Award of Open Framework for Residential Services for Adults with a Learning Disability by Cambridgeshire County Council

About

Cambridgeshire County Council awarded a contract to Consensus Community Support Limited, TLC Care Homes, Choice Care Group, MidCo Care Limited, and Precious Homes Ltd for residential services for adults with a learning disability under an Open Framework.

The framework was established for a period of 10 years starting 1st May 2018, with a total contract value of AUD 224,000,000.

The framework allows for periodic reopening to permit new and previously unsuccessful providers to apply to join.

The current round closed for submissions on 4th September 2019 at 12:00 midday.

Providers are required to support people with learning disabilities in achieving good health and wellbeing, with a focus on preventative and palliative services and support to minimise potential impacts.

Staff must have sufficient and appropriate training and skills to effectively engage people with learning disabilities in health promotion.

The Council aims to move towards a model that helps people live as independently as possible at all levels of need, with a focus on progression.

Peterborough City Council may call off this framework for service users they have assessed as eligible using their own criteria.
