Overview
The next round of this framework has been delayed due to the Council's Covid-19 response. Cambridgeshire County Council is commissioning Residential Services for Adults with a Learning Disability, setting up an Open Framework for a period of 10 years.
This means that the Framework will re-open at intervals to allow for new and previously unsuccessful providers to apply to join. Providers should be aware that there are higher incidences of long term conditions, and other health problems, experienced by people with learning disabilities and prioritises preventative and palliative services and support to minimise potential impacts to service users.
As such staff must have sufficient and appropriate training and skills to effectively engage people with learning disabilities in health promotion. The Council is trying to move towards a model that helps people to live as independently as possible at all levels of need, so the focus is on progression. Peterborough City Council may call-off this Framework for service users they have assessed as eligible using their own criteria.
