COV - Adult Social Care Resource Allocation System

A Resource Allocation (RAS) solution is being procured to ensure that the Council meets its statutory duties under the Care Act 2014.

The aim of a RAS is to provide a rational and equitable mechanism for calculating the amount of money that might meet an adult's individual eligible social care needs. The current RAS solution is based upon a mathematical algorithm that determines an appropriate figure (referred to as an indicative budget).

The successful solution should not be expected to give a precise cost for each individual that reflects their individual circumstances but should give a reasonably accurate estimate that should enable care and support planning to be undertaken with a budget in mind.

Additional information: Please register via the Council`s e-procurement system - CSW-JETS http://www.csw-jets.co.uk/

CSW-JETS is a sub-regional e-tendering portal run by In-tend. Since February 2010, Coventry; Solihull; Warwickshire; Nuneaton and Bedworth; Rugby alongside other local district Councils have been working together as a shared procurement service. In conjunction with Solihull Community Housing, we have joined together to bring you a collaborative E-Tendering portal.

CSW-JETS enables us to advertise our opportunities across all authorities through the same system. This means that there is a single point of contact for procurement in the sub-region so you only have to register once to receive notifications for all authorities. Registering on the portal will make it easier for local suppliers to find, respond to and be alerted to tender opportunities.

Registration is free, and takes just a few minutes. When complete, you will be able to express interest in any of the Councils'/Authorities' opportunities when they are made available including this tender. In addition, we will be able to access your details whenever we have a requirement, and you may then be invited to tender or quote for work.

Once you are registered and log in to the system you will be able to locate the tender opportunity, express interest and access the documentation.
