Description

Aberdeen City Council require a Framework of providers who will be able to deliver high intensity care and support in specialised services for adults with complex care needs.

Total Quantity or Scope

Aberdeen City Council require a Framework of providers who will be able to deliver high intensity care and support in specialised services for adults with complex care needs. Complex Care is recognised as terminology for people with a learning disability but other groups with complexity of need may also require some additional environmental factors to be considered and more specialist support to be provided, such as mental health or brain injury. Providers may also come with options to work collaboratively with the Partnership to design and develop innovative accommodation-based care solutions. They may have a commitment to developing capital portfolios or have existing landlord or developer partners able to identify flexible and sustainable housing options. Any accommodation proposals must be in line with the Environmental Specification contained in the Aberdeen City Health & Social Care Partnership's Complex Care Market Position Statement and include opportunities for Technology Enable Care (TEC).

A summary of the expected community benefits has been provided as follows: Specific Community Benefits objectives for this procurement are as follows: Fair Work First (FWF) The Scottish Public Sector is committed to the delivery of high quality public services, and recognises that this is critically dependent on a workforce which is well-rewarded, well-motivated, well-led, has access to appropriate opportunities for training and development, is diverse and inclusive, and can influence decision making. These factors are also important for workforce recruitment and retention, and thus continuity of service delivery. Innovation/Case Studies A case study could include an example of best practice or significant achievement on the project; an example of how innovation has been demonstrated or examples of positive outcomes resulting from the delivery of community benefits. Case studies can touch upon any areas of additional enhancement to project delivery, final product to the Council and/or end user. Case studies can include testimonials from placement participants (including under-represented groups such as disabled persons or care leavers”), address fair work practices, 3rd sector/community assistance or collaboration or general innovation. Can be regarded as an extended press release (available for the Council to use in further communications). The submission and frequency will follow the Contract Management Framework reporting agreement. Carbon Reduction Scotland's Climate Change Declaration and Aberdeen City Council’s ambitions to become a climate positive city and move towards a just transition to a net-zero, green, wellbeing economy represent key local and national priorities.
