two.1.4) Short description
Worcestershire County Council wishes to engage suitably qualified organisations to provide day services to people living in the county. The council has previously operated two separate dynamic purchasing systems for day services, one for Older People, People with Physical Disabilities, Sensory Impairment, and people living with, Dementia and a second for people with Learning Disabilities. We have undertaken a number of market engagement and other stakeholder events which have helped shape the new combined specification, revised monitoring, and proposed contract. We will now have one dynamic purchasing system for all day services called Positive Days - Day Services which will become operational from 1st October 2022.
The Council proposes a shift in practice in the delivery of day services for all client groups, based on the overarching aims, on feedback as well as national and local priorities and good practice evidence. Commissioned providers and WCC Commissioners will work together to deliver support based on the following principles:
• be well and stay safe,
• be independent and connected,
• be supported.
