Market Testing Event – Community Support

·         Older People Domiciliary Support

·         Learning Disabilities Supported Living and Community Support

·         Mental Health Supported Housing

·         Physical Disabilities Supported Housing

In the future we would like to ensure more flexible options for individuals based on choice and individualised services. We want increased availability of individual budgets. Support should be more progression focused and for different service user groups this is represented by the following themes:

·         Person-centred

·         Enablement and Re-enablement

·         Rehabilitation

·         Recovery Focused

·         Skills acquisition

·         Focus on individuals’ assets (strengths and skills) rather than perceived deficits (needs)

·         Care Pathway Approach

We want to have discussions with care and support providers around how we undertake this process so that we can improve the tendering process and aim to achieve the required outcome more effectively.
