Sheffield City Council is establishing an Enhanced Care Framework for people over the age of 16 years old who have learning disabilities and/or autistic people, who display behaviours that challenge including those with a mental health condition. This Enhanced Care Framework will encompass a range of services as outlined in the specific Lots and sub-Lots: Lot 1- Enhanced supported living Lot 1.1 – Support linked with accommodation Lot 1.2- Community care and support Lot 2- Severe Multiple Disadvantage Lot 2.1- Support linked with accommodation Lot 2.2- Community care and support Lot 3- Care and Nursing Home Lot 3.1 - Residential Care - Care home services without nursing Lot 3.2 - Nursing Care - Care home services with nursing Lot 4 - Planned Enhanced Overnight Short Breaks Lot 5 - Emergency Enhanced Overnight Short Breaks Lot 6 - Crisis/Bridging Support This Framework Agreement has been procured as an open framework. Open frameworks have a maximum duration of eight years. Within the eight-year term, the framework must be reopened at least twice. The Council will open the Framework after the initial three years from the day of the first award. The Council’s intention is that Framework two will then reopen after three years, Framework three will then have a duration of two years. Providers will meet the shared objectives of delivering support which meets the needs and outcomes of the individuals, as well as improving choice, quality and promoting independence. The Council is looking to shift towards outcomes-based commissioning. In its broadest terms, this means that the focus will be moved from ‘how’ a service operates, to the outcomes the service achieves. This means that the individual and/or their advocates will be involved in measuring the success of a given service in relation to achieving outcomes, and their role will be more central to the evaluation and management of contracts.
