The aim of the Care in the home Services is to support the development of home care, increasing supply and encouraging innovation, whilst avoiding large-scale disruption of the
market.
The strategic objectives are to procure a sustainable supply of home care across the county which:
Is of a suitable quality, meets the needs of the Service Users and improves their outcomes and experience;

This Platform Agreement is open ended and therefore the total estimated Platform Agreement value is unknown.
The aim of the Care in the home Services is to support the development of home care, increasing supply and encouraging innovation, whilst avoiding large-scale disruption of the market.
The strategic objectives are to procure a sustainable supply of home care across the county which:
Is of a suitable quality, meets the needs of the Service Users and improves their outcomes and experience;
Is timely and responsive;
Is cost effective and within the budget set by the medium-term financial strategy (MTFS);
Reduces use of reablement services to provide home care and delayed transfers of Care; and
Improves recruitment and retention of staff and supports a sustainable market.
The Platform Agreement duration will be flexible and will be in place for a minimum of no less than 4 years from 1st September 2021 - 31st August 2025 with the option to extend by 3 x 12 months to 31st August 2028. No later than 1st September 2024, the Council will review its intentions for any future extension to the Platform Agreement and will notify Suppliers of any future extension period of the Platform Agreement. Any further future
extensions will be notified to the Suppliers no less than 6 months prior to the expiry of any future extension period. Should the Platform Agreement be extended following the minimum Platform Agreement period and should the total estimated Platform Agreement value range be exceeded then the documentation will be updated in line with Public Contract Regulations 2015.
The Services procured under this flexible Platform Agreement fall under the Light Touch Regime of the Procurement Contract Regulations 2015 and therefore a hybrid approach to ensure flexibility of Suppliers to help manage demand fluctuations within Care in the Home will be used. Following the initial closing of the
flexible Platform Agreement and award of Suppliers to each Platform Lot and sub lots, the Council will reopen the Platform Agreement from time to time. This is to give prospective Suppliers from across the UK/EU the opportunity to apply to join the Platform Agreement. The Council reserves the right to reopen the Platform
Agreement and sub lots at other times to help meet demand.
Following the closing of any reopening of the Platform Agreement, the Council will evaluate the submissions against the same award criteria and same process as outlined further in this ITT Procurement Pack. The timescales associated with any reopening of the Platform Agreement will be identified within the procurement documentation issued at the time. Additional information: The Platform Agreement will be flexible and will be in place for a minimum of no less than 4 years from 1st September 2021 - 31st August 2025 with the option to extend by 3 x 12 months to 31st August 2028 .

Respite Care and support enables Carers to take a break from their caring role and evidence suggests that this can help to achieve positive health, wellbeing and quality of life outcomes for Carers. Fewer Carers experienced mental health problems if they had taken a break since beginning their caring role.
The purpose of Care in the home and Carers home and community respite Services are to enable Service Users to remain in their own homes, living as independently as possible and to achieve and maintain their autonomy, independence, personal identity and assessed outcomes.

The Services procured under this flexible Platform Agreement fall under the Light Touch Regime of the Procurement Contract Regulations 2015 and therefore a hybrid approach to ensure flexibility of Suppliers to help manage demand fluctuations within Care in the Home will be used. Following the initial closing of the
flexible Platform Agreement and award of Suppliers to each Platform Lot and sub lots, the Council will reopen the Platform Agreement from time to time. This is to give prospective Suppliers from across the UK/EU the opportunity to apply to join the Platform Agreement. The Council reserves the right to reopen the Platform
