Health and social work services

Tender description

This application was for Lot 2 of the Framework for supported living for adults. This lot is linked to the Transforming Care Programme (TCP) and is for providers of support to people with a learning disability and/or autism who display behaviour that challenges, including those with a mental health condition. Transforming care is all about improving health and care services so that more people can live in the community, with the right support, and close to home. Successful providers for Lot 2 will provide supported living care and support packages for individuals leaving hospital or at risk of admission to secure in-patient facilities arrangements in the future. Providers were invited to apply for Lot 2 who can offer: 1) Timely and efficient design and delivery of personalized support and packages of care, by working with people’s ‘circles of support’, to those people who are stepping down from specialist/secure in-patient services; 2) More robust community placements to those at risk of admission to specialist hospitals; 3) Work with community learning disability, mental health, autism and criminal justice services to identify people who may become at risk of hospital admission, or more robust community placements, thereby preventing service or carer breakdown, and sharing practice across the system.
