Description

Shropshire Council wishes to procure a Preventative Service for adults. This service is to replace an existing contract. The Preventative Service will deliver community led support for adults ages 18+ that will help individuals to remain independent in their own home and engaged in their local community through activities that help people to stay healthy with the aim of reducing the likelihood of becoming unwell, using statutory services and/or needing to receive long term formal care and support. Equally, when people do develop care and support needs, the contract will be placed to ensure that we have a robust community led offer of support that can assist people in ways that are holistic, person centred, strengths-led and outcome focussed.

Shropshire Council wishes to procure a Preventative Service for adults. This service is to replace an existing contract. The Preventative Service will deliver community led support for adults ages 18+ that will help individuals to remain independent in their own home and engaged in their local community through activities that help people to stay healthy with the aim of reducing the likelihood of becoming unwell, using statutory services and/or needing to receive long term formal care and support. Equally, when people do develop care and support needs, the contract will be placed to ensure that we have a robust community led offer of support that can assist people in ways that are holistic, person centred, strengths-led and outcome focussed. The contract will make a significant contribution to Shropshire Councils strategic intentions that are in place to support prevention and early intervention. Chiefly this in in reference to the delivery of The Shropshire Plan and also the more recently agreed Prevention Framework which provides more context and detail for how we will deliver our strategic plans. Furthermore, the framework emphasises the importance of taking forward approaches that are neighbourhood led. This means joining up local services in the community and fostering community connections so that everyone in a neighbourhood can thrive. Providing more services closer to home and taking a neighbourhood approach is at the heart of our wider vision to improving wellbeing and preventing illness and poor health. In conjunction and as part of these priorities, the contract will play a pivotal role in redefining the adult social care ‘front door’ by strengthening the layer of community led support that sits ahead of First Point of Contact and the operational adult social care workforce, thus managing demand more effectivity. This approach develop the ways in which people access information (online or otherwise) in order to build knowledge, provide guidance and create greater self-reliance. As a guideline, the current service delivers support to approximately 9000 per quarter. This can be broken down by: •Practical help in the home (cooking, cleaning, shopping, etc) = 975 people •Befriending / friendship support = 532 people •Support for activities aimed at keeping well and active = 7620 people In addition, this new contract will incorporate: •Support to aid successful discharge from hospital, aiding in reablement •Community led Mental Health outreach support, to include peer support and training that enables individuals with poor mental health to access the breath of provision available through the contract The provider will be expected to manage any increase in demand within the contract value. Given the breadth of experience and range of activity required to meet our outcomes, we would welcome proposals which bring together a number of organisations to deliver this service. This may be a formal or informal partnership, a consortium, a lead provider / sub-contractors arrangement or similar. Additionally, the Council recognises the importance of the strong brand, identity and recognition that individual organisations have and a solution which retains choice for people within the contracting arrangement is desirable. The maximum budget available for this contract is initially £1,072,630 per annum. The contract will be for an initial term of 5 years with an option to extend the contract by a further 2 years subject to contract performance and budget availability.
