II.1.4) Short description
The Council requires a Managed Service for the Completion of Social Care Reviews (the
Review); these will predominantly be reviews 6-8 week post care package commencement,
although it is envisaged that the Provider may be required to undertake other reviews, at
different timeframes. Reviews will be undertaken to a standard which is Care Act 2014
compliant. This may be the first opportunity to review a newly implemented package of
support.
Reviews must be undertaken to align with the Council’s ambition to support people to
maximise their independence in their own homes, through an approach which builds on their
strengths, and which identifies and utilises community support which is available in their
locality.
The Review allows opportunity for a review of outcomes, both in terms of the service offer to
sustain and support people to live as independently as possible, and to make the most
effective use of what can be provided locally to support people’s independence, where that
is appropriate.
This procurement is conducted under the OPEN PROCEDURE.
