The Council is undertaking a pre-procurement market engagement in relation to a revised model of provision. You are invited to attend the event which will be held on 6th November from 09:30am to 12:00pm at the following venue:- Darwin Room, Tickfield Centre Tickfield Industrial Estate, Tickfield Ave, Southend-on-Sea ### SS2 6LL Please confirm your attendance via eventbrite [eventbrite.co.uk](https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/learning-disabilities-accommodation-and-support-services-market-engagement-event-tickets-50349275037) please note that spaces are limited to 2 attendees from each organisation Our aim is to commission flexible housing related support provision for people with a learning disability, which enables them to keep safe, to live independently, and to maintain good health and wellbeing so that they can access their local community. We wish to engage with the market to test market interest in the provision of housing support services and to discuss the service model options available. The Council currently commissions a supported living service within five accommodation bases, across one main site (consisting of independent flats, mews and shared houses on one site). Placements are made primarily by the Council, although there have also been health-funded placements in the current service provision. The hours of support to be offered to each tenant are currently agreed at the start of the person's tenancy between the tenant, the social work team and the provider, and there is an expectation that these will reduce over time.
