Norfolk County Council wished to award a contract to a suitable Provider to deliver short-term social care support services to autistic adults. The council wanted to work with a suitably qualified and experienced Provider to work with autistic adults to prevent and reduce social care needs. We looked for an ethical provider that delivers value for money and a high-quality service that will be responsive to the needs of autistic adults. The service will aim to prevent and reduce emerging social care needs through effective short-term interventions (of up to 12 weeks) and improve access to community and universal services preventing the escalation of need. The service will work with autistic adults referred from Norfolk County Council's front door and locality teams to work one-to-one on a specific need (for example to improve daily function, quality of life, overall wellbeing), put in place a light touch plan and review to achieve good outcomes, defined by the service user. The expected outcome of the service is that service users will gain confidence and independence, empowering them to make informed choices about how best to manage and maintain their emerging social care needs and prevent the need for more costly care. Additional information: The value is an estimate based on the budget and overall duration of the contract including any extensions.
