Portsmouth City Council ('the council') is inviting tenders from suitably qualified suppliers to provide a comprehensive and flexible family support service for families across a range of accommodation settings and tenures. The Service shall provide housing-related and parenting support to families who may be at risk of homelessness, with the overall aim of developing essential living skills, resilience and increasing independence. The Council currently has three contracts in place for the provision of tenancy-related support for families. A decision has been made to tender for a new, comprehensive service which will bring all commissioned family support provision together under one contract with a single provider.

The service will comprise of; o Element 1: Accommodation-based support for families with significant support needs (minimum 45 units) o Element 2: Dispersed tenancy support for families living in Local Authority sublet tenancies (minimum 32 units) o Element 3: Floating family support for families in other housing tenures (minimum 14 units) An organisation wishing to bid for this contract will need to be able to evidence it can provide accommodation which meets the requirements of element 1 of the Service and the provision of accommodation-based support.
