We want to work with established, experienced providers who deliver a curious, compassionate and solution focused approach central to delivering a person-centred service. The services we intend to commission are intended for adults, but it is expected that providers, where appropriate have the correct registration to support young adults during transition and working in line with the Preparing for Adulthood (PfA) principles and support delivery of outcomes around employment and training, friendships, relationships and communities, independent living and good health. The services will be split into 4 Lots covering increasing levels of need and complexity. THIS IS RELEASE 2 OF THE FRAMEWORK",
