## Summary

The Devon County Council is currently engaged in the procurement of "CP2079-21 Block Personal Care" services, targeting the health and social work services sector within Devon, England. The procurement is at the award stage, having been announced on 5th November 2021, following the completion of the tender process which ended on 3rd September 2021.

Interested businesses should take note of the council's quality requirements; eligible providers must have a CQC rating of 'Requires Improvement' or above.

This tender represents considerable opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations capable of delivering personal care services in a home setting. With the increasing demand for community social care in Devon, businesses that can efficiently provide personal care packages—particularly those that can support the specific needs of the local community—will find this an advantageous opportunity. Furthermore, attending the pre-tender bidder event that took place on 9th August can help bidders align their proposals with the council's expectations and requirements.

## Notice

The proposed block contracts will have the following features: * To provide the regulated activity 'personal care' in the individuals own home. This may include double handed care packages. * The block contract will take precedence for new care packages to be referred via our Arranging Support Teams * It is expected that packages of care commissioned through the short-term block contract vehicle will pass to a provider's core-business on the personal care standard banded rate contract upon termination of the block contract arrangement. * The block volume will be paid at DCC's existing banded rates of PS22.28 or PS24.72 depending on the area the block covers. * Each individual contract will run for three months from the date of its agreed start date. Not in scope: Night sleep & waking night support is not in scope of this contract. As a Key quality requirement, the Provider MUST have an overall CQC quality rating of Requires Improvement or above.
