Description

Please download the attached questionnaire for full information.

Brighton & Hove City Council is exploring the commissioning of a new Supported Living Service for 4-5 adults with Learning Disabilities, Autism and complex needs in the Sussex area. The service will support discharge from hospital, prevention of hospital admission and enable people to move back to the area. It is envisaged that the service will support people over the longer term but will support move on where this is appropriate.

Individuals who use the service will need to have their own space, access to 24hour staff support and access to high levels of staffing such as 5:1 support, for some individuals at times of exceptional crisis. The provider would need to be experienced in supporting people with such needs, provide an excellent level of Positive Behaviour Support including functional assessments and to work closely with the local authority Clinical and Assessment team.

The commission will be in relation to the care and support provision. We are exploring an application with NHSE for a capital bid to support the property development with a Housing Provider. The Provider would need to work in partnership (under a Service Level Agreement) with the Housing Provider in the development of the property.

We are keen to engage with the provider market regarding this development to inform our commissioning decisions.

It would be appreciated if you could complete the following questions and return to:
