Description
Cheshire East Council is committed through its statutory obligations and policies to continuously improve the quality of care and support services provided to adult service users.
We are seeking to commission a provider(s) who can provide an innovative and person centred learning disabilities respite service in Cheshire East. The service will be able to meet a variety of different support needs, ensure positive outcomes which add value to the lives of people with a learning disability and deliver efficiencies in the way that support is provided.
• The service specification for Lots 1 and 2 is for the provision of accommodation-based respite support, within the Cheshire East area.
• The service will provide accommodation and support for adults with a learning disability who may display behaviour that challenges, including those with associated mental health conditions, autism or physical disabilities. The service(s) will be delivered at a building or buildings within easy access of the identified locations.
• The service will be based on a short term supported living model and commissioned on a block contract basis (whether units are occupied or not) and not on usage.
