Market Engagement Questionnaire

Camden Council is exploring commissioning options for a domestic deep cleaning service to be provided to individuals following an Adult Social Care assessment.

This will be a preventative service that has five main objectives: • To reduce the risk of accidents and injuries at home • To reduce the number of unplanned hospital admissions of older people • To support early hospital discharge • To reduce the numbers of older people unnecessarily entering permanent care • To promote people's independence

This new service will support individuals who may be unable to maintain a clean, safe, and healthy environment due to physical disabilities or mental ill health, thereby putting themselves and/or others at risk. Primarily it will provide a one-off cleaning service including a clearing service to deal with hoarding issues. The service will support the reduction of delayed hospital discharge, prevent admissions to hospital and residential care. It will have a clear referral pathway to environmental health and housing services.

Camden Council wishes to gather the views on the possible delivery models and particularly interested in hearing innovative ideas. Organisations are encouraged to complete and return the attached questionnaire by 12.00pm on 27th May 2022.
