Tender: Supported Living Services for Adults with a Learning Disability – Cambridgeshire County Council 10‑Year Framework (Standard & Complex Needs)

About

Cambridgeshire County Council is seeking suppliers for supported living services for adults with a learning disability under an open 10-year framework that will re-open at intervals to allow new and previously unsuccessful providers to apply. The framework is split into two lots: Standard and Complex Needs, and applications for this round close at 12:00 on 4 September 2019. Providers must support good health and wellbeing, recognise higher incidences of long-term conditions and other health problems among people with learning disabilities, and prioritise preventative and palliative services and support to minimise potential impacts on service users; staff must have sufficient and appropriate training and skills to engage people with learning disabilities in health promotion. The Council is moving towards a model focused on progression to help people live as independently as possible at all levels of need, and Peterborough City Council may call off this framework for service users they have assessed as eligible using their own criteria.
