In this market engagement, we would like to explore delivery options in relation to all tasks that a person with eligible social care needs might require that do not require any personal care and are therefore classed as not needing to be provided by a CQC registered organisation. Please note that in these situations, employed staff and volunteers will continue to require vetting through the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). The types of tasks include (but are not limited to) any non-regulated activities for example ordering groceries, preparing meals and drinks, cleaning a person's home, laundry and sitting services. The Council would like to consult the market prior to a potential procurement exercise. It is currently anticipated that a tender may be advertised within the next 12 months and once implemented will have a 12-month duration as a pilot. By expressing an interest in this soft market testing you will get access to our Snap Survey. The responses you provide will inform the Council when deciding whether to proceed to procurement and how to structure/design the service. The last page of the Snap Survey includes information regarding a series of engagement sessions taking place on the 8th and 9th of May 2024. Thank you for your assistance. Your views are important to us.
