Enhanced Age Well Services - Wandsworth East Locality

Tender description

Soft-Market Testing Exercise Enhanced Age Well Services - Wandsworth East Locality Adult Social Care and Public Health The Council is undertaking a market consultation exercise to assess the potential interest in delivering Enhanced Age Well Services in the eastern half of Wandsworth. The new service will commence on 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2026, with an optional extension for up to a further three (3) years to 31 March 2029. The estimated contract value is £107,763 per annum. The estimated total value over the full 6 years amounts to £646,578 plus an annual uplift based on the Consumer Price Index. The Care Act 2014 requires local authorities to promote diversity and quality in provision of services to meet the support needs of their local population. Wandsworth Council currently offers a range of day opportunities for older people, adults with dementia, and people with physical and sensory disabilities. These include a mix of open access services (preventative services) for all older people, alongside specialist day services (for residents with assessed eligible needs). The Enhanced Age Well service centres will be open to all residents of the borough aged 60 plus regardless of eligible need (i.e. open access, so the person does not need to approach Adult Social Care (ASC) services for an assessment or referral). This will exclude residents requiring personal care or who wander, unless accompanied by a paid or unpaid carer who can provide personal care and mitigate the risk of wandering. The minimum operating hours will be three days a week (10am to 4pm), plus the equivalent of one extra day a week which is dependent on service user needs (e.g. weekends, evenings or additional weekday). The expected daily attendance is approximately 40 service users. The services will be part of the Council's Wandsworth Voluntary Sector Prevention Offer for older residents. All of the services in this offer are designed to support older residents to maintain their health and wellbeing by tackling the risk factors and conditions that may result in the need for health and social care interventions.
