The submission route named on the official notice.
This is a large award for Health & Social Care — above three-quarters of comparable contracts. Based on 32,734 valued Health & Social Care tenders in our corpus.
Milton Keynes City Council Council is establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System ("DPS") via www.sproc.net for the provision of Home Care Services for both Adults and Children within Milton Keynes.
The Council is conducting the procurement via the "Light Touch Regime" as set out in the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR 2015).
The Dynamic purchasing system will be split into 2 lots, lot 1 will be for Adult Home Care Services and Lot 2 will be for Children's Home Care Services.
To apply to join the Home Care DPS please follow the below link: https://www.adamproviders.co.uk/milton-keynes-council-home-care-2024-2026 Home Care is the provision of person centred, personal care, enabling care and/or other services that are necessary to maintain a Service User's quality of life, enabling them to remain living in their own home and achieve their specified outcomes.
Home Care is not about doing things for people in a way that increases dependency, but about supporting people to do things for themselves as far as they are able.
The Service will achieve a primary objective of enabling people in the Milton Keynes community to remain living at home for as long as possible and maintaining an excellent quality of life which meets the Service User's identified outcomes.
Home Care services will be available 365 (366 in leap years) days a year between the core hours of 6.30am and 10.30pm.
Providers are required to confirm their flexibility of timing outside of these core hours to reflect a person centred approach to the provision of night support services.
During the enrolment stage (via the DPS), provider will have an opportunity to select their core hours and flexible hours (overnight).
The Council will collaborate with the Provider to ensure continuity of care and that the needs of the Service User are met.
