Adult Pathway Services

Descriptions

* This notice is a PIPELINE NOTICE and therefore is NOT currently a call for competition. For the avoidance of doubt, the Pipeline Notice is intended to provide the most accurate forecast currently available for the council's high value procurement activity, but does not commit the council to procuring any contract and may be amended after publication. No further information other than that captured in this notice can be provided at this time. * The council intends to recommission four of its current pathway services to help vulnerable single people who would otherwise be homeless, thereby reducing the need for statutory Temporary Accommodation and for more reactive, intensive public services such as A&E, Police or adult social care services. The services provide accommodation for some of the most vulnerable people in the community together with support that is tailored to meet individual, increasingly complex needs, often associated with substance misuse and mental health problems. Residents are helped to progress towards independence by engaging with the services relevant to their needs and taking up opportunities for employment, training and education.
