Please note:  The State Fiscal Year 2010 NOI submission deadline was Wednesday, April 15, 2009; NOI Applications are no longer being accepted.  The next opportunity to submit a bid will likely be March 2010.  Please monitor this website for future announcements.

You have reached the website for the Homemaker Notification of Intent to Contract (Homemaker NOI). The Homemaker NOI collects Provider information pertaining to the provision of Homemaker and Personal Care services. New Providers bid their proposed hourly billing rate. The Executive Office of Elder Affairs (ELD) oversees the process; the University of Massachusetts maintains the website. Aging Services Access Points (ASAPs), i.e. private, non-profit agencies funded by ELD for the provision of community-based elder services, may only contract with homemaker/personal care Providers who successfully complete the Homemaker NOI.**

The Homemaker NOI process and the unit rates it generates have no bearing on class rates established by Health Care Finance & Policy for certified services such as home health aide, skilled nursing services, or Group Adult Foster Care.

The Homemaker NOI is an annual bid procedure occurring each March. During that time, new Providers may electronically submit their completed NOI documents and unit rate bids. At the same time current NOI Providers may update or amend company information previously posted to this website.

The NOI is conducted electronically. Please note that in order to complete the NOI your computer must be loaded with Adobe Acrobat Writer; the free Adobe Acrobat Reader will not allow you to complete, save or email the forms.

Providers apply once regardless of the number of ASAPs with whomthey want to contract. The FY2010 Bidders’ INDEX will list successful Bidders alphabetically by their legal name. The INDEX will be posted to this website in May 2009.

Once the FY2010 Bidders’ INDEX is posted, successful Bidders may market themselves and solicit contracts. There is no guarantee a Biddersuccessfully completing the NOI will be awarded a contract by anyASAP.
