## Summary

The procurement process titled "CC8954 - Core and Cluster Service" was initiated by West Lothian Council, located in Livingston, UK. This open tender aimed to provide flexible care and support for five adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Learning Disabilities, facilitating their transition from residential care to a community setting. The contract, valued at £992,700, was awarded to Leonard Cheshire Disability on 24th June 2019, and the related processes were completed successfully. The service requires ongoing support in a Core and Cluster living environment, which is expected to enhance the quality of care for the service users.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in care services, particularly those experienced in supporting individuals with Autism and Learning Disabilities. Companies that offer innovative and quality-driven care solutions could successfully compete for similar contracts in the future, especially those focused on community-based services. Businesses in the social care sector, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), would find this procurement process particularly relevant as it aligns with the evolving landscape of personalised care services in the community.

## Notice

Flexible care and support to 5 adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder / Learning Disabilities and associated complexities moving from in-house residential provision into the community in a Core and Cluster living environment

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The contract will provide flexible care and support to 5 adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder / Learning Disabilities and associated complexities moving from in-house residential provision into the community in a Core and Cluster living environment. Ongoing flexible care and support will be required 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to assist the service users to achieve their assessed personalised outcomes and maximise their potential. The service users will be accommodated in newbuild flats in the Dedridge area of Livingston. Although the contract focuses on the 'Core' component of the Service in the first instance, the proposed model forms part of a re-design of Learning Disability Services in the West Lothian locality and the 'cluster' element will be developed at a later date by WLHSCP whereby care and support will be offered to residents in geographical proximity to the Core.
