The brief

Scope of Project: Bidders are invited for the supply of the First Point of Contact with Reading Adult Social Care.

This procurement is covered in two lots: Lots 1 and 2.

The overall service will be split into 2 Lots.

Each Lot will provide an opportunity for an organisation or partnership of organisations (the Provider) to deliver this part of the service.

Please note that an organisation may bid for 1 or both Lots.

The Council will welcome partnership (or consortium) bids for this service. o Each Lot will require its own manager and will be required to work seamlessly, positively, and effectively in partnership. o For Lot 1, the Manager will generally be based in the ASC Civic Offices but also community locations where relevant, to build and maintain effective and close working relationships. o For Lot 2, the Manager will generally be based in relevant and appropriate community locations to build and maintain effective and close working relationships. o For Lot 1, the Council envisage that the service could include 1 Team Manager and 3 staff of Function 1s.

However, the Provider is to determine and propose the staffing structure based on how they envisage it working best and within budget. o For Lot 2, the Council envisage that the service could include 1 Team Manager and 3 staff of Function 2s.

However, the Provider is to determine and propose the staffing structure based on how they envisage it working best and within budget.

If a Provider bids and is successful for both Lots: o The service will provide 1 manager to oversee both Lots.

The Manager will be based at relevant community location(s) and in the ASC Civic Offices with the expectation of a reasonable presence in both domains, to build and maintain close working relationships. o There is potential for job swapping between Function 1s and 2s if the Provider sees this as beneficial. o The Council envisage that the service could include 1 Team Manager, 3 staff of Function 1s and 3 staff of Function 2s.

However, the Provider is to determine and propose the staffing structure based on how they envisage it working best and within budget.

Bidders are welcome to submit bids for both lots, and each lot submission will be evaluated separately.

This means bidders are not guaranteed to win for both lots if bidding for two.
