two.2.4) Description of the procurement

The Generic Support Service is expected to provide it’s homeless related support service across all client categories, unless customer ‘need’ requires them to be signposted to a more specialist support service.

The aim of the Supporting People (SP) programme is to improve well-being, maintain independence and prevent homelessness of vulnerable people by providing housing related support.

The overarching strategic objectives of the SP programme is to:

-Improve the quality of life of service users

-Promote and maintain independence

-Prevent homelessness

The aims of the SP Programme are to:

-Help vulnerable people live as independently as possible by ensuring Supporting People services are enabling, and developing a person’s independence as opposed to establishing a long-term dependency, i.e. ‘doing with’ as distinct from ‘doing for’.

-Prevent problems or provide help as early as possible in order to reduce demand on other services such as health and social services.

-Help people to secure and maintain their home, by

helping to maximise people’s income, improve their confidence and skills, and enable them to engage with wider programmes to access training and job opportunities.

-Ensure high quality services, which are delivered as efficiently and effectively as possible through joint working between organisations which plan and fund services and those that provide services.

-Provide support based on need.

-Promote equality and reducing inequalities.

-Put people at the heart of the programme.
