This open procurement process enables interested providers to submit their applications from 1st June 2017 to 5th July 2017, with the initial contract period set to begin on 1st August 2017 and lasting until 30th April 2019. The scope of the tender includes a variety of care services, reflecting the council's commitment to maintain high standards and cater to diverse community needs. This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in care services, particularly those registered with the care inspectorate. Enterprises providing personal care, emotional support, and community services are well-placed to compete for a position on the council's approved list. The awarding of contracts may depend on meeting specific quality standards and criteria, establishing a pathway for service providers to contribute positively to the well-being of individuals in their own homes while potentially expanding their market footprint within the region. ## Notice Notice of Award of new providers on the Scottish Borders Council's approved provider list for the provision of care at home. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The role of Care at Home is to support people and support their carers (as appropriate) to have a good quality of life in their own homes. The service covers both long term care needs and short term intervention which includes personal care and social/emotional support, all in line with re-ablement practices. The service is to cover care at home to children and young people, adults, and older people. Providers are able to choose delivering services to children and young people only, adults and older people only, or a combination of both; however they must be appropriately registered with the care inspectorate for the service they wish to deliver. The service aims to help and support people to sustain, recover or manage their health, skills and abilities to lead independent and fulfilling lives. The service also provides support to those approaching the end of their lives in their own homes, where this is their choice. Successful delivery of the service involves putting the person at the centre of decisions about the way that they want to live and the support that they want to receive. It also requires that services are provided in a way which reflects a strong commitment to the principles set out in the National Care Standards for Care at Home services. The principles are dignity, privacy, choice, safety, realising potential and equality and diversity. It also requires close co-operation with and listening to the views of people who use the service and, where appropriate, obtaining the views of family carers and friends. The process to qualify for participation will be through a set of required minimum standards, a series of quality based questions and price information. The minimum standards and award criteria are as detailed within the document on Public Contracts Scotland Tender. Only those Providers achieving the required minimum standards will be eligible to be considered for inclusion on the list. It is anticipated that each Service Provider qualifying for participation on the list will be awarded an overarching contract. Through this arrangement, Service Providers may be awarded care packages through one of a number of call off mechanisms. A full description of these is contained within the tender information. Please note participation in this list, or the award of any overarching contract does not guarantee that any Service Provider will receive any care package commissions.. Existing participants need not reapply. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT298765 | | Notice type | OJEU - F21 - Social And other Specific Services (Public Contracts) | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Oct 2017 | | Submission deadline | 6 Jul 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 26 Sep 2017 | | Contract period | 1 Aug 2017 - 30 Apr 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SCOTTISH BORDERS COUNCIL | | Locality | NEWTOWN ST BOSWELLS | | Post town | Galashiels | | Postcode | TD6 0SA | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM9 Southern Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM91 Scottish Borders | | Local authority | Scottish Borders | | Electoral ward | Selkirkshire | | Westminster constituency | Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk | | Delivery location | TLM91 Scottish Borders | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 85300000 - Social work and related services - 85310000 - Social work services - 85312000 - Social work services without accommodation ## Release History - 18 Oct 2017 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F21 - Social And other Specific Services (Public Contracts) - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT298765 - 1 Jun 2017 at 00:00 - Tender - OJEU - F21 - Social And other Specific Services (Public Contracts) - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUN284980 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUN284980 Annual Opening 2017 - Care at Home - Scottish Borders Council's approved provider list for the provision of care at home has opened from 1st June 2017 to 5th July 2017.
