Published requirement description

Norfolk County Council has established a Framework Agreement for the provision of care and support within independent living (also called extra care) schemes which enables residents of independent living schemes to maximise their independence and lead a fulfilling lifestyle. For the purposes of this framework agreement ‘Independent Living’ includes any housing scheme offering on-site support and care for planned and unplanned needs twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.Care and support within Independent Living is the delivery of an agreed package of care for adults who are resident in their own home within an Independent Living scheme who have been assessed as having a social care need because they are living with ill health, disability, physical frailty or a learning disability and/or with autism disability. Although schemes are predominantly for over 55s, it is expected exceptions will be made to this criterion on a case by case basis.
