    "description": "Cardiff Council is seeking to understand the market from Providers who are committed to promoting services that meet the needs of adults with learning disabilities who have been identified as being in a social care crisis and can deliver Emergency Supported Living Services as detailed within this notice. \nThis is a particular specialist service for people who have learning disabilities, including people with Autism, physical and sensory impairment, behaviour that is challenging and complex needs, who have fallen into crisis. The population groups are people who have been assessed/diagnosed as adults with complex care and support needs and have:\n•\tAutism (ASD)\n•\tLearning Disability\nThe Emergency Accommodation Service (EAS) is a domiciliary supported living development that will respond to social crisis emergency situations. The Scheme has 5-beds available to vulnerable individuals on a temporary/short-term basis throughout the year. The Scheme will provide sleep-in support and 24-hour staffing that can meet a full range of complex learning disability needs. \nIndividuals are issued ‘licences’ by the Community Landlord whilst living at this scheme. The Provider will support individuals with Housing related support issues and the management of maintaining the requirements of the ‘licences’ Including understanding their rights and responsibilities.\nThe Provider is responsible for the provision of the Personal Domiciliary Care and support and the Housing Related Support services within the Emergency Accommodation Scheme to those people who are eligible.\nThe purpose of the scheme is to provide short-term supported living to adults who have fallen into crisis by providing a range of quality, personalised support. \nAs well as providing emergency accommodation the staff on site will offer a wide variety of emotional support and social and community activity-based opportunities supporting the well-being and independence of the individuals who are placed in the service. Targeted support to meet individuals’ needs would be identified via the wellbeing assessment and care plan. Providers are expected to support the further assessment of accommodation and support needs and help identify future needs.to move on from the service.\nAll support delivered is required to be high quality and delivered by highly skilled, suitably trained, and qualified staff, who can respond appropriately at short notice and with a degree of flexibility to diverse needs. Support will be strengths-based and outcome focused and importantly co-produced with the individual in receipt of care and support, family, carers, and other stakeholders. \nThe Council is looking to commission the care and support services for the individuals placed at the Scheme. They will receive personal domiciliary care and support from the commissioned Provider who is not the owner/landlord of the accommodation. Individuals are issued licences by the landlord whilst staying at the scheme. Individuals that are placed in the scheme would stay for the shortest period possible. \nThe Provider would need to enter into a Service Level Agreement with the Community Landlord and undertake all Housing Management functions related to operating a supported living scheme environment.\nCardiff Council will have a Management Agreement with the Community Landlord.
