The requirement The Young People’s Supported Accommodation Pathway – 16-25 years (the ‘pathway’) will provide accommodation-based support for young people aged 16-25.

The council’s vision is to develop an innovative and sustainable pathway that prepares young people for independent living, is responsive to the needs of young people, provides value for money for the council and supports the health and wellbeing of young people in psychologically informed environments.

The pathway will support young people to achieve positive outcomes in other areas of their lives alongside housing – for example in education, training and employment, health, and emotional well-being.

The council is initially seeking to award call-off contracts for up to 100 units of supported accommodation for young people.

A flexible framework of providers will enable the council to award further call-off contracts over the life of the framework to secure extra provision of up to an additional 100 units of supported accommodation for young people, based on demand.

The framework will include provisions for providers who are offering accommodation ready for the estimated contract start, and providers who are interested in delivering services where accommodation is not yet identified.

A property has been made available by a Landlord for the purposes of this Framework.

Bidders may choose to include the available property in their bid.

Further details will be provided in the invitation to tender documents.

This opportunity is not suitable for recruitment consultants/agencies.

This is not a domiciliary care contract.

The requirement is for supported accommodation providers only, not organisations that supply staff.
