This procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with a submission deadline set for noon on 4th April 2019. The contract will commence on 10th April 2019 and will last for 12 months. The service focuses on diagnostic support for providers of adults' and children's social care in Birmingham, located in the West Midlands region of the United Kingdom, under the main procurement category of services. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in service consultancy and development, particularly those with expertise in care services and systems support. Companies that can provide tailored business diagnostic services, assist in market adaptations, or facilitate service redesign will be well positioned to compete effectively. The initiative not only aids unsuccessful tenderers in redirecting their services but also invites innovative providers to explore new business avenues within the rapidly evolving personal care market. ## Notice Birmingham City Council requires a supplier for the provision of a bespoke business diagnostic support service for home care providers who have been unsuccessful following a recent tender exercise. The Council has made a conscious decision to help support the unsuccessful providers (and of course the affected citizens) and therefore will be giving them a transition period up to 1 year to refocus their business to adapt to the change in their circumstances, some who may have held contracts for a number of years.. Citizens who currently receive services from these providers will have the option to continue using their providers who have not been successful under a direct payment relationship if they wish to do so. The Council is therefore proposing to commission a specialist provider to deliver business diagnostic support and service development support to providers of adults' and children's social care in Birmingham. The support will target providers who were not successful in joining the new 2019 Home Support Framework. The business support will assist the providers with looking at new market opportunities that may include use of personal budgets to fund service delivery, service re-design and new service development and delivery such as the self-funders market i.e. citizens who need care and can pay for it themselves. This contract will be for a period of 12 months commencing 10th April 2019. Registration and use of in-tend is free. All correspondence for this procurement process must be via the in-tend correspondence function.
