Description
Following a successful bid to the Single Homeless Accommodation Programme (SHAP), Dorset Council was awarded capital and revenue funding to deliver a 'young adults project' covering the period 2025 to 2028.
The Capital grant awarded has allowed the Council to purchase a suitable 6-bedroom unit of accommodation, alongside 2 self-contained units, which will provide accommodation for young people aged 18-25 who are at risk of homelessness. The acquisition of the accommodation was outside of the procurement process.
Dorset Council ran a further competition in order to award an initial contract for 2 years and 6 months, running from September 2025 to March 2028, at a value of £578,908, with the option to extend for a further three 12-month periods, subject to grant funding and performance.
This is a support service which provides 24/7 on-site support for 6 young people in a shared unit of accommodation, as well as a floating support service for 2 young people who will live in self-contained units of accommodation in the wider community.
This is a bespoke support service for homeless 18-25-year-olds because there are identified gaps in provision for young adults aged between 18-25 who are non-care leavers. There are also gaps in provision for those aged between 21-25, as well as self-contained accommodation for this age group.
This was Further Competition via Lot 19 of the Dorset Care, Support, Housing and Community Safety Framework. Lot 19 of the Framework is 'Living Well (C) - Housing related support services'.
