The procurement is currently in the award stage, following an open procedure that concluded on 24th August 2018. The council currently provides over 62,000 hours of care annually and expects this to increase due to the ageing population. The tender is classified under social work services without accommodation. This contract presents significant opportunities for growth in the healthcare sector, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) that provide flexible homecare services. Companies equipped to offer various levels of support—including non-complex health care tasks and end-of-life care—will be well-positioned to compete. The shift towards an outcome-focused service model opens avenues for businesses to demonstrate their ability to enhance client independence while managing healthcare complexities in the community. ## Notice Rutland County Council intends to commission outcome based Homecare Services to meet the health and social care needs of Service Users and Carers across the County, commencing the 1st April 2019. To respond to this tender you must register on the East Midlands Tenders https://www.eastmidstenders.org/ Once registered, select 'Find Opportunities', then on the page that displays, look under 'Narrow your results' (right hand side), and from the 'Organisations' menu select 'Welland Procurement' and you should reach the tender notice via which you can register your interest and access the tender documents. A direct link to this tender notice will be added to the foot of this Contracts Finder Notice in due course. Currently the Council commissions over 62,000 hours of homecare support per year to approximately 79 people. This figure is set to rise given the ageing population in Rutland, the increase in people living with more complex conditions, and the increase in people continuing to live at home. The Council therefore require a wide range of flexible support services for people with varying levels of need including non-complex health care tasks and end of life care. The procurement proposes a shift from commissioning for 'time and task', to an outcome-focussed service which supports people to maximise their independence. The specification will set out three key aims: i) To support individuals to regain and retain their independence ii) To reduce the need for on-going homecare services through re-ablement and enablement iii) To support Service Users to exercise choice and control The proposed contract length is 3 years, starting 1st April 2019 with the option to extend annually for a further 1 year. This will be subject to satisfactory performance and enable need and capacity to be reviewed. The maximum contract period will be 4 years; ending 31st March 2023. The Council has fixed the hourly rate for the specified services. The Council makes no guarantee as to the minimum or maximum number of organisations it will award to. The Council makes no guarantee as to the volume or value of services that it may procure from any one organisation or organisations over the term of the contract. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/faf192b4-5df0-453c-b0ae-837aef32264c | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 30 Oct 2018 | | Submission deadline | 24 Aug 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 29 Oct 2018 | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2019 - 31 Mar 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £4,300,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | RUTLAND COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | OAKHAM | | Post town | Leicester | | Postcode | LE15 6HP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF22 Leicestershire CC and Rutland | | Local authority | Rutland | | Electoral ward | Oakham South | | Westminster constituency | Rutland and Stamford | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | ELEVEN PROVIDERS APPOINTED | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85312000 - Social work services without accommodation ## Release History - 30 Oct 2018 at 11:28 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/faf192b4-5df0-453c-b0ae-837aef32264c - 2 Jul 2018 at 17:11 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4fd2004d-eb0d-4b7a-8dba-4138c8b7792f - 2 Jul 2018 at 15:58 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4fd2004d-eb0d-4b7a-8dba-4138c8b7792f - 2 Jul 2018 at 15:40 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4fd2004d-eb0d-4b7a-8dba-4138c8b7792f ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/faf192b4-5df0-453c-b0ae-837aef32264c 30th October 2018 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4fd2004d-eb0d-4b7a-8dba-4138c8b7792f 2nd July 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.eastmidstenders.org/ To register your interest in this tender please visit www.EastMidsTenders.org - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=fb7940e9-107e-e811-80ed-005056b64545&p=527b4bbd-5c58-e511-80ef-000c29c9ba21 EastMidsTenders.org direct link to advert ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
