LBS - Reablement Service

Descriptions

The Council is seeking to award a single Contract to the successful bidder as part of this Procurement and it is anticipated that the Contract will be fully operational by 2 November 2026 (this may be subject to change) and will continue for a period of four (4) years from that date with an option to extend, at the Council’s discretion, for up to four (4) years (two (2) years plus two (2) years) unless terminated in accordance with the Terms and Conditions of the Contract. The estimated total contract value for this procurement is £13.6m.

Due to the short-term nature of Reablement and to support continuity for residents, it is expected that, at contract commencement, most existing packages will not transfer to the successful Supplier and will remain with the incumbent provider until the closure of the package. However, during mobilisation the Council will conduct a review of existing packages to determine whether any packages are appropriate for transfer. It is possible therefore that some existing packages could be transferred if the new provider is willing to accept them. Transfer of existing care packages are therefore potentially within the scope of this Procurement but the contract value is calculated based on current care packages.
