Community Opportunities - Flexible Purchasing Solution

Description

The Council is seeking applications from providers who wish to join the Community Opportunities: Flexible Purchasing System (FPS). The intention is to appoint a range of providers with the capability and capacity to deliver Community Opportunities.
The Learning Disability/Autism - Community Opportunities is accessed by adults requiring specialist support and who have long term health conditions and/or complex needs (including complex behavioural needs). This could include learning disabilities, sensory impairment, autistic spectrum disorders, multiple physical disability, epilepsy, dementia, and additional mental ill health. Individuals with acquired brain injury may where appropriate be referred to the service. The service promotes people to use community opportunity services as a transition to independent living / independence and to operate with a preventative focus. 
The initial duration of the model is 5 years but may run beyond this term if it continues to be fit for purpose.
