This tender is the result of a partnership ambition to adopt a truly joined up approach to commissioning for wellbeing. East Staffordshire Local Strategic Partnership brings together resources from a number of different sources, to find ways of meeting outcomes that matter to us all.
Underpinning the prospectus and future commissioning in East Staffordshire is a desire to achieve a number of core goals or cross cutting principles. They are:
— to co-produce solutions with communities,
— to build community resilience,
— to focus on preventing problems rather than reacting to them,
— to encourage early intervention,
— to reduce social isolation and increase community capacity,
— to raise aspiration,
— to make full use of the assets available to us in East Staffordshire (e.g. parks and green spaces),
— to reduce reliance on the Public Sector.
It is aimed at strengthening community resilience and assets through funding support which promotes good health and wellbeing and helps to prevent situations from getting worse for children, families and adults where there are particular needs. This overall prevention role is vital in managing demand for longer-term support and more expensive services, in turn helping to keep the local health and social care economy sustainable.
We look forward to working in partnership with successful organisations and innovative, enthusiastic people on new ways to use local resources effectively and efficiently – to deliver the impacts and outcomes that will make a difference to people’s lives in East Stafforshire.

Any such action must be brought promptly (generally within 3 months). The Court may order the setting aside of the award decision or may order the Contracting Authority to amend any document and may award damages. If a framework agreement has been entered into the Court may make a declaration of ineffectiveness or may order that the duration of any relevant specific contract be shortened and additionally may award damages. The time limit for seeking such a declaration is generally 30 days from notification of the award (either by award decision notification or contract award notice depending upon the circumstances) or otherwise 6 months.
