Description from the notice

Derby City Council (the Council) is undertaking this procurement to establish a contract for a Life Skills Development and Transitions Supported Living Development. The Council is seeking to meet its strategic objective in mitigating a sufficiency gap in local specialist provision for those preparing for adulthood aged 18-25 years with eligible care needs and living with Learning Disabilities, Neurodiversity and/ or Autism (LDNA). 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. 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 around 13 people who would over an 18-month period access and move through relevant Scheme, although as the pace of progression through each stage will vary according to the Service User’s individual needs; the Scheme is time-restricted but not time-limited.
