- Domiciliary Care Tenders
Domiciliary care is a type of care which allows individuals, or their loved ones, to receive care in the comfort of their own home. Domiciliary Care tenders typically outline the requirements and specifications for the services being sought, such as the type and level of care needed, the number of hours required, and the geographic location of the services. The aim of issuing domiciliary care tenders is to guarantee the provision of high-quality, cost- effective care to those who need support. Additionally, it aims to establish a fair and competitive bidding process that enables businesses of all sizes to offer their services.
Here are a list of common requirements for Domiciliary Care tenders:
– CQC Registration: Majority of buyers publishing framework agreements and dynamic purchasing systems will require care providers to be registered with Care Quality Commission
– the regulator of the health and social care sector in England. This provides the buyer with peace of mind that care providers are capable of delivering the services required.
– Solid Financial Stability: To minimise the potential of service providers entering into administration or insolvency, buyers will often require; copies of recent audited accounts, relevant and appropriate insurance cover, base level of turnover and/or financial forecast.
– Permanence Office: Providers bidding for a tender may be required to have a physical office within the buyers administrative region. This mostly a standard requirement to pre-qualify for a tender as it provides confidence to the buyer of service provision.
- Supported Living Tenders
Supported living Tenders are geared to assist individuals who need help to establish or maintain independent living, whether in their own accommodation or in shared tenancies Individuals who use supported living services can reside in various environments, including shared housing, a property managed by a housing association, or their own rented or owned home. This service is available to adults aged 18 and older who have been assessed as having needs such as learning disabilities or mental health conditions.
Local authorities and housing associations are typical commissioners of such services At AssuredBID, through years of honed industry knowledge and experience, we have accumulated a robust grasp of key areas and criteria to cover when putting forward a tailored bid proposal for a supported living tender.
Here are a few items to consider:
– Independent living skills: Buyers require providers to possess consistent and effective strategies on how to empower individuals to complete everyday tasks inside and out of their homes
– Achievement of outcomes: It is crucial for companies to be precise about how they will determine what is important to each individual and understand their goals. Additionally, they must outline how they will work towards achieving these long-term objectives.
– Choice and control: Supported living services aim to help people live independently. This involves engaging them in shaping the support they receive and assisting them in leading autonomous lives.
- Extra Care Tender
Extra care services, provided by on-site carers and employees, are tailored to each individuals specific needs at the time. Common services required can include; domestic support, personal care, and assistance with everyday daily tasks. The level of care and support can be adjusted according to the person’s changing requirements. Extra care tendering requirements aren’t overly dissimilar to those of Domiciliary Care, however, through the years and knowledge of AssuredBID, we are able to point out differences and areas that further emphasis need to be placed upon particularly with Extra-Care tenders:
– Person-centred care: These services take into account each person’s needs, wishes, preferences, and aspirations. Some individuals might not require care or support while in the program, or they might need it occasionally, such as in emergencies. Others will have a predetermined care plan.
– Outcome Focused Support: Supporting individuals in identifying meaningful targets that enhance their independence involves adopting an enabling approach, which focuses on their abilities rather than their limitations.
– Safeguarding: Ensuring the protection of all individuals living within the scheme involves training staff to recognize and respond to signs of abuse.
– Staffing and workforce: Detailing organizational structures includes specifying who will manage the scheme, as well as outlining recruitment, retention, training, development, and effective rota management strategies.
– Activities and Wellbeing Events: Events tailored to individuals; needs and interests can be organized, such as inviting external partners like the local fire service or pharmacists to give talks, or hosting enjoyable social activities like aerobics classes or arts and crafts sessions.
