This initiative aims to explore potential providers who can offer a quality live-in care and support service within the health and social work sector. Interested parties should respond by 22nd June 2021, engaging through the Council's Due-North system. The procurement process will centre around providers registered with the Care Quality Commission, specifically those experienced in delivering 24-hour live-in care. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses within the health and social care industry, particularly those specialising in home care services. Companies that are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete. By participating in this soft market engagement, prospective providers can position themselves effectively for future formal procurement opportunities, assisting Cornwall Council in developing a robust business solution for live-in care services. ## Notice Cornwall Council (the Council) is conducting this soft market engagement to gain an understanding of the potential level of interest for the provision of a live-in care and support service in Cornwall. As a minimum the Council is looking for a provider(s) who will work with them to deliver a quality live in care and support service that: - have experience of delivering a twenty-four (24) hour live-in care and support service (or similar) as described in the soft market engagement document, - are registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to provide home care services, - directly employ carers that have been appropriately trained and hold an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS), - will pay all staff employed in providing the service the Real Living Wage as defined by the Living Wage Foundation https://www.livingwage.org.uk. regardless of role and qualifications. The soft market engagement is an information gathering exercise and it is intended that any responses to this soft market engagement will be used by the Council to develop a business proposal. Any such proposal would be subject to the development and approval of a business case, and, as such, this exercise implies no commercial commitment and is not a formal tender document. Participation in this soft market engagement will not prejudice providers participating in any future procurement for the services in this document or any other services. If you are interested in this area of service provision and helping with the Council's soft market engagement you are invited to: - register on the Council's Due-North system https://www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk and express an interest in this project. Complete the "Information Required" section of the soft market engagement document and return it to the Council using the Due North messaging service by the 22nd June 2021. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3c4a1ef7-bfea-42d6-b8ef-a4a759b7aad3 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Jun 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 22 Jun 2021 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CORNWALL COUNCIL | | Locality | TRURO | | Post town | Truro | | Postcode | TR1 3AY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK3 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | ITL 3 | TLK30 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | Local authority | Cornwall | | Electoral ward | Truro Boscawen & Redannick | | Westminster constituency | Truro and Falmouth | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 7 Jun 2021 at 16:10 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3c4a1ef7-bfea-42d6-b8ef-a4a759b7aad3 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3c4a1ef7-bfea-42d6-b8ef-a4a759b7aad3 7th June 2021 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.cornwall.gov.uk - https://www.livingwage.org.uk - https://www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
