Abstract

Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust (the ‘Trust’) and its partners Torbay Council and Devon CCG are inviting Providers to apply for the provision of a domiciliary Escalation Care service in Torbay.

This Escalation Care Service (ECS) is a 7-days a week service to prevent delayed transfers of care from hospital setting, meet the increasing need in the community, and to avoid unnecessary admissions by providing rapid care and support which promotes independence and enables clients to live as independently as possible in their own homes with the right support.

The Trust recognises that recruitment and retention is difficult in the current circumstance and therefore has divided its requirements up into the following three (3) lots:

Lot 1 – starting with 200 (block) hours per week, contract period = 1yr + 1yr + 1yr

Lot 2 – starting with 200 (block) hours per week, contract period = 6m + 6m + 6m

Lot 3 – starting with 150 (block) hours per week, contract period = 6m + 6m

In providing the services, the provider is required to be registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and to maintain that registration throughout the contract period. All service providers must meet the ‘fundamental standards’ as set out in Part 3 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014 (as amended) (the ‘Fundamental Standards’) and Part 4 of the Care Quality Commission (Registration) Regulations 2009 (as amended).

This procurement is under the 'Light Touch' provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (Chapter 3, Section 7 - Social and Other Specific Services).

Procurement

This procurement is open to all Providers currently in the Domiciliary Care or Live-In Care market or considering a move into either market within the geographic area of Torbay. It is anticipated that delivery of the services will begin 1st November 2021. The length of contract will depend on which Lot the provider applies for and is successful in.

All potential Providers who wish to be considered will be required to complete an Invitation to Participate Pack. To register interest in applying and to download (free of charge) procurement documents, please go to https://uk.eu-supply.com/login.asp?B=NHSSW

Click on 'Current tender opportunities' and follow the on screen instructions. You will be given the opportunity to view the ‘generic’ specification prior to expressing an interest.

Please note that expressions of interest will not be accepted by any means other than through the EU-Supply e-tendering system.

The closing date for this window is before 12:00 noon on Tuesday 17th August 2021.

The Services to which this Procurement relates fall within Schedule 3 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (the 'Regulations'). As such, the procurement of the Services is being run as a bespoke, single stage application process akin to the Open procedure which are outlined within the suite of procurement documents. TSDFT does not intend to hold itself bound by any of the Regulations, save those applicable to Schedule 3 Services.
