## Summary

Blackpool Council, in partnership with the Blackpool Clinical Commissioning Group (BCCG), is conducting a procurement process for "Person Centred Home Care" services, aiming to commission high-quality, flexible care that meets local needs in Blackpool. This tender includes two lots: Lot 1 focuses on adult home care, while Lot 2 targets continuing health care services for children and adults. The overall contract value is £130 million, with the tender period closing on 15 October 2018. The contract is expected to commence on 1 April 2019 and will run until 31 March 2024, covering various geographical zones within Blackpool, specifically the postcodes FY1 to FY6 and Fylde and Wyre for Lot 2.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health and social care sectors, particularly those offering home care services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the Council seeks to appoint multiple providers for each zone. Businesses with expertise in delivering safe and reliable care, especially those experienced in mental health and disability support, would find themselves well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging in this tender could enhance a company's portfolio and expand its impact within the local community.
