Tender: Renfrewshire Council Reopens Flexible Framework for Care at Home and Housing Support Services

About

Renfrewshire Council is seeking providers to join its existing Flexible Framework for Care at Home and Housing Support Services under the Renfrewshire Health and Social Care Partnership (RHSCP). The framework allows RHSCP to purchase tailored, responsive care and housing support—predominantly to help older people live independently in their own homes, with occasional placements for children’s services—delivered 24 hours a day, 52 weeks a year including public holidays, with package sizes varying according to assessed needs. The framework sits within the ‘Social and Other Specific Services’ category under section 7 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 and is being reopened so new entrants can apply throughout its duration using the same appointment process and minimum criteria as the original tender. Tenderers must meet specified minimum requirements, including two examples of similar service delivery within the last three years, Care Inspectorate registration for a Combined Support Service (or ongoing application), a Care Inspectorate minimum quality grade of 3 for all key questions, SSSC registration and PVG checks, insurance, financial standing, health and safety and cyber security provisions; submissions that do not meet these criteria will be excluded from appointment.
