The needs of people using the services may vary greatly and packages of care are designed to meet individual circumstances. Where there is good quality care, provided throughout the day, the person may live independently of any continuous support or care between the visits.
The service will be provided for people (Service Users) who have been determined by the Commissioner as having an NHS-funded continuing care entitlement.
The Provider will ensure that the services can be provided 365 days per year, 24 hours a day and in accordance with a Service User’s Care Plan.
— puts the health, safety, quality of life and preferences of the Service User at the centre of care provision,
— supports the health, safety and quality of life of Carers as outlined by the Care Act and National Framework for NHS Continuing Healthcare and NHS-funded Nursing Care,
— care Workers that arrive on time, carry out the commissioned activities, interact with Service Users and stay for the full time that is set out in the Service Users care plan,
— that Care Workers have the required skills to meet their needs, including for Service Users receiving end of life care,
— that the care provided is carried out in a way that shows an understanding of and a concern for the Service Users and their family’s emotional wellbeing.
The service is expected to be procured via an Any Qualified Provider (AQP) process and the NHS Standard contract (Shorter Form Version) will be used with all successful providers. The Contracts are awarded on 0 value 0 volume basis for a period of 2 years with the option to extend for a maximum of 24 months, subject to satisfactory performance and Care Quality Commission (CQC) rating.
