Tender: Sheffield City Council Enhanced Care Framework for People Aged 16+ with Learning Disabilities and/or Autism

About

Sheffield City Council is seeking providers for an open Enhanced Care Framework for people aged 16 and over with learning disabilities and/or autism who display behaviours that challenge, including those with a mental health condition. The Framework covers a range of services arranged in Lots and sub-Lots: Lot 1 Enhanced supported living (1.1 support linked with accommodation; 1.2 community care and support), Lot 2 Severe Multiple Disadvantage (2.1 support linked with accommodation; 2.2 community care and support), Lot 3 Care and Nursing Home (3.1 residential care without nursing; 3.2 nursing care with nursing), Lot 4 Planned Enhanced Overnight Short Breaks, Lot 5 Emergency Enhanced Overnight Short Breaks and Lot 6 Crisis/Bridging Support. The Framework has a maximum duration of eight years and must be reopened at least twice; the Council will reopen the Framework after the initial three years from the day of the first award, with the intention that the second Framework will reopen after three years and the third Framework will run for two years. Providers will work to shared objectives of delivering support that meets individual needs and outcomes, improves choice and quality, and promotes independence as the Council shifts to outcomes-based commissioning, with individuals and/or their advocates involved in measuring service success and playing a central role in contract evaluation and management.
