## Summary

The procurement process titled "Care Closer to Home and Supportive Lifestyles Services" is being conducted by Cornwall Council, located in Truro, South West England. This initiative, classified under the Health and social work services industry, is currently in the planning stage, with key dates including an engagement end date of 23rd February 2018. The project, which has a value of £45 million, aims to redesign support services for individuals in their homes and communities, allowing for flexible and innovative care solutions. A significant engagement event is scheduled for 1st November 2017, where potential providers can learn more about the tender and the associated supportive living model.

This tender presents considerable opportunities for businesses looking to expand in the health and social care sector, particularly those providing home care services, supported living, and individual support services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete due to the tender's emphasis on flexible contracting and individual service funds. The initiative's focus on allowing providers to bid for block hours or individual support aligns well with businesses that aim to diversify their services in response to emerging needs within the community.

## Notice

Cornwall Council and NHS Kernow are redesigning the way people are supported at home and in supported living services. We are creating a new model where people's needs can be met flexibly and innovatively, making the most of limited resources, whilst giving the person the maximum levels of choice and control over their lives. We are developing Supportive Lifestyle Services, based on core (shared) hours and introducing the ability of all providers to bid on additional 1:1 support for people via a Dynamic Purchasing System. Giving individuals more choice over who provides them with essential 1:1 support in their home (which may be a supported living scheme) or in the community. This will enable all providers who offer Home Care Services, Supported Living Services, Person Centred Support and Enablement to consider delivering Supportive Lifestyle Services in Cornwall, either by bidding for a block of Core Hours (shared hours) or for individual 1:1 hours through the DPS or via an Individual Service Fund or a Direct Payment. We hope that this will enable more providers to diversify and grow their business into Cornwall and to bid on services for people with an eligible Health or Social Care need; who live in our current supported living schemes, the local community and for the future new opportunities in Cornwall. Alongside this Support Tender, Cornwall is embarking on an ambitious development of Supported Living Housing over the next 8 years and we plan to build and remodel 400 units of accommodation. Providing quality housing and support is central to ensuring our strategic aims of developing independence, enablement, promoting life skills and delivering on outcomes for individuals . If you are interested in hearing more about these developments and our new tender opportunity please book onto the event below. We look forward to meeting you and discussing these exciting opportunities. Description of the event - Aimed at Directors and Development Managers. On the 1/11/2017 we are show-casing this model to all interested providers, prior to full procurement at the end of November. The event will: * Demonstrate and describe our new approach * Provide information about Individual Service Funds and flexible contracts * Give you an opportunity to meet the Commissioners * Ask questions and, * Hear key note speakers discuss how this approach can enable providers to do things more efficiently and effectively.
