## Summary

The procurement process involves Hartlepool Borough Council, which is seeking bids for a feasibility study into alternative service delivery models for supporting older people, including domiciliary care and residential/nursing care. The procurement falls under the services industry category and is located in Hartlepool, North East England. The tender had a period that ended on 17th October 2016, and the contract is scheduled to commence on 5th December 2016 and conclude on 10th February 2017. The method of procurement is categorised as "Other", with a total award value of £98,000, which has been contracted to Ernst & Young LLP.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) looking to engage in public sector contracts. Businesses with expertise in management consultancy and sustainable care services, particularly those focused on innovative delivery models in the social care sector, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Additionally, organisations that can provide insights into the feasibility of public service delivery through local authority models may find this an advantageous opportunity for business growth.

## Notice

Hartlepool Borough Council (HBC) has a requirement to understand the range of options available for the delivery of sustainable, high quality care for older people in Hartlepool, across the continuum of need where the eligibility criteria is met, including but not restricted to domiciliary care and residential / nursing care. This would include the possibility of developing a Local Authority Owned Company (LAOC), as well as other potential delivery models. The Council has concerns about the quality and sustainability of provision for older people and also the terms and conditions offered to care staff by private employers, and wishes to explore the feasibility of such services being provided differently, and potentially through a LAOC.
