Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Coventry and Warwickshire Integrated Care Board is planning a procurement process for a Domiciliary Care Service in the Coventry and Warwickshire area. This initiative falls under the health services industry category and is currently at the planning stage, with a market engagement survey being conducted. Interested providers are encouraged to participate in this survey by completing a Microsoft Forms document, accessible until 5pm on 2nd June 2025. The service aims to meet the healthcare needs of patients in their own homes, excluding residential and nursing homes, with a four-year contract planned, potentially extendable by two additional years. The contract, guided by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, is estimated at a total value of £39 million over its possible six-year duration.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the healthcare sector, particularly those with experience in providing domiciliary care services. Companies that are CQC registered and capable of delivering personalised care and support to adult patient groups in their homes could find this contract highly beneficial for business growth. Providers who can offer up to four care visits per day and maintain a robust service level will have a competitive edge. The procurement process fosters a collaborative environment where providers can interact with the ICB to shape service specifications, ensuring that their offerings align with patient needs and market sustainability. Engaging in this process not only opens doors for substantial revenue over the contract term but also positions a business as a key player in regional healthcare service provision.

***THIS ADVERT IS FOR A MARKET ENGAGEMENT SURVEY ONLY***

NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands CSU on behalf of NHS Coventry and Warwickshire ICB are running this survey for providers who have the relevant experience and skills to provide a Domiciliary Care Service.

This market engagement requests that Interested Providers complete the Microsoft Forms survey which can be found at the following link:

https://forms.office.com/e/surPTe5pJR

Please note this survey closes on 5pm Monday 2 June 2025

The aim of the contract is to provide a domiciliary care service with care as provided by CQC registered providers that are able to meet the health care needs of patients.

Domiciliary Care refers to support that is delivered to patients in their own home and is not determined by the type of accommodation they live in. This does not include:
* Residential Care Homes
* Nursing Homes

Domiciliary Care is defined as:

* Care and support delivered in a person's home.
* This includes support with personal care.
* All adult customer groups aged 18 years
* Children - to be confirmed

Care provision is usually delivered with either 1 or 2 carers with visits lasting up to one hour, for a maximum amount of 4 visits per day. This therefore amounts to a maximum of 56 care hours per week required for the patient to have care sourced under Domiciliary Care. If a patient requires extra care above this level, then this care will be sourced for on the other existing frameworks that cover this increased level of needs.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) will be responsible for ensuring the provider meets all registration requirements.

Service description/care pathway to include:

Patients eligible for CHC funding or jointly funded with a local authority will be assessed by the ICB clinician to determine the health care needs and prescribe care accordingly on an outline assessment of needs (OAN) form. Referrals will be sent to providers from our brokerage team with the OAN attached so it is clear what care is required. Patients will reach the service from a variety of pathways, including, but not limited to:
* Discharge to assess (D2A)
* Fast track eligible patients
* CHC funded eligible patients
* Joint funded CHC eligible patients where health care needs have been identified and agreed with the local authority.

The ICB will maintain service level information for all commissioned Domiciliary Care services and will select providers using the criteria above. By doing so, the ICB will ensure that services remain sustainable and volume share is maintained across the market.

The intention of the ICB is to put in place a 4 year contract with the option to extend for up to a maximum of 2 years as a result of any process run under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 following this market engagement event. The anticipated contract value is c.PS6.5m/annum, so the anticipated current total contract value over the full life of the contract (6 years if the extension were to be enacted) would be c.PS39m. Please note that this is an indicative value for the purposes of this market engagement only and the ICB reserves the right to vary this value in any subsequent notice they may place.
