Help 2 Live at Home (2024)

The Council is publishing a bespoke Framework under the the Light Touch Regime (Regulations 74 to 77) through which Help 2 Live at Home (2024). It will enable the purchasing, delivery and management of services designed to meet Care Act eligible needs which take place in domestic or community settings. It will cover a wide range of services, including, but not limited to, Domiciliary Care, Extra Care, Live In Care, short-term respite enablement and reablement services which fall within the overall umbrella of CQC regulated home-based care and support. It will be available for Older Adults (usually aged 65+) and Younger Adults (usually 18-64) and will include services for people with a Learning Disability, Physical Disability, Dementia or Mental Health need, and those transitioning from Children's Services.

The new Framework will allow for the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care Board to call off their own contracts, and for the County Council to act as lead commissioner as appropriate, if required. This arrangement would enable The County Council and the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care Board to have a flexible way in which they can purchase a variety of services for both Older and Younger Adults.

Providers wishing to enrol on the Framework will need to apply for the Help 2 Live at Home (2024) Framework Agreement. There is no service specification at Framework level. The specifications and call-off terms and conditions will be bespoke to each call-off (which can be published by the Council and Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care Board). These will be specific to each opportunity and published on a call off by call off basis.
