Provision of Domiciliary Care Services for Adults-Kirklees Council

The Council wishes to purchase 14,700 hours of Domiciliary Care Services to support people to live successfully in their own homes with an appropriate range of person centred services. The Services are to be provided 365 days and nights each year if required by the Council for Service Users residing within the Kirklees area who have been assessed by the Council as requiring domiciliary support Services to achieve the following: • to provide choice in the domiciliary care market of at least three service providers in each Block Area (therefore, it is unlikely that any Service Provider will be offered more than one block contract in each Block Area); • possibly limiting the number of hours each Service Provider delivers to around 1,200 overall per week in order to reduce the risk to the Service Users in the event of a Service Provider failure; • establishing block contracts for adults; • simplifying the current pricing structures; • absorbing current spot contracts, apart from specialist domiciliary care, into the new blocks. The Council has 12 designated geographical areas covering the area administered by Kirklees Council, and has split each area into 3 blocks of hours. We are tendering a total of 36 blocks amounting to 14,700 hours of Service per week. If successful, each Service Provider must take work anywhere within that Block Area.
