Decision details

West Sussex County Council (WSCC) set up day service contracts in 2015 with independent organisations to provide day services for adults with Learning Disabilities and/or Autism. The current contracts with the County Council are in their final year of and need to be re-tendered.  Much has changed since the contracts were set up and Commissioners have reviewed the model of Day, Employment and Volunteering Services and whether this continues to best meet individuals’ needs.

The intention is that the outcome will be co-designed, community-based interventions that raise aspiration, encourage independence and healthy active lives.  The process will also consider how commissioned services link in to and complement the Council’s directly provided services.

Following the approval of a tender process to re-commission new services by the Cabinet Member for Adults Services the Director of Adults and Health will be asked to award the contract (s) to the successful bidder, following the principles of good outcomes, quality of service, value for money and additional social capital when evaluating tenders.

The Director of Adults and Health has approved the award of the contracts to the successful bidders as set out in section 2 of the report.  

None.
