II.2.4) Description of the procurement
Supported Living is a key priority for Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust (TSDFT) and Torbay Council; we are currently working together to define, review and modernise Supported Living services. The aim is to ensure Supported Living (Accommodation with Care and Support) meets and supports our new Model of Care and aligns with Torbay's market position statement and housing strategy. Currently Supported Living is characterised by enormous variation and diversity in the types of Providers, scheme characteristics, client groups and housing models. It has developed in different ways, depending on which client group it was intended to accommodate. The Care Act 2014 defines Supported Living to mean: 1. Accommodation in premises which are specifically designed or adapted for occupation by adults with needs for care and support to enable them to live as independently as possible and 2. Accommodation which is provided: i) In premises which are intended for occupation by adults with needs for care and support (whether or not the premises are specifically designed or adapted for that purpose) ii) In circumstances in which personal care is available if required. For the purposes of point 2, personal care (and support) may be provided by a person other than the person who provides the accommodation. For the purpose of this contract Supported Living (shared hours) denotes accommodation where there is delivery of shared care and support to people within shared accommodation, a single building or buildings within close proximity.
