HAC6118 Home Care Services (Domiciliary Care)

London Borough of Tower Hamlets is entering into interim contracts for the continued provision of Home Care services (also known as Domiciliary Care) for the reasons as set out in this Notice.

The Council is seeking to ensure that people who live in Tower Hamlets and who have care and support needs receive high quality home care that promotes their wellbeing, values them as individuals and supports the outcomes that are important to them in their lives, maximise independence and connect them with their community.

The Council is undertaking a detailed internal review of the service delivery requirements to form the procurement strategy for the re-procurement for the delivery of these services in the Borough. Whilst that review is undertaken, the Council is putting in place interim contracts for the award of the services in order to ensure the continued and consistent delivery of these critical services to vulnerable residents.

A re-procurement exercise will be commenced following the conclusion of the Council's internal review, as further detailed in Section IV of this Notice. The interim contracts are being put in place for an initial duration of twelve (12) months, with an option to extend by up to an additional twelve (12) months whilst the internal review and re-procurement exercise is undertaken.
