Overview
Supported Living Services currently supports 245 adults with learning disabilities, autism, physical disabilities, mental health needs and complex support requirements. The existing Supported Living Flexible Contracting Arrangement has supported the development of a diverse provider market and delivers positive outcomes for people drawing on support, and this demand continues to increase as a result of demographic growth, increasing complexity of need and transitions from Children Services to Adult Social Care, and expires in June 2026. Within a current service review, the Council may propose an Open Framework that provides a compliant and flexible commissioning approach that enables provides to join the framework at defined intervals throughout the life of the contract, and strengthen the Council's ability to respond to increasing demand, develop local provision, improve commissioning oversight and fulfil its market shaping responsibilities under the Care Act 2014.
