The service will provide direct support to those individuals with the aim being to create and sustain private rented sector tenancies.

The service will need to adapt to the needs of the Service Users and offer a flexible response across seven days to ensure that Service Users have access to on-call support. The provider will need to support Service Users with a range of support needs and risks. The provider will need to deliver support across the following Local Authorities: Liverpool Sefton, St Helens, and Wirral.

Please note: this service is to be commissioned for the period 1st April 2023 to 31st March 2025 with funding from the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC). Confirmation of funding is expected to be announced February 2023. If funding is not received, the procurement of this service will not be progressed. The contract might be extended yearly for up to two years subject to funding.

The value of the contract over the initial term of two years is £373,100. The total value of the contract including extensions (£746,200) is only an estimate and we cannot guarantee funding availability to proceed with the extensions.
