Tender description

The Department of Health and Social Care (the "Authority") is inviting tenders from suitably experienced and qualified suppliers for the provision of Continuous Adult Social care (ASC) and Public health Improvement for Local Authorities and Practitioners. The aim of this procurement is to provide a comprehensive, evidence-based programme of support and improvement activity that helps local authorities and practitioners deliver adult social care and public health statutory duties and improve services so that everyone can access high quality care that enables choice, control and independence. The programme will identify the support needs of local authorities and social care practitioners and design and deliver support and improvement activity in response. This support should include the delivery of digital evidence-based best practice materials, practical tools, and training across the adult social care and public health systems that is tailored to a diverse range of national, regional and local needs. The programme offers tailored support to local authorities, where particular needs have been identified through self-assessment or through CQC assurance, and work with the Authority and its other partners to target support and improvement activity to where it is most needed. The contract shall be initially for a duration of 9 months but may be extended at authority's sole discretion subjected to business approval and funds availability.
