Early Market Engagement for Community Wellbeing Contract

Description

Torbay Council are publishing a Prior Information Notice (PIN) to inform the market of a potential opportunity for Community Wellbeing and to initiate pre-market engagement by way of Expression of Interest for the purpose of enabling the Local Authority to identify within the market: 1. Suppliers with the skills, experiences and expertise to deliver the requirements laid out in Appendix A Draft Specification 2. Identify interested parties to this opportunity; and 3. Identify capable, interested parties who can deliver the requirements of the procurement within the proposed timescales. The background of this requirement is the demand for Adult Social care in Torbay is continuing to increase. To address our critical need to meet the needs of local people in a community-focused way and reduce the demand of individuals for statutory support to maintain their independence, health and wellbeing in the community, we need to ensure there are robust mechanisms and community support services in place to enable people to connect and engage with community-based support within their own neighbourhoods in Torbay. The overarching purpose of this requirement will focus on delivering the preventative aspects of Adult Social Care and Public Health which will promote and actively support the independence, wellbeing and quality of life for Adults in Torbay. It will prevent or delay the need for Torbay residents to access higher cost more intensive support.
