The service supports eight people in a well-established supported living scheme with 16 self-contained flats, alongside communal space, supported living voids and general-needs homes managed by Platform Housing Group.

It also involves helping residents and housing partners maintain an accessible living environment. This is a health and social care service.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Agincare Enable Limited on 17 September 2026, subject to an eight-working-day standstill.

The award uses the light-touch regime. The contract is scheduled for signature by 15 October 2026.

This procurement shows demand from Leicester City Council for specialist supported living providers able to support adults with physical and sensory disabilities in a housing-based setting.

Capability should include effective partnership working with care management, health professionals, housing providers, residents and other tenants. Relevant expertise includes aids and adaptations, assistive technology, hearing support, sign language services and carer support, together with the ability to signpost residents to appropriate services.
