Summary of the contracting process

The Leicestershire County Council is conducting a tender process for a soft market testing initiative titled "Home Care provider survey" in the services category under health and social work services. This initiative aims to explore delivery options for support services for adults (18+) with social care needs across Leicestershire that do not require personal care. The Council plans to consult the market before potential procurement, with a tender expected to be advertised within the next 12 months, leading to a 12-month pilot implementation.

This tender process by the Leicestershire County Council presents an opportunity for businesses in the health and social work services sector to participate in providing non-regulated support activities for adults with social care needs. Companies offering services such as ordering groceries, preparing meals, cleaning homes, laundry, and sitting services may find this tender suitable. By engaging in this soft market testing, businesses can contribute insights that will inform the Council's decision-making on proceeding to procurement and the design of the service delivery.

Notice Title

Soft market testing: Home Care provider survey

Notice Description

Leicestershire County Council ('the Council') is responsible for commissioning and procuring support services for adults (18+) with eligible social care needs across Leicestershire. In this market engagement, we would like to explore delivery options in relation to all tasks that a person with eligible social care needs might require that do not require any personal care and are therefore classed as not needing to be provided by a CQC registered organisation. Please note that in these situations, employed staff and volunteers will continue to require vetting through the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). The types of tasks include (but are not limited to) any non-regulated activities for example ordering groceries, preparing meals and drinks, cleaning a person's home, laundry and sitting services. The Council would like to consult the market prior to a potential procurement exercise. It is currently anticipated that a tender may be advertised within the next 12 months and once implemented will have a 12-month duration as a pilot. By expressing an interest in this soft market testing you will get access to our Snap Survey. The responses you provide will inform the Council when deciding whether to proceed to procurement and how to structure/design the service.
