## Summary

Trafford Council is conducting a procurement process titled "The Provision of Homecare," aimed at securing temporary homecare services within the health and social work sector for a period of three months. The open procurement method is currently in the award stage, having concluded the tender period on 19th August 2015, with contract delivery expected to commence on 24th August 2015 and run until 23rd November 2015. Interested suppliers are encouraged to engage, particularly those located in the North West region of the United Kingdom, as the council seeks to bolster its capacity to deliver care services across Trafford borough.

This opportunity presents a significant pathway for growth for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) in the health and social care market. With the potential to secure contracts that can accommodate up to 16 care packages from the outset, businesses specializing in homecare and social services are well-suited to compete. Providers need to be prepared for fluctuations in service demand, making this a valuable contract for agile and responsive service providers capable of meeting the needs of Trafford Council's client base effectively.

## Notice

Trafford Council is looking for 3 providers to provide some additional capacity in the market across Trafford borough for a temporary period of 3 months only. The successful providers will need to be ready to deliver week commencing 24th August 2015. The successful providers will be expected to take a minimum of 16 packages of care within the first week of the contract i.e. week commencing 24th August 2015. However, thereafter there is no guarantee of the number of packages as the volume will fluctuate.
