What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham is seeking to commission a Self-Directed Support Service to support residents who are either considering self-direction or already self-direct their care and support.
The Service will contribute to Adult Social Care priorities including improving the uptake of Direct Payments, ensuring choice and control in how care and support is arranged, provision of good quality information and advice, promoting wellbeing and personal outcomes and involving residents in decisions about how their needs will be met.
Self-directed support is the cornerstone of the Council’s vision for Independent Living. Direct Payments and Individual Service Funds enable residents with care and support needs to receive a Personal Budget from the Council and have choice and control in deciding the care and support they need to achieve their personal outcomes.
