Purpose: The Community Opportunities Framework is a new contract structure which covers a range of community opportunities to provide appropriate social inclusion and carer relief, so that people can live independent, safe and active lives. It will offer flexible, high-quality support, with a focus on connecting people to their communities, maximising independence, and helping to prevent admission into long term residential care or hospital.   This report will seek approval of the commissioning intentions for the Framework and to delegate the award of contracts to deliver these services, following a competitive procurement exercise, to the Director of Adult Social Care and Prevention.
