Description
Hampshire County Council's Children Services Directorate is required to provide services for High Intensity Supported Accommodation with Floating Support, for Young People aged 16-21. These High Intensity placements are for those who require short-term intensive (5 to 20 hours per week) or floating support before transitioning to independent living or lower levels of supported accommodation, such as supported lodging.
The requirement is for this service to provide short-term (maximum 12 months), person-centred and outcome-focused support, with the intention of supporting Young People to move towards more independent living. The requirement is for a service which offers both accommodation and intensive support, aimed at increasing independence and promoting engagement with education, employment or training (EET).
The contract is for an initial period of 2 years and 3 months, with two further 12 month extension opportunities to a maximum of 4 years and 3 months. The contract will start on 01 April 2026.
All providers hold appropriate Ofsted Registration and were required to have suitable properties available. This is part of the Ofsted Inspection Framework for services for children in need of help and protection, Looked After Children (LAC) and Care Leavers. This service requires an Ofsted registered service provider to be registered for supported accommodation in a shared or group living situation in premises which are not limited to accommodating Children Looked After or Care Leavers.
The High Intensity Service will be provided in suitable accommodation settings, such as shared houses with communal living facilities. The contract is for a maximum of 24 beds across three geographical areas within Hampshire. Contracts are being awarded for the following geographical areas;
A - Winchester, Eastleigh and Romsey
B - Basingstoke and Deane
C - Havant, Fareham and Gosport
The total contract value for Supported Accommodation and Support services, including any Floating Support, is £3,810,000. Additional rental costs may be incurred on a case-by-case basis at Housing Benefit rates, but these are pass-through payments and not guaranteed by Hampshire County Council.
