two.2.4) Description of the procurement

The aim of the Kirklands scheme is to provide a 6 bed CQC Registered Residential care service in North West Leeds for persons who require nursing or personal care (ANPC) with the CQC registration 'treatment of disease, disorder or injury' (TDDI). The service will meet the needs of individuals with a learning disability and or severe autism and who display behaviours which significantly challenge whole systems of care and support.

Kirklands is a result of significant collaboration between Leeds City Council Adults and Health (LCC A&H), Leeds Clinical Commissioning Group, (Leeds CCG) (Now the ICB), NHS England and CQC to invest in bespoke accommodation design, and inspirational values driven care and support, to enable citizens with the highest levels of care and support needs to move back to Leeds from out of area specialist, often clinical units, including long term segregation.

The Kirklands service is also Leeds's response to bringing back young people in transition who have left the city in order to have their care and educational needs met, as well as our response to preventing individuals necessitating admission to hospital or having to leave the city to have their needs met - when their presentation is challenging whole systems of care and support. Care managers will work with colleagues in the Transitions Team to identify young people that would benefit from being placed at the Kirklands service and require the level of support/environment that Kirklands will offer.

The Provider awarded with this contract will deliver proactive, personalised models of care, embedding effective risk management and positive risk taking in the least restrictive way. The Provider will demonstrate the required leadership, forward-thinking, skills, training and support systems and collaborate with external partners to maintain and/or establish resilience within their care and support teams to confidently support individuals in a flexible way that responds to their challenges and their changing needs.
