Transforming Care is the national programme to
reduce dependence on specialist inpatient beds for people with a
learning disability and/or autism with behaviour that challenges.
East Sussex County Council (ESCC) is part of the Sussex
Transforming Care Partnership (TCP) along with all local
authorities and Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) in
Sussex.
The proposal is to develop a site in South Chailey that will soon
be vacated, to provide supported living services, in self-contained
flats, for six people who have a learning disability and complex
challenging behaviours plus a four bed respite service for people
from the same cohort.
4 out of 6 contractors on lot 2 of the framework submitted
expressions of interest and all 4 submitted bids for the
contract.
Sunninghill Construction Co received the best overall score in the
tender evaluation and was ultimately awarded the contract.
