The Provision of a Housing First Project

This advert describes the vision Bridgend County Borough Council has for a Housing First Project. The project will build on current provision and will support Service Users who have chronic housing and support needs and are often unable to maintain or unwilling to reside in temporary or supported accommodation environments. Housing First (HF) is a unique approach to help tackle homelessness in a recovery-orientated way. The approach has been evidenced to successfully support people with repeat histories of homelessness into settled and stable homes. HF offers long-term support in affordable housing as quickly as possible for individuals experiencing entrenched homelessness. Wrap-around support and connections to community-based support is made available, to give Service Users the very best chance to successfully maintain their tenancies and avoid becoming homeless again. The Service User should be central to the service, exercising as much choice and control as possible. Support should be based around a person’s strengths rather than their problems, with services working proactively and with other services to encourage and facilitate engagement. HF approaches are based on the concept that a Service Users first and primary need is to obtain stable housing, and that other issues that may affect the household can and should be addressed once housing is obtained. The HF concept originated in the USA in the 1990s and has since been significantly promoted worldwide. It provides an alternative to a system of emergency accommodation / temporary housing options. Rather than moving homeless individuals through different "levels" of housing, whereby each level moves them closer to "independent housing", HF moves the homeless individual or household from the streets or temporary accommodation into their own accommodation and builds the support around them there. There is a distinct difference between HF and generic floating support. HF has been designed specifically to help people who have the highest and most complex needs out of the housing cohort, and may not be able to benefit from usual hostels or temporary shared settings. They therefore need to be housed into general or self-contained accommodation with a package of intensive support as part of a specific inter-agency programme. Overall, the core of the approach is that people should move straight into their own self-contained accommodation (which is not conditional upon engagement with support) and that flexible, intensive support should be offered around the needs of the person. They should also have normal security of tenure. This contract period will be for 3 years, commencing on 1st January 2026 with the option to extend for up to 24 months. The service will assist with the vision of the Housing Support Grant that promotes “A Wales where nobody is homeless and everyone has a safe home where they can flourish and live a fulfilled, active and independent life”. Provision will assist the Council in fulfilling its duties under The Housing (Wales) Act 2014, Social Services and Wellbeing (Wales) Act 2014 and Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015. This service will also assist the Council in meeting the aims and objectives set out in the Council’s Housing Support Programme Strategy 2022-2026 and subsequent Action Plan.

Contract for Integrated Domestic Abuse Services

North Tyneside Council is seeking to commission a fully integrated Domestic Abuse Service (IDAS) for an initial term of three years, with the option to extend for up to two further years. This service will deliver holistic, trauma-informed support for victims and survivors of domestic abuse - including both adults and children - regardless of protected characteristics, gender, or level of risk. The model will combine therapeutic and practical interventions that promote recovery, safety, empowerment, and long-term resilience. As part of our ongoing commitment to delivering high-quality, trauma-informed support to those affected by domestic abuse, North Tyneside Council is commissioning two separate contracts: Lot 1 - Domestic Abuse Support Service, Value £630,000 per annum: This contract will deliver an integrated model of community-based and accommodation-based support for adult victims and survivors of domestic abuse, including refuge and dispersed accommodation, IDVA support, outreach, behaviour change programmes, and adult counselling. Lot 2 - Counselling, Therapeutic Support (4-18 years) and Outreach for Children and Young People (11-18 years), Value £190,000 per annum: This contract focuses on providing age-appropriate counselling, therapeutic play, and outreach support to children and young people aged 4-18 who have experienced or been affected by domestic abuse. Providers may submit bids for one or both lots. Each lot will be evaluated independently, and providers should ensure they address the specific requirements and evaluation criteria for each lot they wish to apply for. Collaborative or consortium bids are also welcomed where appropriate. This dual-lot approach recognises the distinct needs of adults and children affected by domestic abuse, while promoting coordination across services to provide whole-family support.

Work Ready Service for Young Adults with Mental Illness

Essex County Council is commissioning a service to support individuals aged 16 to 26 years old who have experienced severe mental illness to achieve their vocational goals and aspirations. This service is in response to the disruption young adults experienced during and following Covid and the high levels of mental health illness now being experienced by young adults which is impacting on their education and employment opportunities This is a newly commissioned service, based on the data, needs and voice of people that use services who have told us that they do not get the support around their vocational aspirations when they need it due to their mental illness. The requirements for this service are not fully prescriptive. Essex County Council would expect the successful provider to work with commissioners and crucially people with lived experience and their carers to inform the design and delivery using a robust approach to co-producing the service. Lived experience and co-production should be at the heart of shaping the service and Essex County Council fully expects the service to evolve over the life of the contract to reflect this. The purpose of the service is to support young adults to: • Be enabled to develop the life skills necessary to access education, training or paid employment. • Build resilience and aspirations and return to school, college and/or begin training • Build confidence, self-esteem and motivation • Develop plans for how to achieve their career plans and aspirations • Build life skills such as time management, financial/budget management, organisation and team work • Become engagement ready and access other resources in the community such as youth services • In particular, the service is to provide opportunities for those individuals who may not have supportive families to guide them through finishing education and planning for work. • The service will also contribute to the delivery of the outcomes set out in the Essex Mental Health Strategy.
