Tender description

This procurement project is the culmination of a commissioning process seeking to achieve the following benefits: 1) Good quality domiciliary care services that deliver ‘what matters’ (as defined by stakeholders to mean flexible, relationship centred and outcome focussed). 2) Affordable (whole life / best value) services. 3) A sustainable and diverse market (meeting Welsh language needs and providing appropriate ‘specialist’ care and support e.g. enhanced workforce standards for supporting people with complex behaviour, acquired brain or spinal injury etc.). 4) Standardised procurement processes, provider terms and conditions across the region — where possible and beneficial. 5) Standardised care pathways / internal process (assessment, reablement, brokerage, invoicing and payments) across North Wales — where possible and beneficial and where this can make efficiencies or deliver benefits across the ‘whole system’.
