Opportunity overview

Preliminary Market Engagement (PME)/soft market test related to the provision of Supported Accommodation for Young People aged 18 and over. Please note this is not an opportunity to tender but is an information gathering exercise to inform the Councils future requirement. The proposed service will be for care leavers aged 18-21 (up to 25 in some cases) with low to moderate support needs and will provide: • Safe, good-quality shared accommodation within Leicestershire • Flexible, needs-led support that allows young people to progress into independent living • Help to young people to build; Practical life skills; Emotional resilience; Social integration • Ensure value for money including maximising the use of Universal Credit housing support The proposed service model is for a block of shared accommodation beds and a block of flexible support hours. The support hours will be used flexibly across the beds depending on the needs of individual young people and will reduce over time in line with the young person's increasing independence. The purpose of this PME is to gauge interest from the market and to investigate potential options for the service described above. This is not an invitation to bid, this is solely a request for information. Responding to this request for information does not advantage or disadvantage any supplier in any possible future procurement process.
