This procurement aims to expand the current Extra Care provision in Harrow by adding three new schemes over the next 2-3 years, increasing capacity from 47 to approximately 170 residents. The tender is currently in the active stage, with bids due by 24th February 2021, coinciding with the start of the award period on the same day. The new schemes, located in Central Harrow, will cater to citizens aged 55 and over who require care and support due to various needs, ensuring an independent living approach that supports personal resilience and well-being. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses in the social care sector, particularly those specialising in health and social work services. Companies that provide innovative care solutions and assistive technology, along with those experienced in working with vulnerable populations, will be well-positioned to compete. The focus on a strengths-based care model suggests a preference for service providers who can deliver personalised care plans and foster partnerships with housing management and other community services to create holistic support systems for the residents of Harrow. ## Notice Harrow Adult Social Care (ASC) are expanding their Extra Care provision from the current one scheme to an additional 3 schemes over the next 2-3 years. This will increase the number of citizens living in an Extra Care scheme and requiring care and wellbeing support from 47 to approximately 170. The current contract for delivering the care support within the existing scheme (which has a total of 47 units) expires at the end of June 2021 and the first of the new schemes, which is under construction, will have 56 units and is due to open in June 2021. Both schemes are located in Central Harrow. The new extra care schemes will expand on the current model recognising the increasing prevalence of dementia and complexity. Extra Care in Harrow is not a replacement for residential care but provides an alternative for citizens who wish to remain living independently for as long as possible with the appropriate care and support and Assistive Technology required to support them to do so and where a Care Act assessment and risk assessment has identified that the citizen is suitable. The care and support will be a strengths-based model of care philosophy that seeks to enable people to become more resilient and do things for themselves rather than having things done for them, including assisting people to re-learn skills where necessary. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Extra Care Schemes are for citizens who are residents in Harrow aged 55 and over with frailty, physical and/or sensory disabilities and/or mild-moderate learning disabilities and/or mild-moderate mental health needs that have been assessed as meeting Care Act eligibility for supporting their social care needs. The Care and Wellbeing service will be provided through two services. The Core 24/7 service - this will deliver general wellbeing support, care and wellbeing support for temporary and unpredictable fluctuations in the citizen's care planned needs, an enhanced service that works in partnership with the landlord and residents to develop and deliver activities to reduce social isolation and an immediate response to emergencies. The flexi service - this will work with the citizen to develop their care plan within the agreed hours of care identified in their Care Act assessment to enable citizens to receive personalised support, including personal care, to help them meet their outcomes. The Housing management and housing related support fall outside the remit of the Care and Wellbeing service but the providers will be expected to work in partnership with these providers and with other health, community and voluntary sector services to ensure a holistic approach to delivery and enable positive outcomes for citizens. Renewal: The initial term is 4 years and 9 months with the option to extend for a further 2 years in periods at the discretion of the Council ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/000489-2021 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Jan 2021 | | Submission deadline | 24 Feb 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | £15,400,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | HARROW COUNCIL | | Locality | HARROW | | Post town | Harrow | | Postcode | HA1 2XY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI7 Outer London - West and North West | | ITL 3 | TLI74 Harrow and Hillingdon | | Local authority | Harrow | | Electoral ward | Marlborough | | Westminster constituency | Harrow West | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 11 Jan 2021 at 14:04 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/000489-2021 ## Notice URLs - http://www.harrow.gov.uk - http://www.londontenders.org - https://ted.europa.eu/udl?uri=TED:NOTICE:397489-2020:TEXT:EN:HTML ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
