AHSCS5019 Domiciliary and Personal Care Contracts Extension
PDF 227 KBThe current Domiciliary and Personal Care contracts in Tower Hamlets are due to come to an end on 6th February 2022.
Work is underway to re-procure these contracts with a focus on coproduction and an outcomes-based approach. These services are vital to supporting people in their own homes and the engagement of people who use the services and their carers is critical to developing the best possible outcomes framework and specification. An extension of the current contracts for six months will provide sufficient time for this work and approach to be carried out.
The work that has been carried out to date has identified that there could be benefits in the reprocured contract being longer in term then the existing contract, as such a change in the length of the contract from 5 years up to 9 years including extensions (dependant on further consultation with the market), is being sought.
