Notice Title

CP1997-20 Short-term Blocks Personal Care

Notice Description

In certain specific circumstances due to the needs of the Service User the Provider may be asked to provide additional home-based support services e.g. shopping, preparation of meals and cleaning. Devon County Council is procuring a number of small block contract arrangements for Personal Care in particular locations with Devon. These packages of care are typically required in rural locations and may also require double-handed care. To assist the market in being able to respond to these unmet demands, the Council is commissioning small volume block contracts as short-term intervention to 'seed' capacity in the local market. The block contracts will have the following features: * To provide the regulated activity 'personal care' in the individuals own home. This may include double handed care packages. * The block volumes will represent additional commissioning. Providers will not be permitted to incorporate existing business into short-term block volume arrangements under the terms of this contract. * It is expected that packages of care commissioned through the short-term block contract vehicle will pass to a provider's core-business on the personal care standard banded rate contract upon termination of the block contract arrangement.
