Community Based Care – Framework

Descriptions

THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION. THIS IS A MARKET ENGAGEMENT.

Shropshire Council is currently conducting a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) to gather insights and feedback from potential suppliers operating within the market. The purpose of this engagement is to identify the types of solutions and functionalities available for the procurement of Community Based Care Services. This encompasses Domiciliary Care and Day care, and may, through further engagement, extend to additional areas of provision. The framework aims to consider the opportunity for implementing a comprehensive solution that covers provision for all age groups.

The Council has an established procurement approach for domiciliary care through the 'Approved Provider List' (APL). Additionally, the FCA framework is in place for Learning Disabilities & Autism (LD&A). However, with the implementation of the Procurement Act 2023, the APL is no longer a viable option for procurement delivery. As a result, Shropshire Council is reviewing alternative models to ensure effective and compliant procurement of Community Based Care Services in the future.
