Title

Cambridgeshire County Council New Commissioning Model for Homecare - Soft Market Test

Notice Description

Cambridgeshire County Council (CCC) invites potential providers to respond to a soft market test relating to homecare. CCC currently operates under a Dynamic Purchasing System for commissioning homecare. We are undergoing an in-depth analysis of the market's needs, demands and how they are currently being met. With increasing pressure to supply more care, with less resource, we need to create new and innovative ways to ensure the care we commission is of the highest quality and effective for all those involved. We are considering a new commissioning model, which is explained in more detail in the soft market test document. We are also seeking providers to support us with a pilot in East Cambridgeshire which will enable providers to support their Service Users with accessing the community and additional services they might need to stay happy and healthy at home for longer. Interested providers should complete the soft market test questionnaire (available on ProContract) and upload via ProContract by 16:00 on the 15th October 2021.
