Coventry City Council (CCC) is re-commissioning its block contract for the provision of Supported Accommodation and Floating Support services for young people aged 16-24, including Children in Care (CiC), Care Leavers, and Unaccompanied Asylum-Seeking Children (UASC).

This service is mandated under several key legislative frameworks: • Children Act 1989 (as amended) • Children Act 2004 • Children and Social Work Act 2017 • Southwark Judgement (2009) • Homelessness Reduction Act 2018 As of October 2023, Supported Accommodation is regulated by Ofsted.

Providers must: • Be registered or in the process of registering with Ofsted. • Comply with The Supported Accommodation (England) Regulations 2023 and any future amendments.

Young people's needs are categorized into six groups: 1.

Low support needs - minimal supervision and guidance.

2.

Complex needs - intensive, specialist support (e.g., mental health, 24/7 care).

3.

Mild learning disabilities - enhanced support for daily living and learning.

4.

UASC - support with language, cultural integration, and life skills.

5.

NRPF - independent accommodation with immigration-related support.

6.

Parent and child - parenting support, attachment development, and service access.

Expected outcomes align with Ofsted's principles: • Young people feel safe and secure in their environment. • Their voices are heard and respected. • Support staff are skilled, understanding, and collaborative. • Accommodation is comfortable, stable, and well-maintained. • Support sustains health and wellbeing. • Relationships are trusting and meaningful. • Young people are prepared for independent living. • They feel positive about their future.
