## Notice

The Council of the London Borough of Redbridge ("the Authority") sought Tenders from suitably experienced and qualified organisations for the Dynamic Purchasing Systems for the provision of Supported Living Services. A new commissioning model for supported living services for adults with learning disabilities, mental health and autism has been co-designed with our residents, practitioners, providers and carers. The model is strengths based and focuses on achieving improved outcomes for people; preventing people's 'needs escalating, whilst supporting people to maximise their independence. The approach enables providers to work closely with individuals who are referred into their services, to create a bespoke offer for each individual which addresses what is important to them and delivers services which the Council, providers and people themselves will be able to measure. The progression pathway is embedded in the supported living model. It is a person-centred approach which embeds and encourage concept that 'Supported Living' is a part of a person's journey and not the destination. It recognises that every person with a Learning Disability, Mental Health condition or Autism has the potential and opportunity to move to a higher level of functioning if they are given the appropriate care and support. The practice is based on: * Focussing on strengths, rather than a deficit based, assessment and support planning. * With an emphasis on improving and sustaining independence living abilities. * Recognising the difference between maintenance and development needs. * Use goal directed support planning. * Undertake outcome focused reviews. * Take a positive risk management. Some of the outcomes that the council, residents and providers will be able to measure include: * Ensuring quality of life for people with care and support needs. * Delaying and reducing the need for care and support. * Ensuring that people have a positive experience of care and support. * Safeguarding adults whose circumstances make them vulnerable and protect them from avoidable harm.
