Lot Information

Lot 1

Lot 1 - Regulated Activity It is a requirement that, for Lot 1, all Providers will be registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and will maintain registration throughout the duration of this contract. Therefore, the regulations required or registration (and their associated standards), and the monitoring of the achievement of those regulations and standards, are not duplicated in this specification. Providers must be registered with the Care Quality Commission when carrying out regulated activity via the FPS once services are established.

Lot 2

Lot 2 - Unregulated Activity The Council also wishes to work with non-registered CQC Providers to develop a range of community services which allow those accessing services under this FPS to achieve their full potential by receiving services at the right time and at the right place. An example of where these providers would be used would be where no identified personal care needs had been identified and a more informal community support offer was required.
