RESOLVED:
That the Cabinet:
1. Accept the tender from the Domiciliary care providers shown in Appendix 1 for admission to the London Borough of Hillingdon framework of Home Care and Outreach Services for Adults and Children. The tenders are for a four-year period from 24th October 2022 to 23 October 2026 and at the value of £23,612,000.
2. Furthermore, agree to extend the existing DPS [Dynamic Purchasing System] for a 3-month period from 27th October 2022 to 26th January 2023 to continue to host providers until the mobilisation of the new framework and the safe and effective transfer of care packages and the TUPE of staff if required, noting that Appendix 2 references a list of these providers.
Reasons for decision
Cabinet agreed a new Framework for Home Care and Outreach Support Services for Adults and Children which would work alongside and complement the existing two lead provider contracts that operate in the Borough and ensure that there were good choices of support for those in need of care.
Cabinet also agreed to extend the dynamic purchasing system for a temporary period to enable the transition to the new framework.
Alternative options considered and rejected
Cabinet could have decided to remain with the two lead providers and a larger number of spot providers for additional services required, which Cabinet considered would be detrimental to quality and compliance.
