This procurement process falls under the health and social work services category and is taking place in England. The tender period is set to close on 3rd March 2022, with the contract anticipated to start on 16th June 2022 and conclude on 31st October 2024. Prospective service providers are encouraged to apply for multiple operational zones across Leicestershire, with a total contract value of £125 million. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in home care services, particularly those with capabilities to deliver high-quality, adaptable services in line with regulatory standards. Organisations that focus on health and social support, especially SMEs and voluntary community sector entities, would be well-suited to compete. The focus on promoting independence and recovery within the community adds further appeal for businesses looking to expand their market presence in the health and social care sector. ## Notice Leicestershire County Council, East Leicestershire & Rutland CCG and West Leicestershire CCG are refreshing the existing Home Care for Leicestershire service. The Council is committed to the delivery of high-quality adult social care services and health care services within Home Care for residents of Leicestershire who are assessed as requiring Home Care or those living outside Leicestershire but who have continuing health care needs that can supported by this service and are registered with a Leicestershire GP. The Council wishes to work in partnership with Home Care Providers, who can demonstrate and maintain quality standards in line with the Council's Service Specification, which has at its core the Care Quality Commission's Regulations, National Framework for NHS Continuing Healthcare & NHS-funded Nursing Care 2018 and is in line with the Care Act 2014. Service Providers are required to deliver services which focus on the health, safety, enablement, progression and wellbeing of people who require such services. They must enable people to gain, maintain or regain skills to help them to live independently and recover from illness. The service, wherever possible, supports people to prevent unnecessary admission to hospital and residential care. The service should also support people to be discharged from hospital or move out of long or short term, building based care. Service Providers should provide a level of support to assist people to build on their current strengths and develop their abilities to look after themselves without becoming dependent on support. The services people receive should maximise their independence and provide value for money. Home Care Services must be available for people with a variety of needs and/or conditions and the services must be able to adapt and meet the needs of people as their condition(s) develop. It is anticipated that a range of service providers will be appointed to the framework and they will be able to indicate zones across the county of Leicestershire where they are able to provide services. These 14 zones are as below (further detail including maps are included in the ITT): * Coalville and Ashby * Charnwood North * Charnwood South * West Leicester * Oadby and Wigston * Hinckley * Melton * South Leicestershire * Market Harborough * Castle Donington * Lutterworth * Bottesford * West Leicestershire * Harborough There is no limit in relation to the number of zones a bidder can apply to operate in. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4c3e7634-221a-466b-97e0-1cd5a3a3452c | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Jan 2022 | | Submission deadline | 3 Mar 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 15 Jun 2022 - 31 Oct 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £125,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LEICESTERSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | LEICESTER | | Post town | Leicester | | Postcode | LE3 8RA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF22 Leicestershire CC and Rutland | | Local authority | Blaby | | Electoral ward | Glenfield Faire | | Westminster constituency | Mid Leicestershire | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 11 Jan 2022 at 10:21 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4c3e7634-221a-466b-97e0-1cd5a3a3452c ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4c3e7634-221a-466b-97e0-1cd5a3a3452c 11th January 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=68f1e9e3-d37c-eb11-810a-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - https://www.eastmidstenders.org/index.html ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
