Notice Title

DPS for the Provision of Care, Support & Accommodation for Adults & Young People (16+), With Complex Learning Disabilities, Physical Disabilities & Mental Health Needs

Notice Description

This service is a dynamic purchasing system for the provision of care, support and accommodation services for adults and young people in transition to adulthood (16+), with complex learning disabilities, physical disabilities and mental health needs, including autism and challenging behaviour.

Lot Information

Community Care and Support (with or without accommodation)

This will centre on support which focuses on people's strengths and existing networks so that they can live as independently as possible. By having a menu of options available this will facilitate choice and control for individuals. We also want to encourage providers who offer innovative solutions that will tailor make support across lives not services (this would also include transitional services into adulthood).This could include: Supported Living (with or without accommodation) Extra Care Housing, Step up/Step Down provision (this could include complex residential placements and emergency provision) Shared Lives Additional information: Given the extension, the DPS is available for new applicants and is live on the Chest/Proactis. Chest: https://www.the-chest.org.uk/ Project Reference: DN438601

Options: The Council has approved an extension of 21 months using modification process for all the onboarded providers from 1st December 2023 until the 1st September 2025. The DPS original term was from 26/11/2018 until 25/11/2021 and it was extended for 2 years until 30th November 2023.

Learning New Skills

This would enable individuals with complex needs to contribute to be a part of the local community, to make new friends and grow support networks beyond their existing relationships. Usually this would be people who live in their own home, with low level support (not 24 hour support). This includes support provided as a result of an assessment of need i.e. people who access services for short periods of time for example day services. This could include: Support into employment and internships Travel training Life skills programmes Day Opportunities Befriending Support for maintaining tenancies Additional information: Given the extension, the DPS is re-opened for new applicants and is live on the Chest/Proactis for round-10. Chest: https://www.the-chest.org.uk/ Project Reference: DN438601

Options: The Council has approved an extension of 21 months for all the onboarded providers from 1st December 2023 until the 1st September 2025. Therefore, CEC has re-opened the DPS for new applications and is live on the Chest/Proactis. The DPS original term was from 26/11/2018 until 25/11/2021 and it was extended for 2 years until 30th November 2023.

Innovation and Specialist Services

This will include innovation and scope for future requirements throughout the life of the DPS, should the Council require additional capacity. This may also see services scoped and issued to providers on the DPS to bid for services. This will allow commissioners to purchase a range of specialist services for individuals, groups and cohorts. Through Lot 3 we envisage the commissioning of specific services including those for specific 'cohorts' where partners see the potential for a new scheme meeting the needs of several people. It could also include the commissioning of specialist services which focus on delivering service provision to individuals with complex needs such as Complex Residential Placements, preventative services and outreach services for days, evenings and weekends that support individuals with a range of different needs. Additional information: Given the extension, the DPS is re-opened for new applicants and is live on the Chest/Proactis for round-10. Chest: https://www.the-chest.org.uk/ Project Reference: DN438601
