In plain English

Leeds City Council wants a provider to run a short-term home support service. It helps people leave hospital safely by providing temporary re-enabling care at home, so they can regain independence while their longer-term care needs are assessed. The service can also support people living in the community who would benefit from the same approach, and must absorb extra demand during seasonal peaks or staff shortages elsewhere.

What the buyer wants

• Deliver personal care and re-enabling support in people's own homes, helping them rebuild daily living skills after hospital discharge or in the community. • Carry out assessments over a set period to establish each person's future care and support needs, and report findings back to the council. • Flex capacity up or down to cover seasonal demand surges and overflow from the council's Active Recovery services, with the staffing to do so.

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

The need for CQC-registered home care, a workforce that can flex at short notice, and a contract value of around £2 million will likely rule out most small businesses unless they already operate at scale in Leeds.

How to bid

This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
