Care at home framework, Hampshire County Council

Hampshire County Council invite suitably experienced providers to tender for a place on the framework for Care at Home in Hampshire.

The Care at Home framework will replace the current arrangements for commissioning domiciliary care. The change of name is intended to reflect the significance of the change in approach, in particular the council’s desire to develop a partnership and outcomes based approach to the delivery of Care at Home.

In order to achieve a balanced and sustainable market share for suppliers of Care at Home services, work will be divided into designated geographical zones. This will be balanced against current need data and projections of demand across the life of any potential contracts. A geographical area may contain both urban and rural locations with differing commercial pressures and opportunities.

This framework will run for 4 years. The maximum lifetime value for contracts awarded from this framework will be £585 million

TUPE may apply.
