Independence at Home Flexible Framework

Descriptions

DUE TO THE HIGH LEVEL OF PROVIDERS NOW ON THE FRAMEWORK AND SIGNIFICANT CAPACITY IN THE MARKET, WE ARE NOT LOOKING TO TAKE NEW PROVIDERS ON TO THE FRAMEWORK AT THIS TIME. If you still wish to apply, please be advised that it may be a significant period of time before your application is processed. Additionally, please note that: 1) Providers who don’t have their registered office in B&NES will not be accepted. 2) Providers will tender their own hourly rate, however the majority of our care is sourced with providers who operate at the B&NES Published Rate (£25.26 per hour, £20.21 per 45 minutes, £15.16 per 30 minutes). We do not source care below this rate, and you are less likely to be awarded packages if you charge above this hourly rate. Bath & North East Somerset Council are establishing an ‘Independence at Home’ (IAH) Flexible Framework. The Flexible Framework will be used for establishing independence at home packages, typically for older people(65+ years old), whose primary support need does not relate to a learning disability, developmental disorder or complex mental health issue. Services commissioned under the Flexible Framework include Homecare and Domiciliary Care, Waking Nights and Sleep-In Nights, and any other services which are intended to be added to the Framework Agreement as a later phase including but not limited to “Live-in Care”. The Flexible Framework is being established by Bath & North East Somerset Council in order to secure packages for both Council-funded and health-funded packages of care.
