This drive to maximising independence for the people supported will require a significant cultural change both within the council, the individual and the provider market. In particular we are looking for Providers to partner with the voluntary and community sector creatively and flexibly to meet the needs of people. It is anticipated that through this approach, the level of care provision will reduce over the life of the contract. In so doing the department is seeking to commission a community based support service for adults who reside in Bracknell Forest through the procurement of a framework contract with 5-9 organisations.
