Specialised Support for an Individual with Complex Needs

Buckinghamshire Council · Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender

Tender information last checkedLast checked 4 Oct 2026, 21:48.

Opportunity overview

Buckinghamshire Council require a provider to provide specialised support for an individual with complex needs, including learning disabilities, autism, ADHD, and behavioural challenges. It was originally established as a bespoke residential placement following a transition from long term hospital care, with the environment carefully adapted to ensure safety, structure, and therapeutic benefit. Located within Buckinghamshire, the service delivers intensive staffing and tailored interventions aimed at maintaining stability, promoting engagement, and reducing incidents. Future commissioning plans focus on shifting from a residential model to a supported living approach, enabling greater independence, flexibility, and community involvement while still maintaining the safeguards needed for the individual’s wellbeing. The intention is to develop a long term pathway that gradually reduces support as safely possible, enhances quality of life, and ensures the provision remains sustainable and aligned with best practice models of care.
