Scope of Project:
Bidders are invited for the supply of the First Point of Contact with Reading Adult Social Care. This procurement is covered in two lots:
Lots 1 and 2.
The overall service will be split into 2 Lots. Each Lot will provide an opportunity for an organisation or partnership of organisations (the Provider) to deliver this part of the service. Please note that an organisation may bid for 1 or both Lots. The Council will welcome partnership (or consortium) bids for this service.
o Each Lot will require its own manager and will be required to work seamlessly, positively, and effectively in partnership.
o For Lot 1, the Manager will generally be based in the ASC Civic Offices but also community locations where relevant, to build and maintain effective and close working relationships.
o For Lot 2, the Manager will generally be based in relevant and appropriate community locations to build and maintain effective and close working relationships.
o For Lot 1, the Council envisage that the service could include 1 Team Manager and 3 staff of Function 1s. However, the Provider is to determine and propose the staffing structure based on how they envisage it working best and within budget.
o For Lot 2, the Council envisage that the service could include 1 Team Manager and 3 staff of Function 2s. However, the Provider is to determine and propose the staffing structure based on how they envisage it working best and within budget.
If a Provider bids and is successful for both Lots:
o The service will provide 1 manager to oversee both Lots. The Manager will be based at relevant community location(s) and in the ASC Civic Offices with the expectation of a reasonable presence in both domains, to build and maintain close working relationships.
o There is potential for job swapping between Function 1s and 2s if the Provider sees this as beneficial.
o The Council envisage that the service could include 1 Team Manager, 3 staff of Function 1s and 3 staff of Function 2s. However, the Provider is to determine and propose the staffing structure based on how they envisage it working best and within budget.
