Notice Title

Homecare in Somerset

Notice Description

The current contracts for Homecare services in Somerset expires at the end of March 2024 and we have a commissioning plan underway to have a new contract in place from April 2024. Is it considered that the current model and demand pressures have led to a service which isn't as efficient as it could be and that the recommissioning of the service will provide an opportunity to look at different models that reduce inefficiencies and bring better outcomes for Somerset's residents. The overall aim is to co-produce a more localised place-based offer which creates an environment for more collaborative working. Further to the initial engagement sessions held during October, we would like to continue the conversations by holding further sessions during January, with a view to focussing in on some of the available options for the commissioning and delivery of homecare services in the future. Soft Market Testing Event Soft Market Testing events will be held on 17th, 18th, 24th & 25th January 2023 between 10:00 and 12:00. Somerset County Council are inviting organisations, that might be interested in delivering these services either individually or in partnership with others to attend. The event will be an opportunity to inform and shape future options. Somerset County Council are keen to hear feedback from a range of providers as part of the wider consultation for this service. Organisations that take part will not be advantaged or disadvantaged in any way in any potential future formal procurement. Commercial confidentiality will be respected. This notice does not represent a formal commitment by Somerset County Council to undertake a procurement procedure.
