The session addressed the new collaboration framework with the Generalitat de Catalunya, the new tender for home care services, and the conclusions of the ABSS organizational diagnosis. The first vice-president and regional councilor for Social Rights, Vulnerability, and Citizenship, Montse Rueda, presented the Social Co-responsibility Agreement with Local Entities 2027-2030. This instrument continues the previous Programme Contract and establishes shared commitments and funding for social services over the next four years.
This new framework anticipates an increase in economic and professional resources, as well as the reinforcement of essential services such as basic social care, child and adolescent care, home care, and dependency support. The primary objective is to strengthen proximity social services, enhance the quality of care, and ensure a more equitable response to citizens' needs.
During the session, councilor Míriam Casaramona detailed the new tender for the Home Care Service (SAD). The cost study incorporates improvements outlined in the partial agreement of the Collective Bargaining Agreement for home care companies in Catalonia, signed on September 22, 2025, which includes salary increases and modifications to several articles. The starting price for the tender takes these improvements into account.
Another significant point was the presentation of the organizational diagnosis for the Social Services Basic Area, requested by the Consell Comarcal through a technical resource from the Diputació de Barcelona's Catalogue. According to Montse Rueda, this work analyzes the organization and functioning of basic social services in the eleven municipalities to move towards a more cohesive Basic Area.
