Market Engagement

Tender description

<p>This is a notice to inform potential bidders about a market engagement event only. The purpose of this market engagement is to further develop the Council&rsquo;s ambitions for Home Care prior to a formal tender process which may be carried out in the future. Islington Council invites any interested organisations to attend a virtual market engagement event to further develop the Council&rsquo;s ambitions for Home Care. The Council&rsquo;s ambitions for Home Care are underpinned by our Adult Social Care vision for Islington to be a place made up of strong, inclusive, and connected communities, where regardless of background, people have fair and equal access to adult social care support that enables residents to live healthy, fulfilling, and independent lives. We believe good Home Care is about enabling residents to live good lives, with dignity, feeling safe and well supported. We want to work collaboratively with service providers to achieve this. In the coming months, Islington will be conducting a procurement exercise to commission a new enabling, more flexible model of Home Care. This event will build on the previous market warming events by providing good practice examples from areas who are currently delivering Home Care in this way and give providers the opportunity to shape the development of the service. Islington Council understands these aspirations will require big changes which will not be achieved quickly. We would like to coproduce this transformation with providers to ensure plans are practical, achievable and reflect the views of the sector.</p> Keywords: Home care, Wellbeing, Support, Care services
