This procurement falls under the social work services industry category (CPV code 85312000) and is located in Reading, Berkshire. The contract is currently in the Award stage, having been awarded on 29 December 2017, and spans from 26 March 2017 to 31 August 2022. The procurement method used is an open procedure, with an estimated contract value of £15 million, and it includes the provision of care services across various Extra Care schemes in the borough. This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health and social care sector, particularly those specialising in elder care and support services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-suited to compete for this tender, as the council prioritises the promotion of independence and community-driven care. With an increasing demand projected due to evolving client needs, businesses that can offer innovative and flexible care solutions will be especially competitive in this market. ## Notice Reading Borough Council invite Tenders to provide care within six Extra Care schemes for older people in the Borough. The Council's focus is on promotion of independence and to prevent, reduce or delay the need for support. We want people to build, recover and retain skills to be able to live as full a life as possible. Our Extra Care schemes will act as hubs within the community for older and vulnerable people to access care and social activities. The council currently commissions 1198.5 hours of care within four Extra Care schemes and this is projected to increase as clients with more complex needs are placed there and two new schemes open. Currently the council spends approximately PS993,000 per year on home care within these Extra Care sheltered housing schemes.
