Description

The Council recognises that there is the opportunity for better decision making and the emergence of new ideas and solutions if the authority can work in much deeper partnership with citizens. Such a relationship of co-design would be quite a change from how things have been done historically, and will require a shared journey of honest learning. In order to establish solid foundations for such a shift in the relationship, Barnsley Council wants to understand what life looks like from the perspective of people with learning disabilities and their families and carers, and what the relationship with the Council currently feels like. More traditional methods of trying to engage stakeholders have had limited success and therefore the ability to reach, inspire and involve people is essential. The council now wishes to commission an independent organisation with experience in conducting a large scale facilitated co-design / co-production exercise to deliver a blueprint for the future with people with a learning disability, their families/carers, council staff, councillors and stakeholders. NOTE: Applicants will need to register their interest against this procurement exercise via YORtender in order to gain access to the tender documents. Applicants will need to register and submit completed tender documents via YORtender www.yortender.co.uk
