Hertfordshire County Council is procuring a Framework Agreement for Supported Living Services and Community Support Services in Hertfordshire.

Supported Living Services are where care/support is delivered in an accommodation-based service (i.e. where there are a number of tenancies within a purpose-built scheme or cluster, where some support is usually shared; or to an Individual in dedicated supported accommodation). Support can be up to 24 hours a day, seven days a week and may, or may not, include night care.

Community Support Services are where care/support is offered, but accommodation is not an integral element of the service (e.g. the Individual is living with parents/carer; or is a tenant or owner in standard/general needs/mainstream accommodation).
