Older Person Care Homes Framework Pre-Market Engagement

Nottinghamshire County Council is undertaking a soft market testing exercise to capture initial ideas and canvass independent views on the potential shape and model of an Older Person Care Homes Framework Agreement. As a result of our local strategy to keep people in their own homes, fewer older people will be living in care homes. They will be supported in their own homes, or in supported accommodation. Where a care home is deemed appropriate, older people will be supported to maintain their independence and to be a part of their community. The desired outcome of this exercise is for commissioners to obtain information and insight from providers of this type of service in shaping the new contract/service specification. All information gathered from the Soft Market Testing will be carefully considered and analysed by the commissioners. Providers' responses will be anonymised and not shared with competitors for the services. Written submissions are requested from interested providers in the form of a completed questionnaire. Responses should be made using the 'Questionnaire Response Form' and submitted electronically via eastmidstenders.org.
