Cheshire East Council is committed through its statutory obligations and policies to

continuously improve the quality of care and support services provided to adult service

users.

We are seeking to commission a provider(s) who can provide an innovative and person

centred learning disabilities respite service in Cheshire East. The service will be able to meet

a variety of different support needs, ensure positive outcomes which add value to the lives of

people with a learning disability and deliver efficiencies in the way that support is provided.

  • The service specification for Lots 1 and 2 is for the provision of accommodation-based

respite support, within the Cheshire East area.

  • The service will provide accommodation and support for adults with a learning disability

who may display behaviour that challenges, including those with associated mental health

conditions, autism or physical disabilities. The service(s) will be delivered at a building or

buildings within easy access of the identified locations.

  • The service will be based on a short term supported living model and commissioned on a

block contract basis (whether units are occupied or not) and not on usage
