## Summary

Clackmannanshire Council is seeking a provider for the "Award of Quick Step Service", aimed at delivering personal care to service users as part of their Care at Home framework. This tender falls under the services category and encompasses operations from 7 August 2017 to 31 March 2018, with options for contract extensions to 31 March 2019 and potentially until 31 March 2020. The service is required to be available 15 hours a day, seven days a week, covering the entirety of Clackmannanshire. Proposals were received from prospective suppliers, but it is noted that only one bid was submitted during the procurement process, which is currently at the award stage.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses in the healthcare and social services sector. Companies specialising in home care services, particularly those equipped to provide responsive, short-duration visits, would be well-suited to engage in this tender. The Quick Step service is designed to support individuals transitioning from hospital care, hence businesses offering expertise in care management, as well as those capable of providing trained staff for personal care, will find this procurement particularly advantageous. Successful participation in this contract could enhance a supplier's reputation and expand their client base within the local authority framework.

This service will be an additional service to the existing care at home framework service and, in the main, to support planned discharges from hospital.The care packages will be reviewed on a regular basis with an intention of reducing input as independence of the service user increases.The service will be characterised by the quick, responsive interventions required within 24 hours of referral.The Quick Step service will provide timely personal care and keep Social Services fully informed on the care needs of the individuals in receipt of this service.A joint assessment between Quick Step and Social Services will be carried out within 5 days of the service commencing.
