Notice Information

Notice Title

High Intensity Supported Accommodation

Notice Description

Hampshire County Council (the "Council") has awarded contracts for High Intensity Supported Accommodation Services, for young people aged 16-21, for whom the Council has a duty to offer accommodation. These are block contract agreements, across three Geographical Areas. This contract is for an initial period of 2 years and 3 months, with 2 further 1 year extensions available. The contract will start on 01 April 2026. These High Intensity placements are for those young people who require short-term intensive support (from 5 to 20 hours per week) or floating support before transitioning to independent living or lower levels of supported accommodation, such as supported lodging. High Intensity Supported Accommodation provides accommodation with support for 16 and 17 year-old Looked After Children and Care Leavers (18-21 years old), to enable them to live independently. Additionally, this service provides Supported Accommodation for Separated Children. The High Intensity service provides short-term, person-centred, and outcome-focused support in multi-occupancy settings. Service Providers will offer accommodation and support aimed at increasing independence skills within a year, promoting engagement with Education, Employment, or Training (EET), and facilitating the transition to more independent living arrangements. The High Intensity Service will be provided in suitable accommodation settings, such as shared houses with communal living facilities, and all providers have the appropriate Ofsted registration. This procurement was conducted as an Open Procedure. At contract award stage, we offered contracts to four suppliers, however two suppliers withdrew their offers prior to contract signing. Hence the discrepancy between the Contract Award Notice and the Contract Details Notices.
