WCC/RBKC Homecare and Reablement Framework.

Description

Westminster City Council and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea are recommissioning their current homecare services and are seeking a range of Providers for inclusion on a closed framework agreement who can demonstrate a strong record of accomplishment in the delivery of domiciliary homecare services for adults. This opportunity is offered via a Multi-Lot Framework, consisting of 5 Lots in total. Service Overview: The homecare service will provide care and support to people in their own homes. This procurement is being conducted under the Light Touch Regime, providing flexibility in defining the procurement process. The Framework is a two-stage light touch process with restricted tender principles in accordance with Regulation 76 of the PCR. Framework Details: The Homecare Framework is based on a core neighbourhood approach, with the main Lot 1 providing the majority of the homecare provision across the boroughs, enhanced and supported by provision across a further four Lots. The Framework consists of five Lots, allowing the Councils to purchase packages of care on a spot basis in line with the call-off arrangements described within the ITT Pack.
