Overview

Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council is procuring an open framework for domiciliary care services for older and disabled persons, with an estimated value of approximately £99.6 million and a maximum duration of eight years (three years for the first framework, five for the second). The framework will establish a pool of qualified providers to deliver person-centred care in individuals' own homes, including personal care, daily living support, medication support, and enabling approaches, with call-offs allocated through a brokerage-led process based on assessed needs. Social value is a fundamental component, with providers expected to demonstrate contributions to wider social, economic, and environmental outcomes alongside core service delivery.
