Description

Tenders are invited for places on a framework for the provision of a Managed Day Opportunities Service.

Our requirements are for the provision of outcome focussed, person-centred day opportunities that provide eligible Customers aged 16+ years (including older adults aged 65+) with a range of activities that will help them achieve a fulfilling and independent life contributing to improving their overall well-being as well as, where appropriate, giving their Carers a break.

Customers may be older adults living with multiple long-term conditions, frailty and dementia, or younger adults with physical and / or learning difficulties. Services are also required for Customers with primary needs relating to their mental health.

The Council reserves the right to open a Lot or Lots and run an open competitive tendering process to replace existing Framework Service Provider due to failure/poor performance/material breaches etc.

There will also be the option of opening up a Lot or Lots to add an additional Service Provider where there are capacity issues within that Lot.
