Notice Title

DHSC: Continuous ASC and PH Improvement for LAs and Practitioners

Notice Description

The aim of this procurement is to provide a comprehensive, evidence-based programme of support and improvement activity that helps local authorities and practitioners deliver adult social care and public health statutory duties and improve services so that everyone can access high quality care that enables choice, control and independence. The Authority wants to commission a support offer with three clear strands: i) A universal support offer that strengthens and facilitates the sector's own self-improvement by making guidance, best practice resources, practical toolkits, training, and collaboration opportunities available to LAs and adult social care practitioners. ii) A targeted support offer to help LAs identify, diagnose and tackle problems in delivering their statutory duties or implementing adult social care reforms. The Contractor will be required to work closely with the Authority and its other improvement support and improvement partners to help target support. iii) A reactive support programme, working with the authority and its partners to support LAs that have been identified as failing or at risk of failing to discharge their duties under Care Act 2014 Part 1. The criteria for this procurement is described in the award criteria below. The initial contract duration is for 9 months from 1st July 2024 to 31st March 2025. The contract was procured using the open procedure light touch regime regulation no 74 to 77 under PCR 2015.
