The Arrecife City Council has awarded the home help services to the company Clece S.A. for more than two million euros. In this way, the City Council affirms that it guarantees care for about 300 families with dependent elderly people during the next two years.
The company, which will be obliged to subrogate the current staff, has won this tender for the amount of 2,047,192 euros. The signing of the award contract has been carried out electronically, as determined by the electronic administration in the public sector. The contract is established in two annuities of 1,023,596 euros each, plus taxes.
On the morning of this Tuesday, the mayor of Arrecife, Ástrid Pérez, and the councilor of the Social Services, Equality and Immigration Area, María Jesús Tovar, held a working meeting with the representatives of this company in the Canary Islands. Clece was attended by Braulio Hernández Lorenzo, delegate in Las Palmas; Lorenzo López Pérez, social services manager of Clece, and Echedey Navarro Méndez, head of services.
According to the City Council, the company will begin providing services, with the subrogation of current personnel, from November 1. And it is that the Arrecife government group established in the clauses of the technical specifications the mandatory labor subrogation of the current staff who already provide these home help services.
The mayor of Arrecife and the councilor for Social Services affirm that they had prioritized in their government action "to tender these services, which will guarantee families with dependent elderly people to continue receiving this help in their homes, aimed at the care and hygiene of the elderly, mostly bedridden and with degrees of dependency." In this regard, they recall that "until now the service was extended to the previous contractor, with the aggravating factor that the regulations prevented new extensions."
