Award of Deal 2030 Care and Support Ethical Framework to 1 Homecare Ltd by Wigan Council

About

Wigan Council awarded a contract to 1 Homecare Ltd for the Deal 2030 Care and Support Ethical Framework, delivering a transformed model of ethical, asset-based care and support.

The framework aims to meet the needs and aspirations of people to live fulfilled lives in their own home, avoiding inappropriate admissions to hospital and residential care.

Providers on the framework must demonstrate that people have real control over their care and support, actively engaging residents, carers, local communities and partners in co-design and development of support packages; show the difference made through an asset-based approach celebrating people's gifts, talents and aspirations; seek solutions that plan to avoid or overcome crisis and focus on people within their natural communities; enable people to develop networks of support and increase community connections; listen to a person's own voice, particularly those not easily heard; consider the needs of family and carers; ensure support is culturally sensitive and relevant to diverse communities; and take into account a person's whole life, including physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual qualities.

Care and support will be delivered by skilled and compassionate workers employed by providers offering excellent services to Wigan residents based on responsible and supportive employment practices, in return for a comprehensive reward and support package.

The contract value is £700,000,000.
