The strategic review and procurement process is a rolling programme. The Supporting People Partnership Board agreed that strategic reviews would be carried out by service user group over a period of 3-4 years. A procurement programme for the period details the groups to be reviewed and the timescales, including tender dates, and estimated dates for new services to commence.

Young People's Strategic Review
The aim of the Young People’s Strategic Review was to consider the current delivery of services specifically aimed at young people aged 16-25 across the county. Also to make recommendations for commissioning a range of services for the next three years that will make best use of the available resources in order to achieve positive outcomes for young people.
The consultation was carried out from September to December 2008 as part of the young people's strategic review and the proposals have been using information from this consultation and consultation with other stakeholders.

Older People's Strategic Review
The large and complex review of services for older people funded through Supporting People has been delayed as work undertaken by consultants, Peter Fletcher Associates, looking primarily at sheltered housing, took longer than originally anticipated to complete.
They have now completed their work which will provide the basis for our commissioning discussions, discussions with older people - including service users, and providers.

There are a number of different strands to this review which will take many months yet to complete:
An older people’s interest group has been formed and along with other interested parties they have been consulted on a potential model for future older people’s support. This model is based on differing tiers of provision to offer more choice in service provision.
There are also specialist countywide groups. One is discussing the approach to the commissioning of home improvement agencies (see below). Another is looking at the complex issue of community alarms and assistive technology provision across the county.
Finally, there is a group developing an extra care strategy for the county which is also linked to the county council’s modernisation of its own older people’s services.
We are also keen to link into work developing the common assessment framework currently under development by the Department of Health. This could see changes to the way services are accessed in the future. We will provide details once work develops in this area.
Perhaps most importantly, we are keen to link into work taking place locally within Adult Social Care & Health around Putting People First. This is the new government approach looking a putting individuals in control of the services they receive through self directed support and personal/individual budgets. We will have a dedicated post within the team, working alongside social care colleagues, helping develop our plans in this area.
This is the largest strategic review we will undertake within Supporting People as older people’s services make up nearly 90% of the housing support services in Nottinghamshire. Implementation of the outcome of the review is likely to take several years.
Work is starting with individual providers now and progress will be reported to the Provider Forum which will also be a key mechanism for consultation with providers.
