East Sussex County Council is advertising an "Approved List" that will be used to identify providers who meet the quality standards and service delivery requirements to deliver the Home Care Services. The Approved List will be opened at least annually to allow new providers to apply to join and become an 'Approved Provider' throughout the duration of the Contract. The first opportunity to apply will end on 01.04.2022. The Council anticipates awarding the initial contracts on 04.07.2022, with a service commencement date of 30.01.2023 Providers may apply to join the Approved List in order to provide Home Care Services within the county. In addition to joining the list, Approved Providers will have the opportunity to bid for Lead Provider status within geographical areas of the county, as well as for HMP Lewes. Later during 2022, Approved Providers will be able to bid to provide Home Care services to the Council's Extra Care Housing schemes. The Approved List is a delivery model developed under the Light Touch Regime of PCR2015. Full details may be found in the procurement documents.
