The neighbourhood zones will be further divided into Urban and Rural areas, with the following fees paid at pro-rata the hourly rate: Urban rate: £17.00 per hour ### Rural rate: £18.00 per hour Successful providers will be awarded a unique zone and have a share of the work allocated in the central zone on a rotational basis. In recognition of small and medium sized businesses and third sector organisations, please note the Council would also welcome joint bids from organisations seeking to collaborate to deliver the service through a partnership or a lead provider model. The service will deliver personal care to service users with a care need identified following a care assessment carried out by the Council in accordance with the Care Act 2014. The service will take a strengths based approach to providing services and, over time, begin to take a more outcome focussed approach to delivering health and social care. This will be achieved through place-based working, utilising community assets to deliver care through statutory and non-statutory means. The Framework will initially be for four (4) years. However, the Council is proposing a contract with scope for extensions up to seven (7) years to facilitate the development of Integrated Community Teams (ICT's). ICT's will bring together health and social care services in a whole system, preventative approach to maintaining health and wellbeing. The aim of this approach will be to prevent social isolation and health deterioration, reducing unnecessary admissions to hospital. The duration of the Framework will allow the Council to contract with providers who can invest time and resources to deliver these transformational changes. In addition, the Framework duration is required to provide stability for the workforce and to reflect the cost of recruitment, training and potential staff transfers. The Framework duration will enable market stability for home care in the town.
