Notice Title

Care at Home Block Contract

Notice Description

Care at Home services provide personalised care, including social and emotional support to enable people to continue or resume residing in their own home. The purpose of the service is to ensure quality of life for the individual, while enabling them to retain their independence. Successful delivery of the service involves putting the person at the centre of the decisions about the way they live and the support that they want to receive. The Council's intention is to tender a pilot for a small block contract for 300 hours per week to operate alongside the Care at Home Framework. The block contract will operate for 1 year plus an option to extend for a further 1 year period. This 'Test of Change' block contract will differ from the framework and explore new approaches to service delivery across all areas of West Lothian, which will include responding to priority emergency need, geographical constraints, and addressing those packages of care that have been problematic to fulfil under the existing care at home arrangements. The project will also aim to ensure the availability of high quality, cost effective, reliable services that can adapt to meet surges in demand from critical areas such as hospital discharge and crisis care and help to alleviate winter pressures on the system. The block contract will attract a guaranteed contracted value each week which also differs from the framework. The success of the block contract will be evaluated on an ongoing basis and will inform future Care at Home contracts.

The Council's intention is to tender a pilot for a small block contract for 300 hours per week to operate alongside the Care at Home Framework. This 'Test of Change' block contract will differ from the framework and explore new approaches to service delivery across all areas of West Lothian, which will include responding to priority emergency need, geographical constraints, and addressing those packages of care that have been problematic to fulfil under the existing care at home arrangements. The project will also aim to ensure the availability of high quality, cost effective, reliable services that can adapt to meet surges in demand from critical areas such as hospital discharge and crisis care and help to alleviate winter pressures on the system. The block contract will attract a guaranteed contracted value each week which also differs from the framework. The success of the block contract will be evaluated on an ongoing basis and will inform future Care at Home contracts.

Tenderers with a Failure Score of 50 or above on the DBAi system will be deemed to have evidence satisfactory financial stability. Please note that 49 or less will not be considered as having met this criteria. If a tenderer has a Failure Score of less than 50, the tenderer may be required to submit their last three years accounts. In the event that the tenderer is not required to publish accounts and therefore does not have a Dun & Bradstreet or equivalent rating, tenderers should be able to provide financial accounts when requested. The council will then conduct an analysis of the accounts to ensure that there is no significant financial risk. Please note that if you intend on attaching 2 years accounts, these must include financial data over a 3-year period. It is recommended that candidates review their own Dun & Bradstreet Score in advance of submitting their tender. If following this review tenderers consider that the Dun & Bradstreet Score does not reflect their current financial status, details of this should be provided, complete with evidence of a good high street credit rating (the equivalent of Dun & Bradstreet score 50) from a recognised credit referencing agency. The council will review any such information as part of the evaluation of Tenderer's financial status. In the event that a firm does not meet the financial criteria for consideration but has a parent company that does, the firm may still be eligible for consideration where their Tender Submission is supported by a Parent Company Guarantee.
