Description

Wirral Council is undertaking pre-market engagement to inform the development of a new Residential, Nursing and Specialist Care Home Framework. Through this engagement we are seeking feedback from care home providers, sector representatives and system partners to better understand current market conditions, future challenges and opportunities for collaboration. The Council remains committed to supporting people to live independently for as long as possible through preventative and community-based approaches. However, we recognise that care homes continue to play a vital role in supporting people whose needs can no longer be safely met within the community. As demand continues to increase and needs become more complex, the Council is keen to work with providers to develop a future framework that is sustainable, responsive to local needs and able to deliver high-quality outcomes for Wirral residents. Subject Matter Through this engagement, we are seeking feedback from care home providers, sector representatives and system partners to help shape the future framework. We are particularly keen to understand what is working well, where improvements can be made, and how the Council can work collaboratively with providers to develop a sustainable model for the future. The information gathered will help inform future commissioning intentions and framework design. Participation in this exercise does not form part of any procurement process and will not influence any future tender evaluation. As we develop the Framework, we want to understand: • What is currently working well within the care home market and placement process. • What challenges providers are experiencing. • Where there are gaps in provision, capacity or service delivery. • What opportunities exist for innovation and improvement. • What providers consider to be realistic expectations and timescales for admissions and placements. • How the Council can work more effectively with providers to create a sustainable and successful framework. Your feedback will help inform the design of the future Care Home Framework and ensure it reflects the realities of delivering care, supports residents to achieve the best possible outcomes, and creates a strong and sustainable care home market for Wirral. Thank you for taking the time to share your views and expertise.
