ASC22027 - Residential Replacement (Respite) Care for Older People
Descriptions
Worcestershire County Council is inviting applicants to join a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the provision of residential (without nursing) replacement care (also known as respite care or short breaks) for older people (65+). The provision will enable carers to have access to planned replacement care and will also be available to use on an unplanned, emergency basis. The provision of 'replacement care' is important in ensuring each of these Carer outcomes can be achieved: - Being recognised and valued - Having a life of my own - Being supported to maintain my physical and mental wellbeing. The provision will enable carers to have access to planned replacement care, and on an unplanned, emergency basis: 1) Planned Replacement Care - A short term / temporary placement to give the carer a break from their caring role (a period of respite), as far as is possible on dates of their choosing e.g., for a family holiday. Planned replacement care could be booked up to four weeks in advance. 2) Emergency Replacement Care - A short term / temporary placement that is required urgently to cover such eventualities as risk of the individual remaining in their own home or breakdown of a home care package or a change in the person's needs or carer breakdown. The Council is looking to access 30 - 35 residential replacement care beds for older people at multiple locations across the County. The intention is to ensure beds are available in each of Worcestershire's six District Council areas. Beds will be purchased on a spot basis from the DPS. Providers must be registered with CQC for providing 'Accommodation for persons requiring nursing or personal care', and /or 'Treatment of disease, disorder or injury'; and rated "Requires Improvement" or higher by the tender closing date. The Tender will be run as a Light Touch Regime, a modified restricted procedure based on Regulations 28, 65 and 74-76 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, and will comprise of one application stage; selection and evaluation being run concurrently. Only Bidders meeting selection requirements will be considered for evaluation and a place on the DPS. The DPS for the service will be for a period of three years. It is anticipated that contracts will start May 2023. Further details of the Service required and the Tender process are set out in the document set for this Tender.
