This service aims to help alleviate pressure in hospitals by assessing individuals for ongoing domiciliary care needs. The procurement falls under the social services category and is open to service providers in the health and social work services industry. The tender involves a 10-month pilot scheme expected to run until 17th November 2023, with a framework model engaging up to four domiciliary care providers to deliver a Rapid Response Team. This tender by Cardiff Council presents an opportunity for service providers in the health and social work services sector to engage in a City-Wide pilot scheme aimed at supporting safe hospital discharges and evaluating long-term care needs in individuals' homes. Businesses offering domiciliary care services, particularly those experienced in rapid response care and reablement assessment, would be well-suited to compete in this procurement process. The evaluation criteria for the award include both quality and cost, making it essential for interested bidders to showcase their capabilities in delivering high-quality care services efficiently. ## Notice Rapid response domiciliary care service to help alleviate pressure in hospital and to assess people for the level of need for ongoing domiciliary care. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Cardiff Council recently sought to commission 4 providers to deliver the original D2RA Winter pressures contract, unfortunately only 3 were able to be appointed and there have been some changes with the awarded Domiciliary Care Providers. As a result of this and some additional pressures it is necessary to commission up to a further 4 Domiciliary Care Providers to deliver Rapid Response to Reablement Assessment (D2RA) Domiciliary Care Services across the City. This will continue to be part of the original pilot as a second Framework arrangement to ensure sufficient capacity is available to support the safe discharge from hospital for individuals to return to their home. These packages of care will support individuals who are medically fit and discharge ready to leave hospital but require a period of assessment to take place in their own home to determine their long- term level of need. It is intended that the hours of care purchased within the package of care, will be used to support individuals who have been assessed as requiring support to return home following a period in hospital. These are people whose needs would be assessed as requiring a Domiciliary Care package of care. There is the expectation that the initial level of care for some people may be over prescribed, with possibly double handed care being provided initially, in order to safeguard the individual whilst they are assessed in their own home. The Rapid Response Domiciliary Care services will be provided to meet the outcomes of the individual in their own home environment. Within the first 10 working days a review of their care needs will be undertaken by an Occupational Therapist/ Social Worker/Assistant, from within our community teams, they will right-size the package. If the package requires double handed care, the review will take place within the first 3 working days. The proposed model is a City-Wide pilot scheme and is expected that the pilot will be delivered for a period of 10 months ((but no later longer than 17th November 2023) that will address the demands by: Implementing a framework model of service by commissioning a framework of up to four domiciliary care providers to deliver a Rapid Response Team.
