What is being bought

Published requirement description

It has been a challenge for all local authorities nationally, to complete the number of annual

reviews required and to keep pace with a programme of reviews, at a time when the volume

and acuity of need among those from within the community and at point of discharge from

hospital, has been exacerbated by COVID infection.

Kent County Council Adult Social Care has determined that it will meet this challenge to its

statutory duties, by allocating contracts to external agencies to undertake a specified

quantity of review activity on its behalf. This work is to be delivered to a standard which is

Care Act compliant, and which aligns with the Council’s ambition to support people to

maximise their independence in their own homes through an approach which builds on their

strengths and which identifies and makes best use of the offer of community support which

is available in their locality or which may be commissioned to increase such support in future

(i.e. strength based and asset based approaches and practice).

successful Providers will be expected to have the resources available to deliver this

requirement by 21st December 2021.
