Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust is seeking an assisted accommodation and housing-related support service for eligible adults leaving its inpatient and rehabilitation services. The provider will source suitable accommodation and help people move from hospital into community living, sustain tenancies and live independently. The service also supports discharge and housing coordination with the Trust’s referral teams and partner agencies across health, social care, housing and welfare. It includes accommodation sourcing, discharge support, tenancy sustainment, void management and monitoring outcomes such as service-user experience and equality. The work is delivered across Lincolnshire. United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust is acting as procurement agent for the buying Trust.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The procurement is for one lot, with selection based on economic and technical criteria set out in the Supplier Information Questionnaire. Evaluation is weighted 80% quality, 10% price and 10% social value; detailed price and quality requirements are in the Invitation to Tender. The estimated value is £350,000 excluding VAT (£420,000 including VAT). The contract is scheduled to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with two possible 12-month renewals, extending at most to 31 March 2032. The deadline for questions was 20 October 2026 at 12 noon; offers were due by 21 October 2026 at 12 noon. The award decision was scheduled by 1 December 2026.

This opportunity suits providers able to combine accommodation sourcing with practical transition-from-hospital support and ongoing tenancy sustainment for adults with health and social care needs. Suppliers need the operational ability to secure safe, suitable housing, coordinate discharge with referral teams and partner agencies, maintain tenancies and manage void accommodation as service-user numbers change. The service builds on an established provision for 15 concurrent service users; reported recent occupancy averaged 93%, indicating the need to manage capacity closely. Strong performance measurement will matter, including tenancy sustainment at 3, 6 and 12 months, service-user experience, sourcing timescales, equality analysis and value for money. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises are identified as suitable participants. Economic and technical capability is assessed through the Supplier Information Questionnaire.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Assisted Accommodation with Housing Related Support and Tenancy Support Services

Notice Description

Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust recognises the significant role that suitable accommodation, housing stability and social inclusion play in supporting individuals to live independently, participate within their communities and maintain sustainable tenancies. Access to safe, affordable and appropriate accommodation is a key factor in improving wellbeing, reducing social exclusion and supporting positive life outcomes. Housing instability is frequently associated with increased reliance on statutory services, tenancy breakdown and barriers to independent living. The service is required for eligible adults leaving LPFT inpatient and rehabilitation services who need accommodation-transition and tenancy support. It will be used by Service Users, authorised LPFT referral teams and partner agencies involved in discharge, housing, welfare, health and social care. The required model will maintain the core accommodation-sourcing, discharge and tenancy-sustainment service while strengthening measurable outcomes, tenancy sustainment at 3, 6 and 12 months, Service User experience, accommodation-sourcing timescales, void management, equality analysis and value-for-money assurance. The current service is an established provision. Commissioned capacity is 15 active concurrent Service Users; recent performance information reports average occupancy of 93%, 27 referrals since April 2024, a 74% acceptance rate and positive move-on outcomes for all recorded Service Users. The service supports broader integrated system objectives by improving access to housing options, tenancy sustainment services and coordinated support arrangements across Lincolnshire. It also supports national and local priorities to move support from hospital to community, prevent avoidable delay, improve independence, address housing as a determinant of health and enable people to live well in their communities.
