Description

The Council is seeking providers for a range of Supported Housing accommodation and support for Young People who are aged 16-25 (or for Lot 2 16-29) and assessed as vulnerable by the Children in Need Service and for who the local authority Children's Services has a Statutory Duty. This includes Children Looked After aged 16-17; Care Leavers aged 18-25; and homeless young people aged 16-18. We seek to procure a range of accommodation that will provide the right young people with the right place and support to acquire the skills to live independently, and make successful transition to independent living.

It is the Council's intention to divide these requirements into 3 lots as follows:
Lot 1 - Supported Lodgings; Night Stop and Day Stop for Young People who are aged 16-25
Lot 2 - Accommodation and Intensive Housing Management for Young People who are aged 16-29
Lot 3 - Supported Housing accommodation and a floating support service for Young People with Complex Needs who are aged 16-25

The Council reserves the right to award all or a combination of lots to the same contractor; however each lot must be priced independently of the others.
