Early Intervention & Ongoing Support Services for Adults

Supplier Engagement

The City of London Corporation are conducting a full review of our current and future provision for Early Intervention and Ongoing Support Services for Adults.

We hope that by engaging with stakeholders we can shape our services to improve our offer to intervene early and support people to improve individual choice, resilience and wellbeing, in particular:

• Independence, involvement and choice - People of all ages can live independently, be active in their communities and exercise choice over their services
• Health and wellbeing - People of all ages enjoy good health and wellbeing
• Community - People of all ages feel part of, engaged with and able to shape their community

As part of this engagement process we are asking providers of early intervention services to complete the attached questionnaire and return to us to help shape future provision. We believe that participation by, and input from, external suppliers into this review is key to the future design and success of delivering early intervention support to our service users.

The breadth of services that are currently being considered as part of this review are (please note this is not an exhaustive list):

• Reablement
• Care Navigators
• Brokerage
• Community Equipment Services
• Telecare 24-hour call handling and response service
• Planned assessment (Out of Hours AMHP) for mental health & rough sleepers
• Wellbeing and Independence Service)
• City Carers Service
• Befriending Services
• Shopping Service
• Handyman Service

The final procurement route is yet to be decided.

If you would like to participate in this soft market testing exercise please email alex.lindsay@cityoflondon.gov.uk to request our questionnaire.

Completed questionnaires should be returned by Friday 6th April 2018.
