Aberdeenshire Council on behalf of the Aberdeenshire Health and Social Care Partnership require to tender for a Multi-Supplier Framework Agreement for the provision of Support at Home Services for people who meet eligibility criteria aged 16 years and over with a range of needs, who require assistance through support to live independently and to develop, regain or retain their daily living skills, through reablement and the provision of personal care, personal support and/or housing support, providing the right care and support in the right place. The Aberdeenshire Health and Social Care Partnership require the provision of accommodation-based support services for over 230 vulnerable adults including adults with learning disabilities; mental health problems and physical disabilities and those that have substance misuse problems and forensic histories.

The requirement is for the provision of support at home services in supported accommodation. Support will include personal care, housing support, and social care.

The services will be provided to adults with substantial and critical levels of need linked to eligibility criteria that are principal householders in tenancies in a range of settings that include dispersed single occupancy properties; shared tenancies; houses of multiple occupation; and core and cluster, project-based and extra-care model resources. There is a requirement for low level visiting support for over 1700 adults in the community.

The commissioned Support at Home service works alongside Aberdeenshire Council’s in-house Care at Home service to support the needs of individuals assessed as requiring services to continue to live as independently as possible in their own homes. Support is provided to vulnerable adults from twelve care groups, and the primary care group is older people.
