A site has been identified, that was previously used as a Children's home, containing three buildings, garages and some outdoor space, which is a Council-owned asset located in Sinfin, to the south of Derby City. Our vision is to develop this provision using an outcomes-based commissioning model which delivers a Supported Living provision for 18 - 25 year-olds with LDNA and/or who are transitioning from children's services to Adult Social Care. The focus of this provision will be to improve outcomes, develop skills, and maximise individual's potential prior to proactive and incremental stepping-down of support towards greater independent living. The intended occupancy is for 12 people for a medium-term (approximately 18 months) duration of enablement. The scoping and design of this provision will be in collaboration with the market to innovate and co-produce delivery of this provision, and lead to the appointment of a suitably qualified and service provider to operate the site, through a formal procurement process at a later stage with a contract for up to 10 years (including break clauses). This is not a formal invitation to tender notice - a procurement exercise will follow at a later stage.
