Tender description

Brighton and Hove City Council is establishing a dynamic purchasing system for the provision of Home Care services for Adults. The Council is seeking to establish a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to award individual service agreements for the provision of home care services to residents. Organisations who have registered offices with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) will have the opportunity to tender to provide home care services to individuals aged and 18 over with a council-assessed care need. The DPS is intended as an additional referral route for the Council's existing contractual arrangements — the DPS will be used where a suitable provider cannot be found via the current contract. The Council reserves the right to amend this referral route as required. Providers will be subject to quality checks and Key Performance Indicators as part of their service delivery. Providers will be required to deliver the services detailed in the specification in line with the service user's care and support requirements. Providers will be required to record delivery of services using the adam system, logging their entry and exit times using the Electronic Call Monitoring (ECM) tool. The Council reserves the right to amend and introduce additional Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) throughout the life of the contract, including but not limited to KPIs relating to the required use of the ECM, service user outcomes and additional compliance.
