What is a Framework? “a framework agreement is a general term for agreements with providers that set out terms and conditions under which specific purchases (call-offs) can be made throughout the term of the agreement” Once providers are registered and approved then we are able to ‘call-off’ the list of providers when we need to fulfil a customers needs and outcomes. Why is it different from a usual framework? – Suppliers can register throughout the duration rather than having set entry times.
Homecare Tiered Framework The framework agreement will take a Two Tiered approach and may or may nor be zoned. Tier 1: Providers in Tier 1 of their zone will receive all referrals in the first instance. Tier 2: Tier 2 providers will receive referrals when Tier 1 providers are unable to meet demand. All tiers will be awarded on the basis of the Quality Questions A set number of providers (per zone) will be selected for Tier 1 Providers who bid for Tier 1 but are unsuccessful will automatically be placed in Tier 2 Tier 1 providers will be monitored to ensure that they are able to meet demand Providers who continually fail to meet the demand criteria may be moved to Tier 2 and a Tier 2 provider could have the opportunity to move up to Tier 1
Key Features of Tiers Key Features of Tier 1 Providers will be able to secure the volume of business. Ability to see the packages of care first Key Features of Tier 2 Open Framework for Tier 2, therefore providers can join at anytime throughout the life of the framework Lighter touch process making the framework more accessible for small local organisations.
Framework call-off criteria Tier 1 providers will receive all referrals in the first instance. The referral will include an anonymised Understanding You D: Assessment and E: My Care and Support Plan Providers will need to respond within a specified timeframe if they can meet the individuals needs Providers will be evaluated on the following criteria: Start Date Price (against set range) Competency e.g. Dementia, End of Life, Nurse Led, Medicine Policy Level If Tier 1 providers are unable to meet the requirements, referrals will be sent to Tier 2, who will go through the same process
Zones in Somerset: 10 minutes group work… How Many zones in Tier 1? 0 zones – just a tiered framework 2 Zones - East and West or North and South 4 Zones - Taunton Deane / Mendip / Sedgemoor / South Somerset 8 Zones – close fit with the current contract How many providers in Tier 1? (in relation to your conclusion on the zone size
Somerset Currently 9 zones – moving to 8
Cost of Care Tier 1 and 2 Price range will be in place for day time and night CHC fast track E of L rates will be set in the first instance
Rural / Urban travel Collection of client contributions There will be no set rural / urban rate . Rurality will be reflected in the range through individual bids The Service Provider is responsible for designing and implementing a system for collection of Service User contributions in line with guidance Robust management and accounting systems and procedures must be in place to monitor the visits and monies collected by the Service Provider
Contract Management The Local Authority will oversee the framework ASC care coordinators will manage sourcing via the framework EoLCC will continue to coordinate supply EoLC once a provider has been sourced via the framework All contracted providers will need to be registered for SAF (Self- Assessment Form) Online which is managed through Proactis.There may be separate arrangements on top of this for CHC. EoL will continue under same arrangements
Meeting demand: 10 minutes group work How will the system ensure capacity is maintained? Think about what this means across the two tiers Think about the geography of Somerset
End of life Care: Fast track Framework will include EOL fast track domiciliary care CCG functions But will begin as a separate Lot to the Homecare Framework EoL fast track to be managed via the CCG EOL care Co ordination Centre Review and development of the pathway over the next year to phase within Homecare framework ( CHC long term conditions included in the Home care Framework)
10 minutes talking: End of life Care, Fast track What are the key elements that are important to you to ensure a smooth move from a separate lot to integrate to the tiered approach?
Process for the Homecare Framework Providers will be required to register an account on Proactis (If you already have an account because you are on LDOF or SAF Online you do not need a separate account) All providers will need to complete the Selection Questionnaire (previously Pre-Qualification Questionnaire) Each Tier will have a set of Quality Questions to respond to All Quality Questions will then be evaluated by a panel
Registration and Tier Selection Outcome Quality Questions – Tier 1 CALL-OFF PROCESS Selection Questionnaire – ALL PROVIDERS Quality Questions – Tier 2
