Tender: Plymouth Homecare Light Touch Framework – Adult Homecare and Reablement Services Across Plymouth

About

Plymouth City Council is seeking providers for the Plymouth Homecare Light Touch Framework to supply CQC‑regulated personal care and associated support to adults aged 18 and over who have been assessed as requiring care and support in their own home, with agreed provision for young people transitioning to adult services and for end‑of‑life care where commissioned. This competitive tender under the Procurement Act 2023 requires person‑centred, strengths‑based delivery to meet assessed eligible needs under the Care Act 2014 and the outcomes in individual Care and Support Plans, including personal care (washing, dressing, toileting and continence), nutrition and hydration support, medication prompting/assistance/administration with appropriate recording and escalation, emergency prioritisation and reablement to promote independence. Providers must have local operational capacity and arrangements to deliver across the Plymouth City Council administrative boundaries (predominantly urban with low density rural and coastal terrain) and work collaboratively with the Council, health and community partners and other framework providers to support coordinated care. The framework is anticipated to run for up to nine years with an initial three‑year term and re‑opening at three‑year intervals (3 + 3 + 3).
