These standards are broken down into subsections with separate quality indicators. The 5 new Supported Living service standards include: • Person centred support and care • Individual choice and control • Staff recruitment and training • Risk assessment and management • Organisational management The successful providers who enter onto the new Supported Living Framework will be those who have sufficiently evidenced their ability to deliver a service going forwards, which will meet the 5 new Supported Living service standards. … This Procurement is being undertaken in accordance with the Regulations 74, 75 and 76 of PCR 2015 (SI2015/102) relating to the award of contracts for Social and Other Specific Services, the tender process will broadly follow the Open Procedure as outlined within the PCR 2015
