Lot 2: Community Based Services
Title
Lot 2: Community Based Services
Description
Community Based services are delivered on the whole to individuals within the home, they differ from standard home care services as staff maybe required for longer periods of time, including overnight. Staff provided maybe required to support with a range of personal care tasks as well as offering the individuals access to the local community, engaging in meaningful activities as well as managing day to day tasks such as cooking, cleaning and attending appointments. Short Breaks offered in individuals' home will usually be in blocks of 4 or more hours. Providers required to offer personal care must be CQC registered, however we welcome applications from organisations who can offer short breaks to individuals in their own home where personal care is not a requirement. Providers must indicate on the tender application their registration status.

Lot 3: Innovation
Description
This lot will be utilised to call off any potential new developments that the local authority wishes to develop, this could include new residential facilities. It could also include specific support to a group of service users who wish to source a short break together or a service to support with planning and organising holiday for individuals with care and support needs. There are no immediate plans for new developments, but if these occur the council would utilise this lot to undertake mini competitions for any new innovations.
