Support, Care and Community Services Framework
Torbay Council has set up a Support, Care and Community Services Framework in Torbay as a list of approved providers of accommodation, care and support services. The purpose of this Framework is to improve the quality and range of services, bringing together funding and provision to meet individual needs, and provide more flexible services.
This Framework is being used to procure (select) as wide a range of services as possible to promote the independence and inclusion of vulnerable and disadvantaged people.
The evaluation process for the Support, Care and Community Services Framework has now been completed and places have been awarded. The list of organisations who have been awarded places on the Framework is in the Related Documents section below.
New services are now being procured from the Framework. People using services will continue to receive a service although their service provider may change and they will be fully supported through any changes in their service provision.
