RCC- 1422 TENDER FOR OLDER PEOPLE’S RESIDENTIAL CARE PROVISION RUTLAND COUNTY COUNCIL

Opportunity overview

The Council went to tender to secure the provision of block beds within a number of suitably experienced providers who will, between them, provide an agreed number of residential, nursing and respite beds to older people in the County. Rutland has an ageing population and requires the beds to meet the needs of our older people. The Council is seeking to contract with more than one provider to establish a level of choice for service users and to ensure a range of provision. The provision commissioned will: § Improve quality of life for individuals § Reduce health and wellbeing risks for individuals § Maintain individual’s health and independence for as long as possible § Safeguard individuals Block beds will be purchased at the Council’s weekly rates. Where a provider holds an existing contract of block beds with the Council and is awarded a new contract they will utilise the new contract for those existing beds at contract commencement. Where a provider has Spot Purchased beds at Council rates, at the commencement of the contract those beds will become part of their block bed contract. Where a provider has a self-funder in their home that subsequently needs the Council to fund their care, the provider will use (when available) one of their block beds for this individual
