AMCV 303 - 2 Carers in a Car

Tenders are invited from CQC registered care providers to deliver a Night care support service to be known as '2 carers in a car'.

The scheme requires two carers and one vehicle who can travel to any household within the allocated area to provide support between 10pm and 6.30am. The service is required 7 days per week. This support may be assistance for toilet care, to getting into bed at a later time than when regular carers are available, reassurance if just home from hospital, or as an alternative to a hospital admission where night support is required. This scheme enables care support to be provided to a number of people throughout the night. The group of people supported will vary according to need. Please note: this service cannot be delivered unless 2 carers are available - therefore providers should not bid unless they are able to able to ensure this cover at all times.
