Description

The Council is tendering for a Support at Home Ethical Flexible Procurement System. Support at home is a crucial element in being able to retain and maintain people's independence for as longa s possible, to support carers, and to reduce and delay the need for more intensive forms of support including hospital and care home admissions. As emphasised in the key objectives of the Commissioning Strategy. The Council is committed to introducing an ethical flexible procurement system (FPS) for support at home which includes; continuous quality development, a closer alignment of support at home with locality teams and a greater emphasis on wellbeing and opportunities for more flexible support packages. The FPS will enhance person centred care in which more people are enabled to seek wider circles of support (reducing long term dependence) but also more people are attracted to work the care profession (helping to increase supply).
