This initiative seeks to re-commission their contracting arrangements for various client groups requiring supported living and community support services, including adults with disabilities and young people transitioning between children's and adult services. Interested parties must submit their feedback by the engagement end date of 4th February 2022. The procurement falls under the health and social work services category, with delivery expected in the South East region of the United Kingdom. This market testing phase presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in health and social services, particularly those offering support for individuals with learning disabilities, physical disabilities, or mental health challenges. Both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are encouraged to participate, as the Council is actively seeking input from existing and potential providers alike. Engaging in this process could facilitate future contract opportunities within the important social care sector. ## Notice Brighton and Hove City Council (the Council) are beginning the process of recommissioning their Supported Living and Community Support contracting arrangements for a range of client groups, including: - Adults with learning disabilities - Adults with physical disabilities - Adults with sensory needs - Adults with acquired brain injuries - Adults who experience mental ill health - Neurodiverse adults, including autism - Adults with multiple and compound need - Adults with substance misuse and Care Act eligible needs - Young people who are due to transition between children and adults services in the above areas. As part of this process, the Council is seeking the views and opinions of providers in these markets, both existing providers and those who do not currently contract with the Council. Please note that this is not a tender process. The Council is currently undertaking preliminary research and this process does not constitute an offer of contract from either party.
