Home Care Framework (2025)

Descriptions

Reading Borough Council are completing an ITT exercise for the provision of Home Care Framework.

The Council, as a local authority, has a range of duties under the Care Act 2014. The Council intends to commission the following types of care via this framework. The Service may be a combination of these types but is primarily being purchased to support the Council with meeting these Care Act duties.

 

Long-term Home Care

Packages of care for Individuals living with long-term conditions who have limited or no reablement potential and cannot manage without support. This may include the provision of support for Individuals which is deemed necessary to support their Unpaid Carer. On occasion a waking night (support from a care worker overnight) may also be commissioned.

 

Short-term Reablement

Short-term care packages for Individuals with good or likely reablement potential, to relearn independent living skills to such an extent that the future level of dependency or reliance on adult social care is greatly reduced or not needed at all.

 

Hospital Discharge

Packages requiring a rapid start to facilitate Individuals to return home from hospital. These packages may also be short term and reablement-focused.

Live-in Care

 

Packages where a care worker lives with an Individual in their home so that support can be available 24/7. Schedule 11 provides specific information regarding live-in care.

 

The Service shall predominantly be delivered in an Individual's own home or current residence (which could be temporary). The core service shall be available as required between the times of 06:00 and 23:00, 7 (seven) days a week 365 days of the year.

 

A majority of Individuals requiring home care are aged 65+, but Providers must be able and willing to support Individuals with a range of needs including:

Individuals aged 65 or over

Individuals aged 18-64

Learning disability and neurodiversity
