## Summary

The Devon County Council is initiating a tender for the "CP2079-21 Short-term Block Personal Care" project, aimed at addressing the growing demand for personal care services within Devon. The procurement falls under the health and social work services category and is currently in the Planning stage. Interested parties should be aware that the registration of interest must be done through the Supplying the Southwest tendering portal, with additional details being provided in the tender documents. The deadline for submission will be communicated via this portal, emphasising that only providers with a Care Quality Commission rating of "Requires Improvement" or above will be considered eligible.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in personal care and social services, particularly those looking to expand their operations within the Devon area. Companies with a strong quality standing and the capacity to deliver services tailored to community needs are well-suited to participate. The predetermined focus on specific electoral wards and postcode groupings may also benefit local providers with established networks in those communities, allowing them to respond effectively to this growing demand.

## Notice

Devon County Council is interested in procuring a number of small block contract arrangements for Personal Care in particular locations within Devon. There has been an increase in community social care demand and even though market sufficiency has increased there hasn't been enough increase to meet demand. Data has been reviewed to identify the locations and volumes of the block contracts required, with a sharper focus on electoral wards including run groupings and postcode breakdowns. DCC is seeking to undertake a tender process which will include a selection criteria questionnaire and the completion of a quality (award) questionnaire as set out in the tender documents to be published. As a Key quality requirement, the Provider MUST have an overall CQC quality rating of Requires Improvement or above. Providers with any key line of enquiry currently rated as Inadequate by the CQC will not be eligible.
