Extra care service

Tender description

The London Borough of Barking and Dagenham will soon be going to tender for the provision of an Extra Care service for older residents across several schemes in the Borough. We see extra care as an important part of our offer to older people in the Borough, enabling older people to live as independently as possible in the community, with care and support provided on site and tailored to individual’s needs and preferences through a person centred, strengths-based approach. We want our extra care schemes to be a part of an engaging and lively community in Barking and Dagenham, with activities that are directed by, and co-produced with the residents who live there and where schemes work closely with facilities and organisations in the Borough to ensure that schemes have robust connections to their locality. The Borough will be holding a market engagement event on the 19 May between 1pm to 2:30pm.
