In plain English
Rutland County Council is setting up a framework agreement to buy domiciliary care services, meaning they will hire care providers to help people live independently in their own homes. This is a large contract worth over £20 million, and the council will call off (order) care services from approved suppliers as needed.
What the buyer wants
• Provide care workers who visit people in their homes to help with daily living tasks, personal care, and health support • Work in a person-centred way, respecting people's independence and safety • Help prevent or delay people's care needs getting worse through early intervention and integrated support
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: Most small businesses will struggle here: this is a £20m+ framework contract requiring significant capacity, CQC registration (or fast-track readiness), robust HR and compliance systems, and ability to deploy care workers across Rutland on demand. Solo traders and micro-businesses will not be viable.
