## Summary

The Portsmouth City Council is currently conducting a tender for the "Domiciliary Care Intervention Event," aimed at enhancing social care services through a systems-thinking approach. This procurement falls within the social work services category and is located in Portsmouth, Hampshire. The tender is active and the submission period closes on 9th December 2019. If successful, the contract will commence on 1st February 2020 and run until 31st March 2029, highlighting a significant long-term opportunity for service providers. The procurement method is classified as 'Other,' indicating a bespoke approach may be used to select a suitable provider.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for care service providers and organisations specialising in community health services, particularly those experienced in delivering innovative social care solutions. Businesses that can demonstrate an understanding of systems-thinking methodologies and a capacity for collaboration will be well-positioned to compete. The engagement with Portsmouth City Council in this pilot initiative could foster advantageous partnerships, paving the way for future contracts and contributing to the transformation of social care delivery on a larger scale.

## Notice

The Domiciliary Care Intervention has been the latest in a series of systems-thinking interventions completed by Portsmouth City Council (PCC) in recent years. The interventions are used to improve services from a customer-focused approach and are guided by the Vanguard Method for Systems Thinking, an approach deployed by the likes of Aviva and Barclaycard Germany. The method is indebted to the managerial philosophy of W Edwards Deming, the American systems thinker credited by the Japanese government as the principal architect of the so-called 'Japanese Economic Miracle'. A Vanguard intervention comprises three phases: 'Check', where the existing system is studied; 'Redesign', an experimental period where a prototype service is developed based on hypotheses which emerged from 'Check'; and 'Roll in', where staff and customers are gradually 'rolled in' to the new service. Domiciliary Care was studied in 2018 through this model and we trialled a redesigned process earlier this year with a prototype model developed. We now wish to explore whether providers would be interested in working in this new way with us, exploring together with us how this might work, which would enable us to deliver this model at a greater scale, and which could ultimately lead to city wide delivery.
