Outsourced Care Act Work

Hampshire County Council invites applications from suitably experienced organisations who wish to be considered for selection to tender for the provision of Outsourced Care Act Work.

Hampshire County Council (HCC) is seeking a suitably qualified and experienced organisation to carry out person centered, strengths-based assessments and reviews, along with associated support planning and any additional assessment work arising under MCA or CHC, in accordance with Care Act 2014 principles and in line with HCC's policies.

This work is to be completed either in person with the individual being assessed/reviewed or on a remote basis (video call). The provider will use Hampshire provided IT devices and access to Hampshire's case management system.
