Short description of the contract or purchase(s)

Provision of the direct care and support across one supported living property for 3 people.

We are seeking to work with an innovative provider to ensure the delivery of high quality care and support services to 3 young people living in one supported living property near the centre of Mold, Flintshire. It would be desirable for Providers to have been successfully accredited to the North Wales Approved Provider List but not essential.

All of the individuals living at the properties have a learning disability and several have a diagnosis of Autism and Complex Epilepsy. It is vital that the provider can ensure the availability of a stable and competent workforce who are trained and skilled in meeting the specialist needs of people with Autism and behaviours which we may find challenging.

The successful provider must be able to demonstrate an established track record of support to individuals with complex needs within the community (domiciliary services) and have achieved or be working towards, accreditation with the National Autistic Society or equivalent body. The provider will be required to evidence its investment in the professional development of the Schemes Manager and Team Leader via Management training during the course of the contract to ensure effective leadership and supervision is available within the service. The Council will wish to test the provider’s organisational structure with particular emphasis on contingency planning to ensure Service Users are not left in a vulnerable position through changes in personnel.

Families will be actively involved in the selection process and intend to seek feedback directly from projects highlighted as part of the tender process.

The duration of the contract is 3 Years with the option of up to two years extension which is renewable annually.

The organisation is committed to contributing to the social, economic and environmental well-being of the wider community. Accordingly, while the requirement to do so will not be mandatory, the successful provider will be expected to consider opportunities to recruit and train long term economically inactive persons as part of the workforce delivering this project
