Issue details
Variation of the Active Homecare Framework (DPS)
Cabinet is asked to approve the decision to maintain the current supply arrangements with the existing
providers on the Council's homecare framework, awarding contracts that run
until end of 2025.
Providers currently part of the framework (including any successful in joining
through evaluation of the outstanding applications) to continue offering services,
via mini competition, up to end of December 2025.
A mini competition happens when any new package of care is offered to all
providers on the framework at the same time through an electronic system. The
first provider to respond, who can also meet the requirements of the care
package (eg can deliver care at the times of day requested), is the successful
bidder.
