The Cabinet Member considered the report which indicated that the new Complex Needs supported living contract and developments were a critical aspect of Oxfordshire’s local offer. The purpose was to support people on the Dynamic Support Register with a learning disability and/or autism who were most at risk of admission under the Mental Health Act.

The contract would provide support to people to whom the Council owed a duty under the Care Act 2014 and / or under Section 117 MHA 1983. The contract would also support individuals with complex needs (learning disability and/or autism), with a focus on bringing people currently placed out of county back into Oxfordshire.

The Cabinet Member welcomed the focus on supporting residents to return to Oxfordshire and noted the importance of the service.

Resolved to:

a)    Agree to tender a new Complex Needs supported living contract via a mini competition through the Live Well Supported Services Framework Lot 2.

b)    To delegate authority to the Director for Adult Social Services, to award and enter into such contract following the completion of the procurement process.
