Tender description

Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council (RCT) is acting on behalf of itself and Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council (‘The Contracting Authorities’) for the purposes of the establishment of a framework agreement for the provision of Domiciliary Care Services. Domiciliary Care Services are services that deliver support to a person in their own home, to help them remain independent for as long as possible. There are circa 1 500 people that currently receive these services across RCT and Merthyr, accounting for approximately 15 000 weekly hours of care being delivered by the independent sector. Providers should note that these are current estimated figures and the actual numbers are expected to fluctuate during the term of the framework. Providers are required to deliver a range of domiciliary care services to service user's including but not limited to Elderly Frail, Physical Disability, Mental Health, Substance Misuse and Learning Disability needs. It will be expected that any successful provider be registered with CSSIW for all these types.
