Summary of the contracting process

Cambridgeshire County Council is planning a soft market test concerning their New Commissioning Model for Homecare, aimed at enhancing health and social work services. Interested providers must submit their responses via ProContract by 16:00 on 15th October 2021. This initiative is part of a market analysis designed to explore innovative commissioning methods in light of the increasing demand for homecare services, and it will be conducted within the East Cambridgeshire area. The procurement process is in the planning stage, and the council is currently seeking feedback rather than formal tenders.

This soft market test presents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in the health and social care sectors, particularly those that provide homecare services or related support systems. Companies capable of delivering innovative care solutions and community access services would be well-suited to participate in the upcoming procurement activities. Engaging with Cambridgeshire County Council in this preliminary phase may also enable providers to align their offerings with the council's future requirements, thereby enhancing their competitive advantage.

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 health 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.
