The anticipated total value of the contract is £21,000,000 GBP. A key event in this process is the market engagement event scheduled for 29th March 2021, where interested providers will have the opportunity to discuss the Council's vision and provide feedback. The engagement period is set to conclude on 31st August 2021, allowing businesses to prepare their proposals in advance of potential future invitations to tender. This tender presents significant opportunities for growth in the domiciliary care sector, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can offer personal care services. Businesses capable of meeting the Council’s demands for quality, efficiency, and value for money will be well-suited to compete. Given the ongoing implications of COVID-19, there may be additional focus on adaptable service delivery models, making this a timely opportunity for providers keen to enter into collaborative arrangements within the community care landscape. ## Notice Bracknell Forest Council intends to procure a domiciliary care service. Domiciliary Care plays a key role in supporting independence and quality of life, supporting people who live at home to remain there. It also supports the reablement of individuals following hospital admission and is a critical way of delivering the duties arising from the Care Act. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the service is as effective and efficient as possible and that the future commissioning approach has a focus on outcomes, quality and value for money. The service includes personal care. The council currently purchases domiciliary care services through a Community Based Support (CBS) Framework with 3 providers, and a number of spot contracts. The CBS contract for this provision was due to end on 31st August 2021, however in light of COVID-19, arrangements are being made for the service to remain in place until 31st March 2022. Until the new framework is in place the council will consider entering into spot contract arrangements with new providers subject to: * The provider satisfactorily completing the council's due diligence checks * Agreement on price * Demand for service The council will be inviting suitably qualified providers to attend a market engagement event which will offer an opportunity to: * discuss the Council's vision for the service * obtain provider feedback, which will help the council build its model for the service. This is an opportunity to have a conversation with the council when there is not the pressure of bidding for a contract. The event will be on Monday 29th March between 1:30pm and 3:00 pm 2021. Due to the circumstances of Covid-19, the conversation is designed to be virtual, and providers will be invited to participate in a 1.5 hour conversation. A "Teams" meeting invite will be sent to interested parties in advance of the event.
