We are creating a new model where people's needs can be met flexibly and innovatively, making the most of limited resources, whilst giving the person the maximum levels of choice and control over their lives. We are developing Supportive Lifestyle Services, based on core (shared) hours and introducing the ability of all providers to bid on additional 1:1 support for people via a Dynamic Purchasing System. Giving individuals more choice over who provides them with essential 1:1 support in their home (which may be a supported living scheme) or in the community. This will enable all providers who offer Home Care Services, Supported Living Services, Person Centred Support and Enablement to consider delivering Supportive Lifestyle Services in Cornwall, either by bidding for a block of Core Hours (shared hours) or for individual 1:1 hours through the DPS or via an Individual Service Fund or a Direct Payment. We hope that this will enable more providers to diversify and grow their business into Cornwall and to bid on services for people with an eligible Health or Social Care need; who live in our current supported living schemes, the local community and for the future new opportunities in Cornwall. Alongside this Support Tender, Cornwall is embarking on an ambitious development of Supported Living Housing over the next 8 years and we plan to build and remodel 400 units of accommodation. Providing quality housing and support is central to ensuring our strategic aims of developing independence, enablement, promoting life skills and delivering on outcomes for individuals .
