Open Framework for the Provision of Homecare Services

Description

Provision of Homecare services for Cumberland. Lot 1: All award criteria are stated in the procurement documents only. Lot 1 will make up the majority of Homecare commissioned, during the first few years. Homecare Packages will be advertised via a method set by the Council and awarded under Lot 1 using the following approach: The Council will advertise to all Framework Providers (where Providers indicate they wish to deliver). Providers will submit offers. Offers will be reviewed and awarded based on Customer choice or by the ranking as set out in the contract terms. Accepted offers will become individual call offs/instructions (currently known as “Service Agreements” or “SPOs”). Lot 2: All award criteria are stated in the procurement documents only. Lot 2 will be used to commission Homecare where there is an identified need to do things differently or to meet a specific need or demand that cannot be met via Lot 1. Work under Lot 2 will be awarded via mini-competition where Providers will be invited to tender via The Chest.
