Home Care and Support Services 2018

The London Borough of Sutton ("the council") intends to commission Home Care and Support services to support the independence and wellbeing of Sutton service users with care needs. It is a priority for the council that Sutton citizens are able to live independently at home. The council wishes to commission personalised, enabling and re-abling home care services which support people to retain their independence and continue to live in their own homes. The ultimate aim is that the quality of life of Sutton residents receiving home care services is enhanced. The council operates a new Locality model for home care arrangements commissioned by the council on behalf of older and disabled people with assessed care needs. Providers delivering the Locality model will be expected and encouraged to innovate and move beyond 'time and task' to personalised and outcomes focussed care arrangements. Following procurement in 2017 in has become necessary to re-tender for both the Locality A and Locality B Lead Provider contracts to ensure we have high quality services in place for Sutton residents.
