Description

The Borough of Poole is advertising the following tender opportunity, Care & Support for adults with a learning disability and/or Autism across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole.

Bournemouth Borough Council and Borough of Poole, are working in partnership with NHS Dorset Clinical Commissioning Group and are tendering these services in preparation for the new Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Local Authority from 1 April 2019. This tender is being carried out in agreement with Dorset County Council in respect to Christchurch. The tender opportunity is being advertised on the Bournemouth Borough Council procurement portal in preparation for Local Government reorganisation.

As part of the Council's Big Plan 2018-21 strategy for people with a learning disability and in response to the national learning disability Transforming Care agenda and wider SEND reforms this service will support people to live independently within their own home and to access their community.

The Care and Support Framework is primarily for adults with a learning disability and/or Autism,
but it also includes Young People aged 16-18 as part of preparation for adulthood agenda and aims to support the five at risk groups within Transforming Care with the introduction of separate Lots. The Lots contained under the framework have been developed following consultation with providers, professionals, people with learning disabilities and/or autism and family carers.

This is a declared rate framework.

The Lots contained within the Care and Support Framework are:

Lot 1 General Care and support
Lot 2 Complex Health
Lot 3 Behaviours that challenge/Mental Health/Autism
Lot 4 Forensic/ Risk of Offending/Risky Behaviour
Lot 5 Supported Living Schemes
The new Care and Support framework will replace current frameworks and spot contract arrangements across the three local authority areas and is therefore important existing providers consider applying.

The contract is for five years with a possible two year extension.
