two.1.4) Short description
We are developing a supported housing framework commissioning Registered Providers to provide housing related support at units of accommodation they bring to the framework for childless couples and single people. BCC does not currently have a supported housing service for this cohort, and it is intended to complement the services we do currently commission for our homelessness pathways and supported families accommodation framework. This supported housing is a sustainable and fully funded alternative to Temporary Accommodation, which we currently procure from predominantly private landlords. The RPs will deliver the housing, and BCC will commission the RPs to deliver a housing related support service to the clients, and it is this support service that we are looking to procure. Homeless childless couples and singles present with differing levels of support need from low to high, and we would like this framework to reflect that variation by enabling flexible delivery of support according to client need.
Please note this is being tendered under the light touch regime and will result in the formation of an "open framework" whereby providers can apply to join, or resubmit if unsuccessful, throughout the duration of the framework.
