health and social work services

Domiciliary homecare providers that wish to join the DPS to work with children's and young people will be required to demonstrate that they can deliver the published service specification to the required quality standard at an acceptable cost and meet the accreditation and enrolment criteria (developed in line with the PCR 2015 Crown Commercial Services standard selection questionnaire). In those circumstances where providers on the Council’s existing framework for domiciliary homecare services do not have the capacity to meet the needs of an eligible individual, providers accepted onto the DPS will be invited to apply to deliver the required services. On receipt, applications will be evaluated on the basis of quality and price and a service agreement awarded to the provider achieving the highest score.
