If you still wish to apply, please be advised that it may be a significant period of time before your application is processed. Additionally, please note that: - Providers who don’t have their registered office in B&NES will not be accepted. - Providers will tender their own hourly rate, however the majority of our care is sourced with providers who operate at the B&NES Published Rate (£25.26 per hour, £20.21 per 45 minutes, £15.16 per 30 minutes). We do not source care below this rate, and you are less likely to be awarded packages if you charge above this hourly rate. Bath & North East Somerset Council are establishing an ‘Independence at Home’ (IAH) Flexible Framework. The Flexible Framework will be used for establishing independence at home packages, typically for older people(65+ years old), whose primary support need does not relate to a learning disability, developmental disorder or complex mental health issue. Services commissioned under the Flexible Framework include Homecare and Domiciliary Care, Waking Nights and Sleep-In Nights, and any other services which are intended to be added to the Framework Agreement as a later phase including but not limited to “Live-in Care”. The Flexible Framework is being established by Bath & North East Somerset Council in order to secure packages for both Council-funded and health-funded packages of care.
