Responder Service for Overnight Support for Adults

Tender description

The City of Edinburgh Council is seeking to establish a framework to provide remote support and a responder service as an alternative for people who currently have staff who support them at night where appropriate, and as a first option of night time support in new packages of care. The key objectives of this service are to increase options for people who need night time support, reduce reliance on staff in homes, utilise technology for planned and emergency situations and to provide a staffed service where appropriate. The Council is seeking notes from organisations who may be interested in providing this service. A briefing will be held at 10.30 on Wednesday 25 November via Microsoft Teams. Organisations who are interested in attending this should email ben.fulton@edinburgh.gov.uk and an invitation will be distributed.
