Interested parties must submit their tenders by 10:00 AM on 1 March 2018. This procurement falls under the social work services category and is classified as an open procedure, indicating that it is accessible to all interested suppliers.

The service will provide skills assessments, support people with planned skill development, and also deliver support to people to resolve short-term issues and challenges. The successful provider will also carry out Care Act reviews on behalf of Adult Community Services. The provider will work in partnership with the County Council over the life of the contract to explore and develop the service model, including working with other commissioned service providers. The aim of this collaborative and developmental approach is to design the future service requirement for short-term support not only for people with learning disabilities and/or autism, but to include people with mental health problems and other needs.
