The engagement end date is set for 23 February 2018. This tender aims to gather insights from existing service providers and stakeholders to reshape services and promote more independent living for individuals with complex needs. The procurement process is initiated as a tender, focusing on health and social work services, specifically aimed at boosting support options for vulnerable individuals. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses operating in the health and social services sector, particularly those specialising in supported housing, enabling support, and community-based services for individuals with learning disabilities. Companies capable of providing innovative and flexible service options in line with the Care Act 2014 and Suffolk's strategic priorities will be well-positioned to engage with Suffolk County Council in this transformative initiative. Furthermore, existing service providers are encouraged to reach out to express their interest in participating in upcoming engagement events, which could foster future collaboration in delivering these essential services. ## Notice Suffolk County Council Commissioning Services for Vulnerable Adults Suffolk County Council Adult and Community Services are reviewing the commissioning of a number of services including: - Supported housing services for vulnerable adults - Enabling Support services for those with "Enhanced Complex" needs - Community based services for people with a learning disability including day, employment and learning support - Planned respite services and intensive support at times of crisis for people with a learning disability The review is designed to transform support available for people in their daily lives, including support in: - Having safe and secure housing - Being able to live independently in the community - Having choice and control over their lives, support and money - Live the life they want to live (including leisure, employment and other activities) - Coping with crises This transformation will take account of a number influencing factors including: - The aspirations and views of people using existing services and their family carers - The priorities of Suffolk's Joint Learning Disabilities Strategy - The principles of Suffolk Adult and Community Services' Supporting Lives, Connecting Communities strategy - The requirements of the 2014 Care Act - The Health and Social Care integration agenda - Financial reductions facing public services It is likely that services will need to be reshaped in order to offer greater flexibility between services and give people more choice and control over the way they live their lives.
