Notice Information
Notice Title
London Accommodation Pathfinder
Notice Description
The London Accommodation Pathfinder (LAP) is a project which offers supported accommodation as an alternative to custody. This is a pan-London initiative, led by Camden as the lead authority in partnership with approximately 11 London Boroughs. The LAP will initially offer a five bed provision in London for 16-17 year old male children with some turning 18 whilst in the service. The aims are to reduce the number of children experiencing custody, improve their safety, wellbeing, life chances, reduce risks of re-offending and harm and protect the public and victims. The London Borough of Camden is leading on the procurement exercise for the re-commissioning of the London Accommodation Pathfinder Service on behalf of the other participating authorities (London Boroughs of Enfield, Hackney, Greenwich, Kingston & Richmond (shared service arrangements), Wandsworth, Waltham Forest, Haringey, Hillingdon, Merton and Newham).
Lot Information
Lot 1
Options: The new provision will be for five placements in a single supported accommodation setting, with scope in the contract to expand the provision if the demand for an increase can be evidenced. To enable this, the contract contains a clause which will allow for growth of the service and expansion of the contract in other London boroughs not currently listed.
Renewal: The contract can be extended for a period of 1 x 2 years at the sole discretion of the participating authorities
