Health and social work services

Tender description

Enfield has a proud history of working with a strong, vibrant and innovative voluntary sector. As part of our work to recommission early intervention and preventative services to support the people of Enfield, we are keen to work with local organisations to deliver the kind of joined up services which the people of Enfield expect and need. We strongly welcome collaborations across VCS organisations that broaden the offer and strengthen the resilience of the services available to support the principles of truly independent living, recognising people's strengths and aspirations and personal resilience where people are enabled to work in a variety of ways to do more for themselves and live healthier lives with access to the information, advice and support they need to make informed decisions about the things that matter to them most. The Voluntary Community Services Provision will be divided in the following 6 Lots with the outcome areas being: 1. Helping People Continue Caring. 2. Supporting Vulnerable Adults to Remain Living Healthily and Independently in the Community. 3. Supporting People to Improve their Health and Well-being and Improving Self-management. 4. Helping Vulnerable Adults to Have a Voice. 5. People Recover from Illness, Safe and Appropriate Discharge from Hospital. 6. Increased and Improved Information Provision. Enfield has a growing and ageing population and the number of people who need care and support from Health and Social Care continues to increase. Early intervention and prevention support is critical in enabling more people to avoid crisis and to continue to live independently within their own homes. National legislation is clear about this: “Down any deterioration and actively seek to improve their situation. Fairness for all — Serve the whole borough fairly and tackle inequality; — Provide high quality, affordable and accessible services for all; — Enable young people to achieve their potential. Growth and sustainability — A clean, green and sustainable environment; — Bring growth, jobs and opportunity to the borough. Strong communities — Encourage active citizenship; — Listen to the needs of local people and be open and accountable; — Provide strong leadership to champion the needs of Enfield; — Work in partnership with others to ensure Enfield is a safe and healthy place to live.
