Description

Northamptonshire Children's Trust (hereafter referred to as the "Children's Trust") wishes to invite Tender Responses for the supply of services in respect of this requirement.

This specification covers providing Supported Accommodation for children in care and care leavers aged 16 to 21, for Northamptonshire, including, where required, out of county homes.  It excludes provision delivered by the Northamptonshire Children's Trust own provision or those already contracted under separate service contracts.

The primary role of young people's supported accommodation is to prepare our young people for independence and adulthood. Where each young person starts on this journey will be different and the rate at which they move through this journey will vary but our Supported Accommodation providers and their staff, through their support, will proactively work with our care leavers to ensure successful transition to adulthood where they will thrive.

Services that will be purchased by the Children's Trust will be individualised packages to meet the needs of our care leavers so that they are supported to successfully move onto adulthood and independence.

The  Children's Trust is setting up a Framework Agreement for the Provision of Supported Accommodation and Supported Hours for Young People aged 16 to 21 for an initial period of 50 months, with an option to extend for 36 months, making 86 months in total.

Services will be categorised by the following Lots that are described further in the specification:

•	Lot 1 - Supported Accommodation for 16 and 17 year-olds (must be registered with Ofsted) 
•	Lot 2 - Supported Accommodation for 18 to 21 year-olds 
•	Lot 3 - Additional Support Hours 

The Light Touch Regime (LTR) applies to the Services under this Framework Agreement, as per Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

Semi-Independent Supported Housing for Homeless People

The Council wishes to procure units of semi-independent supported housing for homeless people, aged 18+ For some homeless people, a hostel is not the optimal setting in which to develop independent living skills. A protracted stay in a hostel, particularly as independence develop and grows, can be counter-productive for some vulnerable people. Similarly, a hostel may not always be the appropriate environment for those residents that have fewer, or less complex presenting issues, or those that already have some degree of independent living skills, as the time spent by staff providing support can often be monopolised by those residents that present with chaotic behaviours. It is expected that the target Service User profile for this service will have fewer or less complex support needs than their peers in other homeless services. This is not to say that the target service user profile will not present with any support needs, but rather it is intended that this service will be aimed at those that may have already spent time in more intensive supported housing but who no longer require that level of support; or that they may have previously held a tenancy. The service will be expected to deliver housing-related support that is designed to maximise a person's ability to live independently and will cover aspects such as Physical/Mental Health, Finance & Budgeting, Employment, Training or Education etc. The Council is seeking bids that propose the use of dispersed single-occupancy accommodation, rather than group living. The opportunity is lotted as follows Lot 1 - 14 Units of Semi-Independent Supported Housing for Homeless People Lot 2 - 50 Units of Semi-Independent Supported Housing for Homeless People Tenderers may respond to one or both Lots
