Description

Essex County Council (the Council) is seeking to procure a framework of providers to deliver Day Opportunities services for adults with disabilities/physical or sensory impairments and older people as further described in the Service Specification published with the tender documents. The Council wants the services to support adults through a range of purposeful activities outside of their own home, and seeks to increase their independence and confidence within their own community, as well as enabling a break for unpaid carers. The Day Opportunities service in Essex will support the Council in achieving its strategic aims in relation to the cohort of adult these services are gears towards. Providers are required to embed the Council's "Good Lives Approach", embracing the Care Act principles of 'Prevent, Reduce, Delay' and changes the dependency culture of assessing for services to an approach building upon an Adult's assets and the support networks they have in their local communities.
