Supply of Emergency Childcare and Adult Care Services to UK Shared Business Services Limited

About

UK SHARED BUSINESS SERVICES LIMITED awarded a contract to My Family Care for the supply of emergency care services, valued at £40,000.

The service enables employees to continue attending work when their normal care arrangements break down, by providing rapid access to emergency childcare (for children under 16) and adult/elder care (for those over 16).

The scope includes nannies, nurseries, childminders, school holiday clubs, and care for elderly dependants with specific needs.

All providers must meet stringent care standards: nurseries must be OFSTED registered with at least a 'satisfactory' grade; childminders must be PACEY members and OFSTED/CSSIW registered; nannies must be fully qualified, reference checked, first aid trained, and hold an enhanced DBS certificate; care agencies must be vetted by the Care Quality Commission (or equivalent) with a 'good' or 'excellent' rating, and individual care workers must be interviewed, reference checked, first aid trained, DBS checked, and hold or be working towards NVQ level 2 or 3.

Data security is essential.
