If your care home wishes to provide a significant number of placements to us in future and benefit from the preferential fee rates and terms available, you should apply to join Lots 6 and 7 of DCF2 and participate in a further competition.
Our new Care Home Services (non-Framework) Spot Contract replaces previous versions and will be used for all new spot, care home placements made outside of our Major Block, DCF2 and DCF1 Contracts.
Existing placements on previous versions of the non-Framework Spot Contract will continue on the existing terms and conditions until the placement ends.
This new Spot Contract is based on the Service Category Model.
The number of placements that can be made under this new contract will be limited due to the high value of care home services and procurement rules. It will also depend on whether the care home is within or outside of our Purchasing Area.
If your care home wishes to provide a significant number of placements to us in future and benefit from the preferential fee rates and terms available, you should apply to join Lots 6 and 7 of DCF2 and participate in a further competition.
If your care home wishes to provide placements on an ad hoc or occasional basis only, you will want to sign up for the new non-framework Contract.
