## Summary

The Plymouth City Council is planning to initiate an Expression of Interest for a Domiciliary Care service, aimed at providing care to adults in their own homes, specifically within the city of Plymouth or for those registered with a Plymouth GP. This service, critical for those assessed as needing assistance, has an estimated value of £800,000 and will be contracted for a year, commencing on 1 April 2018. Interested providers should note that the fixed hourly rate is set at £15.08 until 30 September 2018, with an increase to £16.08 thereafter. Key dates include the future notice date on 20 February 2018 and the planned communication for tender submissions from 28 February to 1 March 2018. The procurement is categorised under health and social work services.

This procurement represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the health and social care sector, particularly those specialising in domiciliary care services. Businesses that provide regulated care services, particularly those familiar with working with adults, including those transitioning to adult services, and those accommodating end-of-life care, would be well-suited to compete. With the growing demand for in-home care solutions, this contract offers a pathway for local service providers to enhance their service portfolio and expand their operations within the Plymouth area.

## Notice

This service is for people who have been assessed as requiring care and support in their own home from a provider who is regulated by the CQC. This service is normally for adults over the age of 18 living within the city of Plymouth or has a Plymouth registered GP, although there may be some 16 - 18 year olds supported by this service who are in transition to Adult Services. This service will also support people who have end of life needs. The Commissioners intend to procure an existing service of 1,000 hours per week through a single block contract arrangement for a period of one year plus one annual increment. The contract will be expected to commence on the 1 April 2018. A fixed hourly rate of PS15.08 will be paid until 30 September 2018. The fixed hourly rate will be increased to PS16.08 from 1 October 2018.
