25/11/2022 - Consultancy Contract for ASC VH JC VF Support for development of an inclusive ambition and medium-term strategy and discharge and flow transformation ref: 5191    Recommendations Approved

Surrey County Council (SCC) recognises the need for support to define the medium-term strategy for adult social care and to deliver complex change across interfaces, especially in order to deliver consistent high-quality care whilst interfacing with a complex health provider market. This will enable SCC to meet the twin challenge of delivering immediate impact to support outcomes and improve the financial position, whilst delivering a coherent programme of change to meet a more sustainable medium-term delivery model across the directorate, as well as supporting discharge and flow transformation across Surrey’s hospital system including embedding an enhanced strengths based Discharge to Assess model.  

 

SCC has ambitions to improve relationships with health partners, providers, the voluntary community and faith sector, as well as internally to deliver better outcomes for its residents and a sustainable financial position. By 2030 Surrey wants to be a uniquely special place where everyone has a great start to life, people live healthy and fulfilling lives, are enabled to achieve their full potential and contribute to their community, and no one is left behind. Ambitions for people include:

 

·         Children and young people are safe and feel safe and confident.

·         Everyone benefits from education, skills and employment opportunities that help them succeed in life.

·         Everyone lives healthy, active and fulfilling lives, and makes good choices about their wellbeing.

·         Everyone gets the health and social care support and information they need at the right time and place.

 

Communities are welcoming and supportive, especially of those most in need, and people feel able to contribute to community life.

13/11/2022 - Approval to award Short Breaks for Children & Young People via a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) and Lot specific contracts ref: 5162    Recommendations Approved

Surrey County Council (SCC) has a statutory duty to support disabled children, young people and their families. Personal Support is part of the short breaks offer but is a specialist service and is only available following assessment. 

 

Personal Support is home-based care, primarily used by SCC’s Children with Disabilities team to provide families with respite care (short break), in accordance with their assessed needs. Personal support may also be used to provide other types of support such as emergency or crisis support and support outside the home for children and young people to access and be included in social and leisure actives in their local communities.

 

The services provided through the new contract will be available to all of the Children’s Services teams and the procurement value reflects this scope.

 

The new DPS for Personal Support Services will commence on 1st April 2024 and it will be in place for 3 years, up to 31st March 2027. There is also an available extension of 2 years taking this to 31st March 2029.
