The current volume of domiciliary care services provided to adults with learning disabilities and mental health need by the council through its in-house service (if there is such provision), in terms of hours delivered in 2014115. The council does not provide in house domiciliary care services for people with learning disabilities and mental health needs. 2. The current volume of domiciliary care services commissioned by the council from private providers, in terms of hours delivered in 2014115. During 2014-15 the council commissioned 67,287.94 hours of domiciliary care for people with learning disabilities and mental health needs in their own homes. These figures are based on planned hours rather than actual hours delivered. 3. The current contractual arrangements the council has entered into with private providers for the provision of domiciliary care services, i.e. Whether the council has a preferred list of providers, if this is open or closed, whether the council operates with Block contracts, Cost and Volume contracts, Individual Service arrangements (Spot contracts), Supplier framework or other arrangements, when the contract arrangement commenced and the duration of the arrangement. The Council operates an approved list of non-residential service providers which is currently open for LD and MH service providers, but closed for generic service providers of domiciliary care. Those successful domiciliary care providers on the list hold a SPOT contract with Sandwell MBC which were entered into on differing dates (please see Appendix 1). Please note all contracts are open ended and therefore have no end dates, except for one where the contract has now ended.
