The proposed block contracts will have the following features: * To provide the regulated activity 'personal care' in the individuals own home. This may include double handed care packages. * The block contract will take precedence for new care packages to be referred via our Arranging Support Teams * It is expected that packages of care commissioned through the short-term block contract vehicle will pass to a provider's core-business on the personal care standard banded rate contract upon termination of the block contract arrangement. * The block volume will be paid at DCC's existing banded rates of PS22.28 or PS24.72 depending on the area the block covers. * Each individual contract will run for three months from the date of its agreed start date. Not in scope: Night sleep & waking night support is not in scope of this contract. As a Key quality requirement, the Provider MUST have an overall CQC quality rating of Requires Improvement or above.
