In light of the fact that you have re-commissioned your homecare contracts very recently (or were scheduled to) could you please answer the questions below?

1. Please list all the providers of homecare services that you currently commission
All contracts with Homecare providers are published on our ProCotnract registration website via the following link: https://www.wokingham.gov.uk/council-and-meetings/open-data/datasets-and-open-data/

2. Please list the start and end date of their contracts
These details can be found on the contracts register.

3. Please tell me how many staff each provider employs to provide this service? (If the exact number is not known, please give an approximate number)
We do not hold this information.

4. Please can you also indicate the nature of each contract? (i.e. whether they are spot contracts or guaranteed a certain number of hours)
These contracts are all Spot contracts except for 3x Hospital Discharge to Assess Block Covid contracts.

5. If the providers are paid for guaranteed hours, please indicate how many each contractor is allocated
The three Hospital Discharge to Assess contracts have guaranteed hours (1 at 50 hours and 2 at 150 hours per week).

6. Do you have any in-house provision of homecare services? If so how many hours in total allocated?
No we do not have in-house provision.
