This initiative, titled "Homecare Market Engagement Event in Southend-on-Sea," falls under the health and social work services industry category. The Council is organising a market engagement event on 19th September 2024, from 10:00 to 12:00 at Committee Room 6, Civic Centre, Victoria Avenue, Southend-on-Sea, SS2 6ER. The engagement period ends on 18th September 2024. The event aims to outline the service expectations and discuss the upcoming tender opportunity with prospective providers. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in personalised homecare, short-term reablement services, and enhanced hospital discharge services. SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate. The Council seeks innovative providers who can deliver high-quality, flexible care solutions to help individuals maintain their independence. Businesses capable of enhancing care quality and achieving positive outcomes through inclusive and outcome-focused care management will be well-suited to compete for this procurement. Interested parties should email strategiccommissioning@southend.gov.uk to confirm their participation in the event. ## Notice Southend-on-Sea City Council will shortly be seeking tenders from suitably experienced providers for the provision of our Care at Home services. As part of a wider engagement and consultation, we are inviting stakeholders to a market engagement event to inform the service model and service specification for the provision of this service. The provision of local high-quality "Care at Home" services is a top priority for Southend City Council. The overarching ambition for the next five years and beyond, is to support individuals in maintaining their independence and living within their community for as long as possible. Southend City Council defines "Care at Home" as comprising three essential services: 1. Homecare: Personalised assistance provided to individuals in their own homes, including help with daily tasks, personal hygiene, and medication management. 2. Reablement Service: A short-term intervention aimed at helping people regain independence after illness, injury, or hospitalisation. 3. Southend Enhanced Discharge: A seamless transition from hospital to home, ensuring continuity of care and support. The provider will be required to deliver an innovative approach to achieve positive outcomes, enhance care, and maintain service quality. An inclusive care approach that goes beyond traditional home services, which are outcome focused to encourage flexible care management for positive independence outcomes. The event will be held in person and will include a presentation from our Head of All Age Strategic Commissioning to outline the service and talk through the upcoming tender opportunity.
