Health (CCG's)
Kirklees Council, in conjunction with the Greater Huddersfield Clinical Commissioning Group and North Kirklees Clinical Commissioning Group, established a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the provision of domiciliary care services.

Kirklees Council and the CCG's wished to establish a DPS to be able to access additional capacity in the market and be able to purchase services to support people to live successfully in their own homes with an appropriate range of person centred services and to enable service users receiving care to lead a good quality of life, maximising their independence, remain safe and comfortable in their own homes for as long as possible whilst maintaining their individual dignity, privacy and freedom of choice.

"description": "The Council and the Integrated Care Board (ICB) are responsible for arranging domiciliary care services to adults aged 18 and over, who have been assessed to meet the Councils eligibility criteria or eligibility for NHS Continuing Healthcare or 117 Aftercare. This includes (but is not limited to) adults who have assessed care and support needs associated with older age, sensory impairment, learning disability, physical disability, physical ill health, chaotic lifestyles, substance misuse and mental illness including dementia. There are two categories within this DPS, to provide domiciliary care services. Within each category there will be multiple Providers who will be responsible for ensuring the delivery of domiciliary care packages allocated to them through further competition. The Council collaborated with the ICB for this DPS. There are currently two lots: Lot 1 Kirklees Council - N/A to this modification Lot 2 Health (NHS WYICB) - which is the subject of this modification. The ICB has served notice on the contract w/c 11th August 2025 to all providers on Lot 2 to end on 30th November 2025 to align with their new contract that will be in place from 1st December 2025 via PSR Direct Award Process B. As this is the Council's DPS it will be the Council who will have to undertake the modification to remove this Lot. For information the aims and objectives of the service for Lot 2 are: The aim of the Continuing Healthcare domiciliary provision is to ensure the delivery of a robust, high quality and sustainable service which meets the requirements of the National Framework (updated 2022), is in line with the local All Age Continuing Care (AACC) Commissioning Principles Operational Procedure (updated 2022) and provides personalised care for those individuals who are eligible for NHS funded care The care to be provided will be delivered in line with an assessment of need that will be carried out by the NHS Continuing Healthcare Team and will determine the level of care required. The details of the commissioned package of care will be provided as a \"Service Plan\". The level of expertise required to deliver the individual care packages will be determined by the CHC team; care commissioned will be \"domiciliary care\" or \"complex domiciliary care\". * A highly skilled and experienced domiciliary care service to adults over the age of 18 years, eligible for NHS CHC funding who wish to remain in their own home * A responsive service that is able to commence a package of care within an agreed timeframe, usually a maximum of 72 hours, from the initial referral * The development of individualised care plans/risk assessments following referral from the CHC Team * Single point of contact (SPOC) for all referrals during office hours * Telephone advice, signposting, service users and family/significant others * Continual assessment of need for all service users * Capacity and Best Interest decisions as required during the delivery of care * A consistent level of appropriately skilled and competent care workers, commensurate with the requirements of the specification to meet the physical, mental, emotional, cognitive, and cultural care needs of the service user * The co-ordination of packages of care to benefit discharge processes and community care that potentially will have an impact on avoiding hospital admissions and prevent delayed discharges * Continual assessment that the package of care meets individual need and to agree changes to a care package, an increase of decrease, with the CHC team.

"rationale": "Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: The sector has seen a large growth of home support providers nationally. Subsequently this has been seen in the DPS leading to increased competition and risks of instability in the local market. This instability is a result of providers competing for the new home support packages available through the DPS. Therefore, it was agreed that the DPS would end in June 2026 and not take up the full extension periods and a new procurement process would be put in place. Therefore the Council is undertaking a new procurement to replace this DPS. The ICB will not be part of the new procurement (as they have undertaken their own procurement and have a new contract that is due to commence on the 1st December 2025) and have asked that Lot 2 on the DPS is removed. The ICB has served notice on the contract w/c 11th August 2025 to all providers on Lot 2 to end on 30th November 2025 to align with their new contract that will be in place from 1st December 2025 via PSR Direct Award Process B."
