The tender is currently in the active stage and will close for submissions on 9th March 2018. This service entails providing emergency care within a swift timeframe of up to one hour in situations where informal caregivers are unable to fulfil their care responsibilities. The contract will commence on 1st April 2018 and will extend for three years, concluding on 31st March 2021. This procurement process follows an open procedure, with a total budget of £46,500 available for this service. This tender presents an opportunity for experienced, registered care providers to engage in the provision of emergency care services, thereby fostering growth in the sector. Businesses that specialise in health and social work services, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs), would be well-positioned to compete effectively for this contract. The demand for flexible and responsive care solutions in emergency situations is increasing, making this a vital opportunity for providers looking to expand their service offerings and client base. ## Notice Expressions of interest are invited from suitably experienced, Registered Care Providers who can provide standby care to be accessed in an emergency situation for a period of up to 48 hours or 72 hours over a bank holiday. The Carers' Emergency Service will provide care in an emergency situation when the informal carer cannot provide their usual substantial level of care to a relative or friend due to an unforeseen situation such as ill health, accident or admission to hospital. It is expected that care will be provided on the day of the request, within 1 hour if necessary, and may be for short periods of time to undertake specific tasks or for up to 24 hour care in the home. The Provider will replace the care normally provided by the informal carer based on a previously agreed support plan devised as a result of a Carers Assessment and the Carer's registration to the Carers Emergency Scheme. Carer registration to the scheme is administered by RMBC. Arrangements will be made for care to be provided by other means should the informal carer be incapacitated for longer than this period. There is no guarantee of business for Providers under this Agreement. Payment for actual service will be made per activation at the agreed hourly rate by monthly invoice. By entering into this contract the successful Provider must accept all requests for service that fulfil the activation criteria and be able to provide service within an hour of the request if required. Requests may be made outside normal office hours. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f4b6dae2-9e81-447d-8fb7-9bfd356caade | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Feb 2018 | | Submission deadline | 9 Mar 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2018 - 31 Mar 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £46,500 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ROTHERHAM MBC | | Locality | ROTHERHAM | | Post town | Sheffield | | Postcode | S60 1AE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE3 South Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE34 Rotherham | | Local authority | Rotherham | | Electoral ward | Boston Castle | | Westminster constituency | Rotherham | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 33 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products - 85 - Health and social work services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 33000000 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 20 Feb 2018 at 16:58 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f4b6dae2-9e81-447d-8fb7-9bfd356caade ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f4b6dae2-9e81-447d-8fb7-9bfd356caade 20th February 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.rotherham.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
