## Summary

The Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council is currently in the tender stage of procuring a "Support at Home" Ethical Flexible Procurement System. This initiative aims to provide essential support designed to help individuals maintain their independence and reduce reliance on more intensive care options. The tender is valued at £25 million and is classified under health and social work services, specifically in the North West region of the United Kingdom. The deadline for submissions is 1st August 2018, with the contract expected to commence on 20th August 2018 and run until 19th August 2028. The procurement method employed is selective, following a restricted procedure.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health and social care sector, particularly those that specialise in flexible support services or innovative care solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, given the emphasis on ethical procurement and the potential for wider engagement with locality teams. The procurement aims to foster quality care while also encouraging more individuals to consider careers in the care sector, thereby enhancing the workforce and support options available in the community.

## Notice

The Council is tendering for a Support at Home Ethical Flexible Procurement System. Support at home is a crucial element in being able to retain and maintain people's independence for as longa s possible, to support carers, and to reduce and delay the need for more intensive forms of support including hospital and care home admissions. As emphasised in the key objectives of the Commissioning Strategy. The Council is committed to introducing an ethical flexible procurement system (FPS) for support at home which includes; continuous quality development, a closer alignment of support at home with locality teams and a greater emphasis on wellbeing and opportunities for more flexible support packages. The FPS will enhance person centred care in which more people are enabled to seek wider circles of support (reducing long term dependence) but also more people are attracted to work the care profession (helping to increase supply).
