Issue details

Redesign of Older Persons Day Care Services (as part of the development of a new offer of support and activities for Southampton City residents)

To consider the report of the Cabinet Member for Housing and Adult Care seeking approval to commence a procurement of a new Community Wellbeing Centre Service Model, which over time will transform the current traditional model of Day Centre provision for older people into a new more inclusive model, catering for a broader range of needs and offering greater choice of a wide range of opportunities and increased community engagement.


The proposed procurement follows on from an engagement exercise with current day care users, their carers, service providers and wider services into the future model of providing support and day time activities to help people to maintain their health, well being and independence. It will focus on giving people more choice and control over the support and services they are able to access, utilising personal budgets to offer more personalised forms of care and will promote the ethos of early intervention and prevention, maximising the use of community assets.
The current day care service contracts with SCA and Age UK expire on 31 March 2018 and so a re-procurement is required.

The report to Cabinet will outline the feedback from the engagement exercise and the proposed model of provision which will be set out in the Service Specification for the procurement.
