This tender falls under the "services" category, specifically classified as "Welfare services for the elderly" and "Welfare services for the handicapped." The procurement is currently in the active tender stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 9th March 2020. The contract, valued at £240,000, aims to begin on 1st June 2020 and conclude on 28th October 2021. This opportunity has been advertised through an open procedure procurement method. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in care services, particularly those that focus on elderly welfare and rehabilitation. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-suited to compete, especially those equipped to provide individually tailored care, social activities, and support services aimed at enhancing the independence and well-being of older adults, including those with dementia. Engaging in this contract would not only contribute to community support initiatives but also allow businesses to establish a strong presence in the public sector care market. ## Notice Extra Care housing aims to meet the needs and aspirations of Service Users through the provision of services designed to accommodate changing needs, for example, allowing older people to age in one place and preventing unnecessary and/or emergency hospital or residential care admission. Typically, Extra Care housing provides a supportive environment, offering a range of services, from social activities and low level support (wellbeing service) to individually tailored care services (individually commissioned care). This is often supported by the notion of a 'balanced community'; enabling more active Service Users to support those with a higher level of need. Of increasing importance is the ability to support Service Users within Extra Care housing with dementia to live as independently as possible and be adaptable to meet changing needs and behaviours. Extra Care aims to optimise Service Users' independence through taking an 'enabling', rather than 'doing for' approach to service delivery. The service will include reablement, assisting Service Users to manage, through timely intervention, periods of ill health and/or injury and avoiding unnecessary hospital admission as well as supporting timely hospital discharge following a period of ill health and/or surgery. An ongoing reablement approach will also be delivered throughout all service provision supporting Service Users to remain as independent as they can for as long as possible. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/174ea0d8-267f-44d5-8119-7fb5c3f9f16b | | 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 | 12 Feb 2020 | | Submission deadline | 9 Mar 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 May 2020 - 28 Oct 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £747,746 | | 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 | LEICESTERSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | LEICESTER | | Post town | Leicester | | Postcode | LE3 8RA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF22 Leicestershire CC and Rutland | | Local authority | Blaby | | Electoral ward | Glenfield Faire | | Westminster constituency | Mid Leicestershire | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85311100 - Welfare services for the elderly - 85311200 - Welfare services for the handicapped ## Release History - 12 Feb 2020 at 11:53 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/174ea0d8-267f-44d5-8119-7fb5c3f9f16b - 6 Feb 2020 at 13:19 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/22fa0a9a-595d-4ac2-81ef-31f605560f00 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/174ea0d8-267f-44d5-8119-7fb5c3f9f16b 12th February 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/22fa0a9a-595d-4ac2-81ef-31f605560f00 6th February 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.eastmidstenders.org/index.html ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
