two.2.4) Description of the procurement
Islington Adult Social Care’s vision is for the borough to be a place made up of strong, inclusive and connected communities. Where regardless of background, people have fair and equal access to adult social care support that enables residents to live healthy, fulfilling and independent lives. This service will align with Adult Social Care’s operating model by proactively taking all opportunities to build on people's strengths, maximise their independence and connect them with their community, ensuring equality and fairness throughout.
In Islington, we see early intervention and prevention as proactive not reactive, focused on building capacity and relationships, joined up, rooted in communities and reducing the need for crisis or statutory services. Floating support is a key pillar of the borough’s early intervention and prevention offer.
The initial contract term will be nine (9) months from an estimated start date of 1 July 2025, with the option of an extension for up to twelve (12) months, subject to satisfactory performance and available funding.
