The intensive support may include; - One to one service - Links, access and coordination of all support service user identifies as required for recovery - Arranging, accompanying and following up on meetings and appointments in support of needs - Regular support arrangements up to 24/7 if required The list is not exhaustive as the scope and duration of the support provision will be determined by the needs of the service user with a goal of declining supports and transitioning into mainstream services where possible. As the design of the service will be to fit to that individuals support needs the market may not be able to fulfil the council's requirements as a sole provider. It is expected that they will rely on other services and should work together to form bids.
