HAC5313 - Learning Disability Activities Framework

The London Borough of Tower Hamlets is seeking to establish a Framework with reputable, suitably experienced and qualified organisations or groups of organisations to provide an innovative, creative and flexible programme of day activities for adults with learning disabilities, including those with complex healthcare needs. The service model aims to focus on supporting people to progress and develop or maintain their independence within the community by promoting a "think work first" culture and by offering a greater variety of developmental activities with greater choice, personalisation and flexibility, supporting individuals to develop their skills, progress and achieve the outcomes set as part of their assessment by the Community Learning Disability Service (CLDS) through active participation in a wide range of activities in the community.

The procurement consists of four separate Lots. This must include indoor and outdoor activities and consist of activities which develop cognition, social skills, life skills, employability and physical and mental health.

The programme must include participation in community activities; it must not consist solely of activities delivered in one centre in which all participants have learning disability. This includes provision of support to people individually or in groups to enable them to participate in activities and support for adaptations by mainstream community activity providers to enable them to include adults with learning disability.

This provision includes indoor and outdoor activities which develop cognition, social skills, life skills, employability and physical and mental health. The provision must not be activities where all participants have learning disability.
