This procurement process falls under the health and social work services category and is taking place in the Yorkshire and the Humber region. The tender period is open until 9th July 2018, with the contract set to commence on 1st August 2018 and run for one year until 31st July 2019. This opportunity is being pursued through an open procurement method. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses offering health and social care services, particularly those experienced in supporting individuals with complex needs such as autism and ADHD. Companies that are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSE) would be particularly well-suited to participate, especially those with a proven ability to deliver flexible and responsive support in personal care settings. The contract value is estimated at £42,000, highlighting the potential for growth in collaborative service delivery with RMBC. ## Notice Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council (RMBC) are inviting bids from a number of organisations who might be able to provide services that meet RMBC's current needs for Personal Assistant Needs. Organisations are expected to provide the service as per the specification detailed below:- * Weekday support, in school and flexible support on weekends. This is equivalent to a total of 38 hours per week. This includes arriving at the carers' house for 8:30am and traveling to school in the taxi. At school, support is needed throughout the day, which may include school trips. In the afternoon the PA must travel back to the carers address and hand over to the evening carer. These hours are also required during the school holidays to support the child to engage with activities in activities such as the cinema, clubs and activities. * Weekday support for the child's personal care. This is the equivalent to 15 hours per week and will increase the staffing ratio to 2:1. At present this personal care is provided at set times, three times a day. * It is important that staff, are able to drive and have access to a vehicle. * The current Personal Assistant works well and so we would like to explore with the successful provider whether we can use the current worker as part of the package to ensure continuity for the child. * Personal Assistants must have experience of working well with a young person whom has complex needs. It is important that the Personal Assistants have an understanding of Autism, ADHD and its impact on child development. * It is imperative that the child does not miss school as sick leave or annual leave are not covered, therefore the service provider will need to be confident that they can cover such at short notice. * Flexibility and willingness to support the carers on trips away including overnights and weekend working. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ed94c9d5-5949-41af-9762-093b15c84907 | | 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 | 15 Jun 2018 | | Submission deadline | 9 Jul 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Jul 2018 - 31 Jul 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £42,000 | | 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 - 85 - Health and social work services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 15 Jun 2018 at 13:04 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ed94c9d5-5949-41af-9762-093b15c84907 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ed94c9d5-5949-41af-9762-093b15c84907 15th June 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.
